R UREHDYTO PYTHON*

DO.* WHY PYTHON* THE ENVIRONMENT (PART 1 & 2)* PYTHON 101* CONTROL STRUCTURES* A REAL PROGRAM

WHY* CODE IN PYTHON

EASY TO UNDERSTANDCONCISE SYNTAXMULTI-PURPOSE STRENGTH OF PYTHON

GOOGLE-ABLE!WELL SUPPORTED LIBSFAST TO DELIVER STRENGTH OF PYTHON

ENV*PYTHON ENVIRONMENT (PART 1)

# Python interactive shell$ python

# Python interactive shell # (on steroid!)$ pip install ipython$ ipython

# QUIZ: What version of python # are you currently using?

ENV* - EASIEST WAY TO PYTHON

101*PYTHON - DATA TYPES

# DECLARE-LESS TYPED>>> a = 1>>> print a1>>> type(a)<type 'int'>

101* - DATA TYPES

# MORE TYPES - '' and "">>> b = 'a'>>> c = 'abc'>>> d = "abc"# QUIZ: WHAT DATA TYPES ARE b, c and d?>>> type(b)>>> type(c)>>> type(d)101* - DATA TYPES

# MORE TYPES# bool, NoneType, float, long>>> e = True>>> f = False>>> g = None>>> h = 1.0>>> i = 1L# QUIZ: WHAT IS None?

101* - DATA TYPES

101*PYTHON - COLLECTIONS

# COLLECTION 1: LIST>>> a = [1, 2, 3]>>> b = list()>>> b.append(1)>>> b.append(2)>>> b.append(3)# QUIZ: How do we retrieve the value?# QUIZ: Is a and b same?

101* - DATA TYPES

# SAME - EQUALITY or IDENTITY?>>> a == bTrue>>> a is bFalse

# QUIZ: WHAT IS THE DIFF # BETWEEN == AND is

101* - DATA TYPES

# COLLECTION 2 - TUPLE>>> c = (1, 2, 3)>>> d = 1, 2, 3

# QUIZ: SO AGAIN, IS c SAME with d?

101* - DATA TYPES

# COLLECTION 3: dict>>> e = {1: 11, 2: 22}>>> e[1]>>> e[2]

# QUIZ: IS THIS AN array?# QUIZ: MUST THE key BE int?

101* - DATA TYPES

# COLLECTION 4: set>>> f = set()>>> f.add(1)>>> f.add(2)>>> f.add(3)

# QUIZ: WHAT IS THE DIFF # BETWEEN list AND set?

101* - DATA TYPES

101*PYTHON - CONTROL STRUCTURES

101* - DATA TYPES

# if, else, elif>>> a = 2>>> if a == 1:... print "hello"... elif a == 2:... print "world"

>>>

101* - DATA TYPES

# if, else, elif CONTINUES>>> a = 1>>> if a == 1:... print "hello"... else:... print "world"

>>>

101* - DATA TYPES

# for LOOP>>> for i in [1, 2, 3]:... print i

>>> for j in range(1,3):... print j

# QUIZ: WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN print j

101* - DATA TYPES

# for LOOP>>> for i in (1, 2, 3):... print i

>>> for k,v in {1: 11, 2: 22}.iteritems():... print k, v

# QUIZ: WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN print k, v

101* - DATA TYPES

# list comprehension>>> a = [1,2,3,4,5]>>> b = [i+1 for i in a]

# QUIZ: WHAT IS THE VALUE OF b?

101* - DATA TYPES

# list comprehension>>> a = [1,2,3,4,5]>>> b = [i for i in a if i % 2 == 0]

# QUIZ: WHAT IS THE VALUE OF b?

ENV*PYTHON ENVIRONMENT (PART 2)

pip∗ Package management system used to install and

manage software packages written in Python∗ Why?

Easy package installations, updating, configuring and removals with a single command

∗ Over 86,000 Python packages can be accessed through PyPI

∗ Sample commands:$ pip install flask$ pip uninstall flask

python packages∗ Mathematical Analytics: Numpy∗ DB Connectors: MySQL, MongoDB,

PostgreSQL, etc.∗ Web Frameworks: Pyramid, Django∗ Twitter API client∗ Many more…“It’s like Swiss-army toolchain”

virtualenv∗ Is an isolated working copy of Python which allows

you to work on a specific project without worry of affecting other projects

∗ Why?We might wants to maintain the package version (prefer not upgrading it to newer version)

“Do not fix things that aren’t broken”

PROG*A REAL PROGRAM, NOW

flask∗ Flask is a micro web framework written in Python∗ Micro framework means it does not require

particular tools or libraries and it just works

∗ Suitable for minimal website or a full featured website

∗ Many extensions freely available:User authenticationsFlask-SecurityFile UploadsDatabase

Let’s get hand dirty

∗ “Hello World!”

PROG* - HELLO WORLD!

# INSTALL FLASK MODULE$ pip install flask

# QUIZ: WHAT DO YOU SEE IN RESULT# OF THE ABOVE COMMAND
