Python Programming for Beginners

A concise reference guide for developers and students.

Published 2025 | Open Knowledge Series


What is Python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its clear syntax and
readability. Created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, it has become one of the most popular
languages for web development, data science, automation, and more.
Variables and Data Types

Python supports several built-in data types:


name = 'Alice' # string
age = 30 # integer
height = 5.9 # float
active = True # boolean
items = [1, 2, 3] # list
info = {'key': 'val'}# dict
Control Flow

Control program execution with conditionals and loops:


if x > 0:
print('positive')
elif x < 0:
print('negative')
else:
print('zero')

for i in range(10):
print(i)

while condition:
do_something()
Functions

Functions encapsulate reusable code blocks:


def greet(name, greeting='Hello'):
return f'{greeting}, {name}!'

result = greet('Alice')
print(result) # Hello, Alice!
Lists and Dictionaries

Lists store ordered collections. Dictionaries store key-value pairs.


fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
[Link]('date')
[Link]()

person = {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 25}


person['email'] = 'bob@[Link]'
print([Link]('name'))
Error Handling

Handle errors gracefully with try/except blocks:


try:
result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
print(f'Error: {e}')
finally:
print('Always runs')
