It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site, and may be freely distributed.
The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation. The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the Python language and system. The Glossary is also worth going through. Learn Python The Hard Way, 2nd Edition — Learn Python The Hard Way, 2nd Edition. 3. An Informal Introduction to Python. In the following examples, input and output are distinguished by the presence or absence of prompts (>>> and ...): to repeat the example, you must type everything after the prompt, when the prompt appears; lines that do not begin with a prompt are output from the interpreter.
Note that a secondary prompt on a line by itself in an example means you must type a blank line; this is used to end a multi-line command. Many of the examples in this manual, even those entered at the interactive prompt, include comments. Comments in Python start with the hash character, #, and extend to the end of the physical line. A comment may appear at the start of a line or following whitespace or code, but not within a string literal. A hash character within a string literal is just a hash character. Let’s try some simple Python commands. 3.1.1. The interpreter acts as a simple calculator: you can type an expression at it and it will write the value.
>>> width = 20>>> height = 5 * 9>>> width * height900. The Python Language Reference — Python v3.3.0 documentation. The Python Tutorial — Python v3.3.0 documentation. Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language.
