PREFACE
It is our proud privilege and duty to acknowledge the kind of help and guidance received from
several people in preparation of this report. It would not have been possible to prepare this
report in this form without their valuable help, cooperation and guidance.
First and foremost, we wish to record our sincere gratitude to Prof., Mr JOGINDER for his constant
support and encouragement in preparation of this report and for making available library and
laboratory facilities needed to prepare this report.
The seminar on “Python” was very helpful to us in giving the necessary background information and
inspiration in choosing this topic for the seminar. Their contributions and technical support in
preparing this report are greatly acknowledged.
Last but not the least, we wish to thank our parents for financing our studies in this college as
well as for constantly encouraging us to learn engineering. Their personal sacrifice in providing
this opportunity to learn engineering is gratefully acknowledgement.

Scripting Language
A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for
a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be
executed one-by-one by a human operator.
Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the
elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex
programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications,
web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as
well as numerous games.
In OO programming, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that interact
with one another. There is significant diversity in objectoriented programming, but most popular
languages are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes, which typically also
determines their type.
History
Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation was started in December 1989
by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language (itself
inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating
system. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing central role in deciding the
direction of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the Python community, benevolent
dictator for life (BDFL).
“Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers
need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code;
too little and expressiveness is endangered.”
If you don’t already have a copy of Python installed on your computer, you will need to open up
your Internet browser and go to the Python download page
(http://www.python.org/download/).
Now that you are on the download page, select which of the software builds you would like to
download. For the purposes of this article we will use the most up to date version available
(Python 3.4.1).
Once you have clicked on that, you will be taken to a page with a description of all the new
updates and features of 3.4.1, however, you can always read that while the download is in
process. Scroll to the bottom of the page till you find the “Download” section and click on the link
that says “download page.”
Now you will scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and find the “Windows x86
MSI installer.” If you want to download the 86-64 bit MSI, feel free to do so. We
believe that even if you have a 64-bit operating system installed on your computer,
the 86-bit MSI is preferable. We say this because it will still run well and sometimes,
with the 64- bit architectures, some of the compiled binaries and Python libraries
don’t work well.
Installing Python
Once you have downloaded the Python MSI, simply navigate to the download location on
your computer, double clicking the file and pressing Run when the dialog box pops up.
If you are the only person who uses your computer, simply leave the “Install for all
users” option selected. If you have multiple accounts on your PC and don’t want to
install it across all accounts, select the “Install just for me” option then press “Next.”
Setup the Path Variable
Begin by opening the start menu and typing in “environment” and select the option called
Once you have the “Environment Variables” window open, direct your focus to the
bottom half. You will notice that it controls all the “System Variables” rather than just
this associated with your user. Click on “New…” to create a new variable for Python.
Running The Python IDE
Now that we have successfully completed the installation process and added our
“Environment Variable,” you are ready to create your first basic Python script. Let’s
begin by opening Python’s GUI by pressing “Start” and typing “Python” and selecting the
“IDLE (Python GUI).”
Once the GUI is open, we will begin by using the simplest directive possible. This is the
“print” directive which simply prints whatever you tell it to, into a new line. Start by
typing a print directive like the one shown in the image below or copy and paste this
text then press
(this is called dynamic typing). Data types determine whether an object can do something, or
whether it just would not make sense. Other programming languages often determine whether
an operation makes sense for an object by making sure the object can never be stored
somewhere where the operation will be performed on the object (this type system is called
static typing). Python does not do that. Instead it stores the type of an object with the object,
and checks when the operation is performed whether that operation makes sense for that
object
Python has many native data types. Here are the important ones:
Numbers can be integers (1 and 2), floats (1.1 and 1.2), fractions (1/2 and 2/3), or even
complex numbers.
Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that
when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.
Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides what
can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to
variables, you can store integers, decimals or characters in these variables.
String
In programming terms, we usually call text a string. When you think of a string as a
collection of letters, the term makes sense.
All the letters, numbers, and symbols in this book could be a string.
For that matter, your name could be a string, and so could your
address.
List
The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be written as a list of comma-
separated values (items) between square brackets. Important thing about a list is that items in a
list need not be of the same type.
Similar to string indices, list indices start at 0, and lists can be sliced, concatenated and so on.
list2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]
Basic List Operation index "list1[0]: ", list1[0] print "list2[1:5]: ", list2[1:5]

Loop definition
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated execution
paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times. The
following diagram illustrates a loop statement −
Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping requirements.
while loop Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition
is TRUE. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or
do..while loop.
Loop Example:
For Loop:
>>> for mynum in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:
Hello 1
Hello 2
Hello 3
Hello 4
Hello 5
While Loop:
>>> count = 0 >>while(count< 4):
Decision making is anticipation of conditions occurring while execution of the program and specifying
actions taken according to the conditions.
Python programming language provides following types of decision making statements. Click the
following links to check their detail.
Statement Description
If b>a:
print(“b”)
If...Else Statement:
a=200
b=33
if b>a:
print(“b is greater than a”)
else:
print(“a is greater than b”)

• It's portable o Python runs virtually every major platform used today
o As long as you have a compatible Python interpreter installed,
Python programs will run in exactly the same manner, irrespective of

Conclusion
I believe the trial has shown conclusively that it is both possible and desirable to use Python
as the principal teaching language:
