What's Python & Why Python?
Python
Python is a powerful high-level object-oriented and dynamic computer programming language. It was first designed by Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum in 1980 and first published in February 1991.Originally from the 1980, when Guido van Rossum was working with the Ameba Distributed Operating Systems Group. He then wanted to use an interpreted language like ABC (note: ABC is a computer language whose syntax is very simple and understandable) that can access amoeba system calls. So he decided to create a new language that would be expandable. A new language was started based on it and later it was named Python.The structure of the Python language is as unique as its style of expression. This excellent language is currently being used everywhere - web, desktop, mobile, system administration, scientific computing or machine learning. And so the Python programming language has won the hearts of many computer programmers and software developers.
Why the name Python?
Originally from the 1970, Van Rasmus was a huge fan of the BBC's "Monty Python's Flying Circus" comedy series. And in keeping with that, he named it Python.
What can be done with Python Programming Language?
Python can be your first choice platform if you want to work with data science and machine learning, above all the most talked about and future technology based, and above all artificial intelligence. Because, machine learning libraries like scikit-learn, data frame libraries like Pandas, calculation libraries like Numpy which are unique in one word - all these are there for Python.More specifically, based on Python - Django, Flask, Tornado, etc. You can easily develop web applications through such frameworks.
Again for software development rich in desktop or graphical user interface based on Python language for you there is a toolkit like PyQT or package like Tkinter for you. There are also libraries like Kivy.
And if you want to develop games, PyGame is for you.
If you want to work with Internet of Things (IoT), you have raspberrypi, or RPi.GPIO. Hardware platforms like this.
Various sites such as Mozilla, Reddit, Instagram, PBS, Dropbox, Google Search Engine, etc. Web applications written with Python.
What do I need to know before learning Python?
How do I install and run Python?
Python is called Cross Platform Language, which means you can easily run it on Windows, Linux and Mac os X operating system. Here I will show you a simple way to run Python on your own computer (Windows Operating system).
Installing and running Python on Windows.
The first step is to install Python
Second step to install Python
Once the Python installation is complete, a program called IDLE will be installed along with it. This is basically a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with which you can run Python code.
Open IDLE and copy the code below and press Enter.
"
print ("Hello, World!")
"
With IDLE GUI, you can save python code to a separate file and run it. For this you need to go to File New File in IDLE GUI and open a new file and save the new file with .py extension, just like below:
Now paste the following code in the file with your .py extension.
"
Print ("Hello Python!")
"
Then press F5 or click on Run Module. Just like the following:
You will now see the following results:
