It will become a preferred programming language with developers too. Quite obviously, job openings in Python will also increase in the industry. In such a situation, it becomes inevitable to <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/blog\/the-best-python-online-course-for-beginners\/\">learn Python<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Various kinds of tutorials and training programmes are now available online, with which you can develop a basic idea about Python.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Understanding What is Python<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While going through a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/postgraduate-program-in-data-science-analytics\/\">Python tutorial<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the first thing that you will learn is what is Python in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Python is a general-purpose, object-oriented, but a high-purpose programming language. Along with web development, you can use this programming language for other kinds of programming and software development. Mentioned below are some development areas where Python is really helpful:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software development and desktop app<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing system scripts (instructions for telling the computer to \u201cdo\u201d something)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile app development and back-end web<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing mathematical computations and processing big data<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of beginners in the programming and development field now prefer learning Python as their first programming language because of its versatility and simplicity. The Python community is also quite strong and supportive and keeps up with increased popularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting Started with Python<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a newbie to programming with no knowledge of algorithms or coding, do not worry. You will have no problems learning Python as the programming language comes with a simple and easy-to-use syntax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the very beginning of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/postgraduate-program-in-data-science-analytics\/\"><b>Python training<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we will learn how to install Python and run it on systems. The majority of Mac and Linux systems have Python pre-installed in them. However, it is important to check if the latest version is present or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Running Python by using Thonny IDE<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the easiest way of running Python as Thonny IDE comes with the latest and updated version of the language packaged in it. You, therefore, need not install Python separately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Running Python without Thonny IDE<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You can also install and run Python on your system without using Thonny IDE by following the steps below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download Python\u2019s latest version<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, run the provided installer file. You have to keep on following the steps as they instruct you to install Python. During the process of installation, check on \u2018<\/span><b>Add Python to Environment Variables<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019. With this feature, you will be able to run Python from any segment of the system\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have the option of choosing the path where Python will be installed in the system<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On completion of the installation process, you can run Python<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Running Python<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can run Python in different ways. We will discuss them below:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Running Python in Immediate Mode<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you install Python, in the command line type \u2018python\u2019. You will notice that the interpreter will invoke in immediate mode. You can type in Python code directly. You have to press Enter to get output.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, try typing \u20181+1\u2019. Now press Enter. You will get \u20182\u2019 as output. For exiting the mode, type \u2018quit ()\u2019 followed by pressing Enter.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Running Python in Integrated Development Environment (IDE)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For writing a Python script file, you can use any text editing software. You have to save it with a \u2018.py\u2019 extension. With the use of IDE, coding becomes easier and more convenient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IDE is a piece of software that offers useful features to the programmer for application development. The features include syntax checking and highlighting, code hinting, file explorers, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mandatory Tools for Python Development<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start learning Python, you must choose an IDE and set it up. You will write all your Python code here. You can choose an IDE independently and install it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Test Runner<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are a beginner, you would want to learn the basics of the language and not be much interested in testing. But, test running is important to ensure that all elements of the program are working properly. In Python, developers use Nose, Unit Test, or Pytest frameworks\/libraries for testing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Debugger<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-coding, bugs will be there. But, the important thing is to identify them as soon as possible and resolve them. There are many debuggers, which you can use in Python.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/postgraduate-program-in-data-science-analytics\/\">Learning Python online<\/a><\/strong> is the most convenient thing. You can also join a <strong>Python class at Imarticus Learning<\/strong> to hone your skills in the programming language.
