PYTHON PROGRAMMING

INTRODUCTION

 Python is a high-level programming language


designed for ease of use and readability.
 It was created in the early 1990s by Guido
van Rossum and has since gained popularity
due to its clear syntax and powerful
capabilities.
HISTORY OF PYTHON
 1980s: Python’s origins trace back to the late
1980s. Guido van Rossum began working on
Python in December 1989 at (CWI) in the
Netherlands.
 Python was inspired by the ABC programming
language, which was also developed at CWI. Van
Rossum aimed to fix some of ABC's limitations,
particularly its inability to handle exceptions and
interact with the operating system.
PYTHON VERSION
 Python 1.0:1994: Python 1.0 was officially
released. This version included important
features like lambda, map, filter, and reduce.
 October 2000: Python 2.0 was released. It

brought significant improvements:


 Garbage collection was introduced to

manage memory automatically.


 List comprehensions made it easier to

create lists in a more readable and compact


way.
PYTHON 3.0

 Print function: print became a function

instead of a statement (print() instead of

print).

 Better handling of Unicode strings as

default.

 A clean separation between text and binary

data.
READABILITY AND SIMPLICITY:

 Python prioritizes clear and logical code,


making it easier for beginners to understand.
 Unlike many languages that use braces and

brackets
 Python relies on indentation and whitespace,

which helps in writing more accessible code.


VERSATILITY

 Python can be applied in various fields such


as data science, artificial intelligence, web
development, automation, and many more.
 Its extensive libraries and frameworks
expand its capabilities for different tasks.
RAPID DEVELOPMENT
 Python is designed to optimize development
time, which allows programmers to quickly
prototype and implement solutions.
STRONG COMMUNITY AND
DOCUMENTATION
 There’s a wealth of online resources and
documentation available, making it easier to
find help and improve your skills.
KEY FEATURES OF PYTHON:
 Interpreted Language: Python code is executed line-by-
line, making debugging easier.
 Dynamically Typed: You don’t need to declare the type of
a variable; Python infers the type at runtime.
 Extensive Standard Library: Python comes with a large
standard library that supports many common programming
tasks.
 Cross-Platform: Python runs on many platforms,
including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
 Readable Syntax: Python emphasizes readability, using
indentation rather than curly braces to define code blocks.
MODERN PYTHON USE CASES
 Data Science & Machine Learning: Python’s libraries
like pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and
PyTorch are widely used in the fields of data analysis and
AI.
 Web Development: Frameworks like Django and Flask
have made Python a popular choice for web development.
 Automation/Scripting: Python’s simplicity and versatility
make it ideal for writing scripts and automating repetitive
tasks.
 Scientific Computing: Libraries like SciPy and
Matplotlib are used extensively in scientific computing.
