![Why was python created?
"My original motivation for creating Python was the feel need for a
higher level language in the Amoeba [Operating Systems] project.
I realized that the development of system administration use in
C was taking too long. Moreover, doing these things in the Bourne shell
wouldn't work for a variety of reasons. ...
So, there was a need for a language that would fill up the gap
between C and Bourne shell”

![Running Python…
Once you're inside the Python interpreter, type in commands at
will.
• Examples:
>>> print 'Hello world'
Hello world
# Relevant output is displayed on subsequent lines without the >>>
symbol
>>> x = [0,1,2]
# Quantities stored in memory are not displayed by default
>>> x
# If a quantity is stored in memory, typing its name will display it
[0,1,2]
>>> 2+3

- 5. What is Python…? Python is a general purpose programming language that is often applied in scripting roles. So, Python is programming language as well as scripting language. Python is also called as Interpreted language
- 6. Differences between program and scripting language Program a program is executed (i.e. the source is first compiled, and the result of that compilation is expected) A "program" in general, is a sequence of instructions written so that a computer can perform certain task. Scripting a script is interpreted A "script" is code written in a scripting language. A scripting language is nothing but a type of programming language in which we can write code to control another software application.
- 7. History… Invented in the Netherlands, early 90s by Guido van Rossum Python was conceived in the late 1980s and its implementation was started in December 1989 Guido Van Rossum is fan of ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’, this is a famous TV show in Netherlands Named after Monty Python Open sourced from the beginning

- 11. Why do people use Python…? Seem to be these: Python is object-oriented : Structure supports such concepts as polymorphism, operation overloading, and multiple inheritance. Indentation : Indentation is one of the greatest feature in Python. It's free (open source) : Downloading and installing Python is free and easy It’s Source code is easily accessible
- 12. It's powerful : - Dynamic typing - Library utilities - Third party utilities - Automatic memory management It's portable : - Python runs virtually every major platform used today
- 13. It's mixable : - Python can be linked to components written in other languages easily - Linking to fast, compiled code is useful to intensive problems - Python/C integration is quite common It's easy to use : - It’s have no intermediate compile and link steps as in C/ C++ - Programs are compiled automatically from bytecode - This gives Python the development speed without the performance loss inherent in purely interpreted languages It's easy to learn : - Structure and syntax are pretty natural and easy to grasp
- 14. Installing Python… Python is pre-installed on most Unix systems, including Linux and MAC OS X But for in Windows Operating Systems , user can download from the https://www.python.org/downloads/ - from the above link download latest version of python IDE and install, recent version is 3.4.1 but most of them uses version 2.7.7 only
- 15. After installing the Python Ver#2.7.7, go to start menu then click on python 2.7 in that one you can select python (command line) it is prompt with >>>
- 16. Who uses python today… Python is being applied in real revenue-generating products by real companies. For instance: Google makes extensive use of Python in its web search system, and employs Python’s creator. Intel, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Seagate, Qualcomm, and IBM use Python for hardware testing. ESRI uses Python as an end-user customization tool for its popular GIS mapping products. The YouTube video sharing service is largely written in Python
- 17. What can I do with Python…? System programming Graphical User Interface Programming Internet Scripting Component Integration Database Programming Gaming, Images, XML , Robot and more
- 18. A Sample Code x = 34 - 23 # A comment. y = “Hello” # Another one. z = 3.45 if z == 3.45 or y == “Hello”: x = x + 1 y = y + “ World” # String concat. print x print y
- 19. Enough to understand the code… Indentation matters to code meaning - Block structure indicated by indentation First assignment to a variable creates it - Variable types don’t need to be declared. - Python figures out the variable types on its own. Assignment is = and comparison is == For numbers + - * / % are as expected - Special use of + for string concatenation and % for string formatting (as in C’s printf) Logical operators are words (and, or, not) not symbols The basic printing command is print
- 20. Python Code Execution … Python’s traditional runtime execution model: source code you type is translated to byte code, which is then run by the Python Virtual Machine. Your code is automatically compiled, but then it is interpreted. Source code extension is .py Byte code extension is .pyc (compiled python code)
- 21. Running Python… Once you're inside the Python interpreter, type in commands at will. • Examples: >>> print 'Hello world' Hello world # Relevant output is displayed on subsequent lines without the >>> symbol >>> x = [0,1,2] # Quantities stored in memory are not displayed by default >>> x # If a quantity is stored in memory, typing its name will display it [0,1,2] >>> 2+3 5
