Here’s a detailed Python notes guide covering all major topics, from basics to
advanced concepts:
1. Introduction to Python
High-level, interpreted, and object-oriented programming language.
Designed for readability and easy syntax.
Supports multiple paradigms: procedural, object-oriented, and functional.
2. Basic Syntax
Print(“Hello, World!”)
Indentation is mandatory.
Comments: # Single line, ‘’’ or “”” Multi-line ‘’’
3. Data Types
Primitive Types
Int, float, bool, str, complex
Collection Types
List, tuple, set, dict
4. Variables and Constants
X = 10
PI = 3.14 # Constant by convention
Dynamically typed.
Multiple assignment: a, b = 5, 10
5. Operators
Arithmetic: + - * / % // **
Comparison: == != > < >= <=
Logical: and or not
Membership: in, not in
6. Control Flow
Conditional
If x > 0:
Print(“Positive”)
Elif x == 0:
Print(“Zero”)
Else:
Print(“Negative”)
Loops
For I in range(5):
Print(i)
While condition:
# do something
7. Functions
Def greet(name):
Return “Hello “ + name
Print(greet(“Alice”))
Supports default, keyword, variable-length arguments.
8. Lambda Functions
Add = lambda x, y: x + y
9. Object-Oriented Programming
Class Car:
Def __init__(self, color):
Self.color = color
Def drive(self):
Print(f”Driving {self.color} car”)
My_car = Car(“red”)
My_car.drive()
Supports inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation
10. Exception Handling
Try:
X = 10 / 0
Except ZeroDivisionError:
Print(“Cannot divide by zero”)
Finally:
Print(“End of try block”)
11. File Handling
With open(“file.txt”, “r”) as f:
Content = f.read()
Modes: “r”, “w”, “a”, “b”, “x”
12. Modules and Packages
Import math
Print(math.sqrt(16))
Create custom modules using .py files.
13. Built-in Functions
Examples: len(), type(), input(), str(), int(), list(), dir(), help()
14. Comprehensions
Squares = [x*x for x in range(10)]
15. Decorators
Def decorator_func(func):
Def wrapper():
Print(“Before”)
Func()
Print(“After”)
Return wrapper
@decorator_func
Def say_hello():
Print(“Hello”)
16. Generators
Def gen():
Yield 1
Yield 2
For val in gen():
Print(val)
17. File I/O
Reading/writing to text and binary files.
Using open(), read(), write(), with statement.
18. Python Libraries
NumPy: numerical computations
Pandas: data manipulation
Matplotlib: visualization
Requests: HTTP requests
Tkinter: GUI apps
OpenCV: computer vision
19. Data Science and AI
Libraries: sklearn, tensorflow, keras, seaborn, statsmodels
Data handling with Pandas and visualization with Matplotlib
20. Web Development
Flask, Django for backend development.
Jinja2, ORM, REST APIs
