Python was created by Guido Van Rossum
The language was released in February I991
Python got its name from a BBC comedy series from
seventies- “Monty Python‟s Flying Circus”
Python can be used to follow both Procedural approach
and Object Oriented approach of programming
It is free to use
Python is based on or influenced with two
programming languages:
ABC language [replacement of BASIC]
Modula-3

• Python is compact and very easy to use object oriented
language with very simple syntax rules. It is very high
level language and thus very-very programmer -friendly
• More capable to express code‟s purpose than many
othr language like – swapping of two numbers:
In C++ In Python
int a=2, b=3, tmp; a,b=2,3
tmp=a; a,b=b,a
a=b;
b=tmp; VINOD KUMAR MA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

• It is interpreted not compiled, thus executes code line by line
and it makes python easy-to-debug and suitable for
beginners and advanced users
• When you install Python, you get everything i.e. you don‟t
need to install additional libraries. All functionality is
available with Python additional library. Features like web-
pages, database connectivity, GUI features are available in
Python standard library. Python follows – “Battery included”
philosophy

• Python can run equally well on variety of platforms –
Windows, Linux/UNIX, Macintosh, supercomputers, smart
phones. Python is portable language.
• It is feely available i.e. without any cost can be
downloaded from www.python.org.
• It is also open source i.e. you can modify, improve/extend
an open-source software

• Python is being used in many diverse
fields/applications, some of which
are:
• Scripting
• Web Applications
• Game Development
• System Administrations
• Rapid Prototyping
• GUI Programs
• Database Applications

Not the fastest language
Lesser Libraries than C, Java, Perl
Not Strong on Type-binding
Not Easily convertible

• Because of its interpreted nature Python is not fast as
compare to compiled language. Python is first compiled into
an internal byte-code which is then executed by Python
interpreter.
• Python offers library support for almost all computing
programs, but its library is still not competent with
languages like C, java as they have larger collection
available.

&
SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
• Python is not very strong on data type checking i.e. “Type-
mismatch” issues. For example if you declare variable as
integer but later store a string value in it, Python will not
raise any error.
• Because of its lack of syntax, Python is easy to program but
it becomes disadvantage when it comes to translate python
program to another language.

Before we start working on Python we need to install Python in
our computer. There are multiple distributions available today:
Default Installation available from www.python.org is called
Cpython installation and comes with python interpreter,
Python IDLE(Python GUI) and Pip(package installer)
ANACONDA Python distribution is one such
highly recommended distribution that comes with
preloaded many packages and libraries(NumPy, SciPy, Panda
etc)
Other Popular IDEs like Sypder, PytCharm, etc. Spyder IDE
is
available as a part ofKUMAR
VINOD ANACONDA.

After Python installation we can start working with python.
In Python we can work in 2 ways:
Interactive
Mode
Python (Immediate
working Mode)
Ways
Script
Mode
VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR
&
SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
The default installation of CPython comes with
Interpreter, Python IDLE and pip(package installer). To work
Python
in either interactive mode or script we need to open
Python IDLE
To work in interactive mode, follow the process given below:
(i) Click start button All Programs Python 3.6.x IDLE
Or
Click start button All Programs Python 3.6.x Python
(command
line)
VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
Interactive modes – one command at a time
Python executes the given command and gives the output.
In interactive mode we type command at IDLE prompt ( >>>
)
For
>>> e.g20
if you
+ 30type 20 + 30 in from of IDLE
(command prompt
give by user)
50 (output given by
python)
From the above example you can see than at >>> we have
to just give the command to execute and python we execute it
if it is error free otherwise gives an error.

Script Mode – multiple commands can be saved in a file as
a
program and then we can execute the entire program
we type Python program in a file and then use the
interpreter to execute the content from the file.
Working in interactive mode is convenient for beginners and
for testing small pieces of code, as we can test them
immediately. But for coding more than few lines, we should
always save our code so that we may modify and reuse the
code

In Python IDLE :
Click File New
In new window type the commands you want to save in
program
For example:
print(“Hello World!”)
FileSave to save file. Give extension .py to execute it
as python script

Type the below code in script
file:
#My First Program
print(“Hello

When you execute the script file output will be
only Hello World
Note: the first line starts from # which makes line

To print or display output Python 3.x provides print()
function. Examples:-
print(“Welcome to Python”)
it will print Welcome to Python
print(„Python rocks!‟)
it will print Python rocks!
Note: Python allows both single quotation and double
quotation to enclose string. In any case both opening and
closing must be same.
print(„Look carefully”)
it will give error because both opening and closing
quotes are VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR
different. &
SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
Note
:1) In Python 2.x print is a statement, not a function
2)Python is case-sensitive i.e. it will treat small
letter and capital letter as two different entities like m
& M will be treated differently in Python.
3)We can use up arrow (↑) and down arrow (↓) to
select previous command and press enter to recall and
execute.
4)print statement is required only while working
with script mode otherwise in interactive mode values
can be printed without print &statement
