INTRODUCTION TO
PYTHON
INTRODUCTION
What is Python?
- Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level
programming language with dynamic semantics. It was
created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.
It is used for:
• web development (server-side),
• software development,
• mathematics,
• system scripting.
INTRODUCTION
What can Python do?
• Python can be used on a server to create web
applications.
• Python can be used alongside software to create
workflows.
• Python can connect to database systems. It can also
read and modify files.
• Python can be used to handle big data and perform
complex mathematics.
• Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for
INTRODUCTION
Why Python?
• Python works on different platforms (Windows,
Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
• Python has a simple syntax similar to the
English language.
• Python has syntax that allows developers to
write programs with fewer lines than some
other programming languages.
INTRODUCTION
Why Python?
• Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning
that code can be executed as soon as it is
written. This means that prototyping can be
very quick.
• Python can be treated in a procedural way, an
object-oriented way or a functional way.
TIMELINE
198 Python laid its foundation in the late 1980s.
0
The implementation of Python was started in
198 December 1989 by Guido Van Rossum at CWI in
9 Netherland.
In February 1991, Guido Van Rossum published
199
the code (labeled version 0.9.0) to [Link].
1
In 1994, Python 1.0 was released with new
199
features like lambda, map, filter, and reduce.

October 2000, Python 2.0 was introduced. This
release included list comprehensions, a full
200
garbage collector and it was supporting
0 Unicode.
On December 3, 2008, Python 3.0 (also called
200 "Py3K") was released. It was designed to rectify
8 the fundamental flaw of the language.

Step - 1: Select the Python's version to download.
Click on the download button.
Step - 2: Click on the Install Now
Double-click the executable file, which is downloaded; the following window will
open. Select Customize installation and proceed. Click on the Add Path check
box, it will set the Python path automatically.
Step - 3 Installation in Process
On clicking the Install Now, The installation process starts.
The installation process will take few minutes to complete and once the
installation is successful, the following screen is displayed.
Step 4 − Verify Python is installed on Windows
To ensure if Python is successfully installed on your system. Follow the given
steps:
1. Open the command prompt.
2. Type ‘python’ and press enter.
3. The version of the python which you have installed will be displayed if the
python is successfully installed on your windows.
Step 5 − Verify Pip was installed
Pip is a powerful package management system for Python software packages. Thus,
make sure that you have it installed. To verify if pip was installed, follow the given steps:
1. Open the command prompt.
2. Enter pip –V to check if pip was installed.
3. The following output appears if pip is installed successfully.
We have successfully installed python and pip on our Windows system.
