What is Python
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level
programming language with dynamic semantics. Its
high-level built in data structures, combined with
dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very
attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well
as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect
existing components together. Python's simple, easy to
learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore
reduces the cost of program maintenance.
History
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
Circus’, this is a famous TV show in Netherlands
Named after Monty Python
Open sourced from the beginning

a high level of abstraction.
Why was python created?
"My original motivation for creating Python was the
perceived need for a higher level language in the
Amoeba [Operating Systems] project. I realized that
the development of system administration utilities in
C was taking too long. Moreover, doing these things
in the Bourne shell wouldn't work for a variety of
reasons. ... So, there was a need for a language that
would bridge the gap between C and the shell” -
Guido Van Rossum

 Interactive front-end for FORTRAN/C/C++ code
How to Install Python
(Environment Set-up)
In order to become Python developer, the first step is to
learn how to install or update Python on a local machine
or computer. In this tutorial, we will discuss the
installation of Python on various operating systems.
Installation on Windows
Installation on Mac
Visit the link https://www.python.org/downloads/ to download the
latest release of Python. When we click on the above link, it will bring
us the following page.
Step - 1: Select the Python's version to download.
Step - 2: Click on the Install Now
Double-click the executable file, which is downloaded; the following
window will open. Select Customize installation and proceed. Click on
the Add Path check box, it will set the Python path automatically.
Step - 3 Installation in Process
Now, try to run python on the command prompt. Type the
command python -version in case of python3.
Installation on Mac
1. Checking python's version on the system
We can check which version of the Python is currently installed on
our system. Generally, Python 2.7 is installed by default.
It shows Python 2.7.10 is installed on the computer which is

quite often.
Installation on Mac
2) Download Python 3.6.3
In order to install Python 3.6.3, we must download the latest
version from its official website
https://www.python.org/downloads/. The file is downloaded
in .pkg format which can be directly installed by using
Installer command.
3) Install Python 3.6.3
Since the downloaded file already is in .pkg format hence no
mounting is required and We can use installer command to
install Python 3.6.3.
Installation on Mac
Let's see how can we do it.
Since The installer is used with super user permissions hence

sudo forces terminal to prompt the user to fill the admin
password. The process installs the Python 3.6.3 to the root
directory which is mentioned with the target option.
Installation on Mac
4) Verify Python3
To check which Python version is installed on the machine, we can
use python -version command. Since by default installed version
is Python 2.7.10 hence it shows python 2.7.10. but it gives us
flexibility to check the version of Python 3 on our computer.
Let's see how can we use python 3 to check which version of
python 3 is running.
$ python -version
Installation on Mac
5) Working on Python's script mode
To work on Python command line, we simply type python3 on the
terminal. Python shell open where we can run Python
statements such as print statements as we did here.
To run a Python file (.py) on the terminal, we simply type the file
name and the file will be interpreted.
Well, we have installed Python3 on our MacOS.
Hello World: Create your First
Python Program
Creating First Program
Step 1) Open PyCharm Editor. You can see the introductory screen
for PyCharm. To create a new project, click on “Create New
Project”.
Python Program
Step 2) You will need to select a location.
You can select the location where you want the project to
be created. If you don’t want to change location than keep
it as it is but at least change the name from “untitled” to
something more meaningful, like “FirstProject”.
PyCharm should have found the Python interpreter you
installed earlier.
Next Click the “Create” Button.
Python Program
Python Program
Step 3) Now Go up to the “File” menu and select “New”. Next,

select “Python File”.
Python Program
Step 4) A new pop up will appear. Now type the name of the file
you want (Here we give “HelloWorld”) and hit “OK”.
Python Program
Step 5) Now type a simple program – print (‘Hello World!’).

Python Program
Step 6) Now Go up to the “Run” menu and select “Run” to run

your program.
Python Program
Step 7) You can see the output of your program at the bottom of
the screen.
Python Program
Step 8) Don’t worry if you don’t have Pycharm Editor installed,

you can still run the code from the command prompt. Enter the
correct path of a file in command prompt to run the program.
Python Program
The output of the code would be
Step 9) If you are still not able to run the program, we have
Python Editor for you.
Applications of Python
GUI based desktop applications
Graphic design, image processing applications, Games, and
Scientific/ computational Applications
Web frameworks and applications
Enterprise and Business applications
Operating Systems
Education
Database Access
Language Development
Software Development
What are the top Python IDEs?
1. Spyder
2. PyCharm
3. Thonny
4. Atom
5. Jupyter
6. Komodo
7. Wingware
Advantages of Python
Presence of third-party modules
Extensive support libraries(NumPy for numerical calculations,
Pandas for data analytics etc)
Open source and community development
Versatile, Easy to read, learn and write
User-friendly data structures
High-level language
Dynamically typed language(No need to mention data type based
on the value assigned, it takes data type)
Object-oriented language
Disadvantages of Python
Lack of Standardized Design Patterns
No Built-In Database Management System
Not Well Suited For Large Applications
Poor Security Features
Weak in Mobile Computing
Trouble in Using Other Languages
Gets Slow in Speed
Conclusion
In conclusion, Python is a popular

programming language. It's used for
many things like web development, data
science and scientific computing. It's easy
to learn and has many resources available
