and Python Basics

Dr. Yadvendra Pratap Singh


Assistant Professor (Senior Scale)

Question ??
• What is need of language?
• What is need of Programming Language?
• How language is developed?
• What is the low level language, middle level language
and High level language?
• Structured programming language and Object
Oriented Programming language?
Introduction (CO1)

What is Python Language?


• Python is a high-level general-purpose, interpreted, interactive,
object-oriented and reliable language having wide range of
applications from Web development, scientific and
mathematical computing to desktop graphical user Interfaces.

• The syntax of the language is clean, and length of the code is


relatively short.

• It allows to think about the problem rather than focusing on the


syntax.

A Brief History of Python (CO1)

• Guido Van Rossum was doing its application-based work in


December of 1989 at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)
which is situated in Netherland.
• It was started firstly as a hobby project because he was looking
for an interesting project to keep him occupied during Christmas.

A Brief History of Python Cont…(CO1)

• The programming language which Python is said to have


succeeded is ABC Programming Language.
• He had already helped to create ABC earlier in his career and he
had seen some issues with ABC but liked most of the features.
• After that what he did as very clever. He had taken the syntax of
ABC, and some of its good features.

• It came with a lot of complaints too, so he fixed those issues


completely and had created a good scripting language which had
removed all the flaws.
• The inspiration for the name came from BBC’s TV Show – ‘Monty
Python’s Flying Circus’, as he was a big fan of the TV show and also he
wanted a short, unique and slightly mysterious name for his invention
and hence he named it Python!

A Brief History of Python Cont… (CO1)

• The language was finally released in 1991.


• When it was released, it used a lot fewer codes to express the
concepts, when we compare it with Java, C++ & C.
• Its main objective is to provide code readability and advanced
developer productivity.

Features of Python (CO1)

• Object-oriented
– Everything in Python is an object.

– Object oriented programming (OOP) helps to solve a complex problem


intuitively.
– Structure supports such concepts as polymorphism, operation
overloading, and multiple inheritance.

• It supports functional and structured programming methods as


well as OOP.
• It can be used as a scripting language or can be compiled to
byte-code for building large applications.

Features of Python (CO1)

• It supports automatic garbage collection.

• Scalable
– Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than
shell scripting.
• It can be easily integrated with C, C++, COM, ActiveX, CORBA,
and Java.

• Databases
– Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.

Getting Python (CO1)

• The most up-to-date and current source code, binaries,


documentation, news, etc., is available on the official website of
Python
https://www.python.org/

• Python documentation can be downloaded from


https://www.python.org/doc/

The Programming Cycle for Python (CO1)

• Python's development cycle is dramatically shorter than that of


traditional languages.
• In Python, there are no compile or link steps.
• Python programs simply import modules at runtime and use the
objects they contain.
• Python programs run immediately after changes are made.
• And in cases where dynamic module reloading can be used, it's
even possible to change and reload parts of a running program
without stopping it at all.
