Python
 Is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-
level programming language
 High-level built-in data structures w/
dynamic typing and binding
 Python’s syntax is easy to learn
 Python interpreter and standard library
-available w/o charge for all major
platforms and can be freely distributed
 Programmers-used Python because it
increases productivity
 Edit-test-debug Cycle-is fast and
effective
 The quickest way to debug a program is
to add few print statements to the
source
HISTORY
 Conceptualized in the late 1980s by
Guido van Rossum-worked as an
implementer on a computer language
called ABC
 ABC at the National Research Institute
for Mathematics and Computer
Science-greatly influenced the design of
Python
 Published the first version of Python
code (version 0.9.0) at alt.sources in
February 1991-include exception ,
handling, functions, and core data
types.
 January 1994 Python version 1.0-
features the functional programming
tools
 0ctober 2000, Python 2.0-include list
comprehensions, a full garbage
collector and supporting Unicode
 Python 3.0
o Also known as Python 3000 or
Py3K-the removal of duplicate
programming constructs and
modules
FEATURES
 It is a simple and minimalistic language
o Pseudocode nature of Python-is
one of its greatest strength
 It is extremely easy to get started with
o Has an extraordinary simple
syntax
 It is free and Open source
 It is a high-level language
 It is portable
o Use on Linux, Windows,
Macintosh, Solaris, PlayStation,
and many more
 It is an interpreted language
o No separate compilation and
execution steps
 It supports procedure-oriented
programming
 It can be embedded within our C/C++
program
o Scripting capabilities for our
program’s users
 It has an extensive standard library
 It is an exciting and powerful language
APPLICATIONS
 Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based
desktop applications
o Include image processing and
graphic design application
 Web frameworks and web applications
 Enterprise and business applications
o Python is suitable coding
language for customizing larger
applications
 Reddit-Python (2005)
 YouTube-Python
 Operating Systems
o Python is often an integral part
of Linux distributions
 Language Development
 o Python’s architecture has
influence development of
numerous language
 Prototyping
o Python in free and has the
support of a large community

KEYWORDS-reserved words in Python. They are

used to define the syntax and structure in
Python

 Are case-sensitive
 There are 33 keywords

False class finally is return

None continue for lambda try
True def from nonlocal while
and del global not with
as elif if or yield
assert else import pass
break except in raise

IDENTIFIERS- are the name given to entities like

classes, functions, variables, etc. in Python.
