Aim
The aim of this practical is to install the Python programming language, set up an
appropriate Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and write and execute a basic
Python program to display a welcome message.
Introduction
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and
readability. It is widely used in areas such as web development, data science, artificial
intelligence, automation, and software development. Before starting programming in
Python, it is essential to properly install the Python interpreter and configure an IDE for
writing and executing programs.
Software and Hardware Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10 / Windows 11
- Python Version: Python 3.x
- IDE: IDLE / PyCharm / Visual Studio Code
- Internet Connection
- Minimum 4 GB RAM
Methodology
Step 1: Selection of Task
The task of Python installation and IDE demonstration was selected as it forms the
foundation of Python programming.
Step 2: Initial Research
Basic research was conducted on Python, its features, applications, and available IDEs.
Step 3: Planning
The work was planned step-by-step including downloading Python, installing it, configuring
the IDE, and writing the first program.
Step 4: Skill Preparation
Basic computer and programming concepts were revised to ensure smooth execution.
Python Installation Procedure
1. Open a web browser and visit the official Python website.
2. Download the latest Python 3 version.
3. Run the installer.
4. Select 'Add Python to PATH'.
5. Click on 'Install Now'.
6. Verify installation using Command Prompt with 'python --version'.
IDE Setup
IDLE:
IDLE is installed automatically with Python and is suitable for beginners.
PyCharm:
PyCharm Community Edition was installed and configured with the Python interpreter.
Visual Studio Code:
VS Code was installed along with the Python extension and interpreter configuration.
Program Code and Output
Program:
print("Welcome")
Output:
Welcome
Testing and Documentation
The program was executed successfully. Screenshots of installation, IDE setup, and output
were captured. A short demonstration video was also recorded.
Result
Python was successfully installed, the IDE was configured correctly, and the first Python
program executed without errors.
Conclusion
This practical provided hands-on experience in installing Python, setting up an IDE, and
executing basic programs. It helped build confidence and a strong foundation for further
learning.
Future Scope
Python can be further used to learn advanced topics such as data analysis, machine
learning, web development, and automation.
