Python Programming

Python programming
Python is a general purpose, dynamic, high

level, and interpreted programming
language. It supports Object Oriented
programming approach to develop
applications. It is simple and easy to learn
and provides lots of high-level data
structures.
Python is easy to learn yet
powerful and versatile scripting
language, which makes it
attractive for Application
Development.
Python's syntax and dynamic
typing with its interpreted nature
make it an ideal language for
scripting and rapid application
development.
Python supports multiple
programming pattern, including
object-oriented, imperative, and
functional or procedural
programming styles.
Python is not intended to work in a
particular area, such as web
programming. That is why it is
known
as multipurpose programming
language because it can be used
with web, enterprise, 3D CAD, etc.
We don't need to use data types to
declare variable because it
is dynamically typed so we can
write a=10 to assign an integer
value in an integer variable.
Python makes the development
and debugging fast because there
is no compilation step included in
Python development, and edit-test-
debug cycle is very fast.
Python Features
1) Easy to Learn and Use

Python is easy to learn and use. It is developer-friendly and high level
programming language.
2) Expressive Language
Python language is more expressive means that it is more
understandable and readable.
3) Interpreted Language
Python is an interpreted language i.e. interpreter executes the code line
by line at a time. This makes debugging easy and thus suitable for
beginners.
4) Cross-platform Language
Python can run equally on different platforms such as Windows, Linux,
Unix and Macintosh etc. So, we can say that Python is a portable
language.
5) Free and Open Source

Python language is freely available at offical web address.
https://www.python.org/
The source-code is also available. Therefore it is open source.
6) Object-Oriented Language
Python supports object oriented language and concepts of classes and
objects come into existence.
7) Extensible
It implies that other languages such as C/C++ can be used to compile the
code and thus it can be used further in our python code.
8) Large Standard Library
Python has a large and broad library and prvides rich set of module
and functions for rapid application development.
9) GUI Programming Support

Graphical user interfaces can be developed using Python.
10) Integrated
It can be easily integrated with languages like C, C++, JAVA etc.
Python History and Versions
Python laid its foundation in the late 1980s.
The implementation of Python was started in the December 1989

by Guido Van Rossum at CWI in Netherland.
In February 1991, van Rossum published the code (labeled version

0.9.0) to alt.sources.
In 1994, Python 1.0 was released with new features like: lambda,
map, filter, and reduce.
Python 2.0 added new features like: list comprehensions, garbage

collection system.
On December 3, 2008, Python 3.0 (also called "Py3K") was
released. It was designed to rectify fundamental flaw of the
language.
ABC programming language is said to be the predecessor of

Python language which was capable of Exception Handling and
interfacing with Amoeba Operating System.
Python is influenced by following programming languages:
ABC language.
Modula-3
Python Applications
Python is known for its general purpose nature that makes it

applicable in almost each domain of software development.
Python as a whole can be used in any sphere of development.
Here, we are specifing applications areas where python can be

applied.

Here, we are specifing applications areas where python can be applied.

1) Web Applications
We can use Python to develop web applications. It provides libraries to
handle internet protocols such as HTML and XML, JSON, Email
processing, request, beautifulSoup, Feedparser etc. It also provides
Frameworks such as Django, Pyramid, Flask etc to design and delelop
web based applications.
Some important developments are: PythonWikiEngines, Pocoo,

PythonBlogSoftware etc.
2) Desktop GUI Applications
Python provides Tk GUI library to develop user interface in python based
application. Some other useful toolkits wxWidgets, Kivy, pyqt that are
useable on several platforms. The Kivy is popular for writing multitouch
applications.
3) Software Development
Python is helpful for software development process. It works as a
support language and can be used for build control and management,
testing etc.
4) Scientific and Numeric

Python is popular and widely used in scientific and numeric computing.
Some useful library and package are SciPy, Pandas, IPython etc. SciPy is
group of packages of engineering, science and mathematics.
5) Business Applications
Python is used to build Bussiness applications like ERP and e-commerce
systems. Tryton is a high level application platform.
6) Console Based Application

We can use Python to develop console based applications. For
example: IPython.
7) Audio or Video based Applications

Python is awesome to perform multiple tasks and can be used to
develop multimedia applications. Some of real applications are:
TimPlayer, cplay etc.
8) 3D CAD Applications
To create CAD application Fandango is a real application which provides
full features of CAD.
9) Enterprise Applications
Python can be used to create applications which can be used within an
Enterprise or an Organization. Some real time applications are:
OpenErp, Tryton, Picalo etc.
10) Applications for Images

Using Python several application can be developed for image.
Applications developed are: VPython, Gogh, imgSeek etc.
