Python 3 Programming

Introduction to Python
Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented scripting language which
finds its application in many areas like -

 Webscripting
 3d Modelling (Blender)
 Desktop Applications -`Games (Pygame)
 Scientific usage (SciPy/NumPy)

Python source code is available under the GNU General Public License (GPL). There are
two major Python versions, Python 2 and Python 3.

Python features

 Open Source and Simple to use

 Very powerful and Ubiquitous
 Supports broad standard library
 Supports interactive testing and debugging
 Established interface with all major DB's
 Runs on variety of hardware platforms
Technical features of Python

 Object-oriented (supports both functional and structured programming)
 Dynamically and strongly typed
 Whitespace delimited (Indentation)
 Scripting language which supports large applications.
 High-level dynamic data types and supports dynamic type checking
 Automatic garbage collection
 Interpreted makes compiler interact with developer.
 Easy integration with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA and Java.

Python Implementations
 CPython - Python implementation on standard C language.
 Jython - Python implementation with Java virtual machine to blend with Java.
 Pypy - Python implemented in Python and its Just-in time compiler making it fastest.
 Iron Python - for windows, which implements common runtime libraries to interface
with .NET.

Difference between Python2 & Python3

Print:

 Python 2 treats “print” as statement rather a function.

 Python 3 explicitly treats “print” as a function.

Integer Division:

 Python 2 treats numbers without any digits. (Output of expression 3 / 2 is 1, not 1.5).
To get the result 1.5, you would have to write 3.0 / 2.0.
 Python 3 evaluates 3 / 2 as 1.5 by default, which is more intuitive for new
programmers.

List Comprehension Loop Variables: Common name for the variables that is iterated over
in a list comprehension as a global variable get interchanged. This is fixed in Python 3.

Unicode Strings: By default Python 3 stores strings as Unicode unlike Python 2.

Raising Exceptions: Python 3 requires different syntax for raising exceptions.

  Python 2:raise IOError, “some error message”
 Python3: raise IOError(“some error message”)

Hands-0n

#1
#Hands-on - Print
#Write a script to print "Welcome to Python 3".
print('Welcome to Python\' 3')

#2
#Hands-on - Range
#Write script to print the values 0 1 2 3 4. Hint: Use 'range' function and 'for'
loop

for index in range(0,5):

print(index, end=" ")
print()

#3
#Hands-on - Namespaces
#Write the syntax to list the namespaces inside Python by default.

print(dir())
