GETTING STARTED WITH

PYTHON ….

INTRODUCTION:
The word python isn’t it scary? Does it bring the image of big
reptile that we prefer to see either in jungles or zoo? Well, it’s
time to change the image. Now on, you’ll remember the word
python for its playfulness and pleasant productivity.
Python programming language was developed by Guido Van Rossum
in February 1991. Python is based on or influenced with two
programming languages:

 ABC language, a teaching language created as a replacement

of BASIC, and
 Modula-3

Python is an easy–to-learn yet powerful object-oriented

programming language. It is a very high-level programming
language yet as powerful as many other middle-level not so high-
level languages like C, C++, Java etc.
PYTHON – PLUSES:

Though Python language came into being in early 1990’s, yet it

is competing with ever-popular languages such as C, C++, Java
etc.in popularity index.

1. Easy to use: Python is compact and very easy to use object-

oriented language with very simple syntax rules. It is a very
high-level language and thus very-very programmer- friendly.
2. Expressive language: python is an expressive language- fewer
lines of code and simpler syntax.
3. Interpreted language: Python is an interpreted language, not
a compiled language. It makes Python an easy-to-debug
language and thus suitable for beginners to advanced users.
4. Completeness: For most types of required functionality is
available through various modules of python standard library.
5. Cross-platform Language: Python can run equally well on
platforms – Windows, Linux/UNIX, MacIntosh,
supercomputers, smartphones etc.
6. Free and Open-Source: Python is freely available with its
source code.
7. Variety of usage/applications: Python is being used in many
diverse fields/applications, some of which are:
 Scripting
 Web applications
 Game development etc.
PYTHON- SOME MINUSES:

1. Not the Fastest language: Python is an interpreted language

not a fully compiled one. Fully compiled languages are
faster than their interpreted counterparts. So, Python
offers faster development times but execution-times are
not that fast compared to some compiled languages.
2. Lesser Libraries than Java, C, Perl: Libraries still not
competent with languages like Java, C, Perl which in some
cases offers better and multiple solution.
3. Not Strong on Type-binding: Python interpreter is not
strong in catching ‘Typing-mismatch' issue.
4. Not easily convertible: Due to lack of syntax, python is
easy to learn but it has disadvantage too during translation
of program into other programming language.
