Python
Python is a high-level
general purpose programming language. It is created by Guido van Rossum and is
released in 1991.When he began implementing Python, Guido van Rossum was also
reading the published scripts from “Monty Python's Flying Circus”, a BBC comedy
series from the 1970's. Van Rossum thought he needed a name that was short,
unique, and slightly mysterious, so he decided to call the language Python.
Python Advantages
·
Python main advantage is that we don't need to specify the
datatype we use, it automatically select the datatype according to your data.
For example for a number like 10 python will automatically define this as an
integer. So when you write a=10, the python will automatically take
variable (a) as an integer according to the datatype that is stored in (a).
·
Provides have very easy syntax and is easy to learn. For
example to print your name we simply need to write a single line of code "Print('TechGeek')".
·
Python is available for all platforms Windows, Linux and
Mac. So python can be used on any platform you have.
·
No Semicolon;
·
No Curly braces {}
· Python is Vastly used these days so there are many job
openings for Python developers across the globe.
Uses
Python is a general
purpose programming language but python is vastly used for Desktop software development,
web applications, data science and machine learning. Python is also used for
complex numeric and scientific application. Python also provides features for
data analysis and visualization.
Python Installation
- · The best way to install python is by installing the anaconda software because it has many basic libraries of python pre-installed in it and libraries management is easy in anaconda. So I suggest you to use anaconda for python installation.
- You can also download the latest version of python separately by the python official website.

| https://www.python.org/downloads/ |
After downloading from the above link install the Python using the setup file you downloaded. Remember this is only the basic python language without any libraries extension. To install libraries we need to open python and write command pip install and then the name of the library, for example "pip install numpy". That's why I suggest anaconda software because it has many basic libraries pre-installed in it.
Python IDE
I suggest you to use PyCharm IDE by Jet
brains. Its community edition is available for free so you can download and use
it for python scripts for free. It has complete support for python and all its libraries
so PyCharm community edition is be good for beginners. If you want to use the
professional version you can also buy it from the link below. Another advantage of PyCharm is that it is available for all platforms Windows, Linux and Mac.
After downloading PyCharm from above link install it using the setup file you downloaded.
So by following these steps one can setup a platform for Python Development.
