What is python?
Python is a general purpose programming language that is often applied in
scripting roles. So, python is a programming language as well as a scripting
language.

Python is also called as Interpreted language.

The language places strong emphasis on code reliability and simplicity so that the
programmer can develop applications rapidly.
Python is multi-paradigm programming language which
allow user to code in several different programming styles.

Python supports cross platform development and is available


through open source.

Python is widely used for scripting in Game menu


applications effectively.

History of Python

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 Circuis’this is a


famous TV show in Netherlands

Named after Monty Python

Open sourced from the beginning


Advantages of python
Most programs on python require considerably less
number of lines of code to perform the same task compare
to another language like C. So less programming errors
and reduces the development time needed also.

Though Perl is a powerful language, it is highly syntax


oriented. Similarly C also.
Scope of Python
What can I do with python ?

System programming

Graphical user interface


programming

Internet scripting

Component integration

Database programming

gaming images, XML, Robot and more.


Why do people use Python?

The following primary factors cited by python users seem to be these

Python is object-oriented
Structure supports such concepts as polymorphism operation overloading & multiple inheritance

Its free (Open source)

Downloading and installing python is free

and easy source code is easily accessible


It’s powerful
Dynamic typing

Build-in types & tools

library utility

Third party utility (e.g. Numeric, NumPy, SciPy)

Automatic memory management

It’s portable
Python runs virtually every major platform used today

As long as you have a compatible python interpreterinstalled, python programmes will run in exactly
the samemanner, irrespective of platform .
Installing Python IDE
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
http://www.python.org/downloads/

-From the above link download the latest version of python IDE and
install, recent version is 3.4.1 but most of them uses version 2.7.7 only
Running Python
Once you are inside the Python interpreter, type in commands at will.

Examples:

>>>print 'Hello world’

Hello world
Thank
you
