PYTHON

Introduction to Python
Python programming language is developed
by Guido van Rossum in February
1991.Python was named after the British
comedy show, Monty Python's Flying Circus
at the National Research institute for
Mathematics and Computer Science in the
Netherlands. Python derived from many
High level language
other an including ABC, Modula 3, Unix shell,
and other scripting languages. Have all features of high level prog lang

IDLE :integrated development and learning enviro.
An ordered set of of instructions to be
executed by a computer to carry out a
specific task is called a program, and the
language used to write the set of
instructions to the computer is called a
programming language.
IDLE is and integrated Development
Environment.
Simple syntax that make it easy to read and
write. It also increases productivity
Easy to find errors and debug python prog
Interpreted
It uses an interpreter (known as python virtual
machine) to convert the code and run on any
platform. It converts the source code into an
intermediate form called byte codes and then
translates this into the native language.

Features of python
Easy: Simple and easy to learn and code
Simple syntax like English language
Capable to code complex problems
Expressive : Easy to code as it has simple syntax
Fewer syntactical make python an expressive Dynamically-typed Language
language Python is a dynamically-typed language. It means you
Portable: Platform independent language do not need to declare the type of the variables
before their use while programming. Python uses
It is interpreted into its byte code and this magic memory management at its best. In Python, it is also
code makes it portable possible that during a variable's lifetime, you can
change its type as well..
 Us es of Python
Web and Internet Development: Python has a
huge built-in library that supports internet
protocols and offers many choices for web
development.
Scientific and Numeric Computing: Python is
widely used to compute scientific and numeric Interactive mode
problems as it has a huge library of
It can execute single line commands only. An
mathematics and data analysis packages.
interactive mode is a command line shell which
Desktop GUIS: Python is also used to build gives immediate result for each statement. The
desktop GUIS and applications using interactive mode is the default mode of Python
and it opens up when you launch the Python
various toolkits. Software Development: IDLE on your computer.
Software developers are using Python to
develop various tools and software. >>>>> (python prompt)

Business Applications: Python is used to build Script mode

ERP and e-commerce systems that can be used
Script mode enables you to write block of
with huge data and can solve complex
code or multiple lines of code, known as a

script or Python program. The script is saved
Limitations of Python with .py extension.

+ Python is an interpreted and dynamically

typed programming language. Code execution
that is carried out line by line is often slow.
+ Python's memory consumption is too high
due to the flexibility of the data types.
+ It has lesser libraries to than other
programming languages like c++, java etc.
