Python Introduction
It is widely used general purpose, high level programming

language. Developed by Guido van Rossum in 1991.
It is used for:
software development,
web development (server-side),
system scripting,
Mathematics.

Features of Python
1. Easy to use – Due to simple syntax rule

2. Interpreted language – Code execution &
interpretation line by line
3. Cross-platform language – It can run on windows,
Linux, Macintosh etc. equally
4. Expressive language – Less code to be written as it
itself express the purpose of the code.
5. Completeness – Support wide rage of library
6. Free & Open Source – Can be downloaded freely
and source code can be modify for improvement

Shortcomings of Python
1. Lesser libraries – as compared to other

programming languages like c++,java,. Net
2. Slow language – as it is interpreted languages, it
executes the program slowly.
3. Weak on Type-binding – It not pin point on use of a
single variable for different data type.

Installing Python
Two Steps Only –
1. Download Python distribution

2. Python installation process

Installing Python
1. Download Python distribution

You can download python distribution from the link given below
https://www.python.org/downloads/
Note – Download only that python distribution/MSI Installer, which is best suited for
the Operating system on which you want to install it.

Installing Python
2. Python installation process

1. Double-click the icon labeling the file <version>.exe
Popup window will appear
Click on Run option

Installing Python
2. Setup popup window will appear
If the Python Installer finds an earlier version of Python installed on your computer,
the Install Now message will instead appear as Upgrade Now(and the checkboxes will
not appear).
Highlight the Install Now (or Upgradefor
Visit : python.mykvs.in Now) message,

How to work in Python
PROCESS OF WRITING PROGRAM

After installation of python ,we can work on it in following ways
(i) in Interactive mode

(ii) in Script mode

(i) in Interactive mode

* Search the python.exe file in the drive in which it is
installed.
If found double click it to start python in interactive
mode

* Click start button -> All programs ->

python<version>->IDLE(Python GUI)

Python command
prompt >>>
Type the following at prompt

print “hello”
print 8*3
print 3**3
k=3+4*3
print k

(ii) in Script mode

Step 1 (Create program file) / Hello world program
Below steps are for simple hello world program
a. Click Start button->All Programs ->
Python<version>->IDLE
b. Now click File->New in IDLE Python Shell
Now type
print (“hello”)
print (“world”)
print (“python is”,”object oriented programming lang.”)
c. Click File->Save and then save the file with filename
and .py extension
(ii) in Script mode

Step 2 (Run program file)
a. Click Open command from IDLE’s File menu and select the file
you have already saved
b. Click Run-> Run Module
c. It will execute all the commands of program file and display
output in separate python shell window
Note :- Python comes in 2 flavors – python 2.x and python 3.x . Later
one is Backward incompatible language as decide by Python
Software foundation(PSF). Mean code written in 2.x will not execute
on 3.x . Visit the below link for difference between 2.x & 3.x
