 Python and MySQL for Beginner

The need to share knowledge and experience on how the Python programming
language could have a positive impact on the learning process led to the
creation of this book focuses on the installation process, use of MySQL for
database connections, and fundamental Python language concepts.

This book offers helpful resources, advice, and examples, especially for
students and anybody else interested in learning the Python programming
language.

The Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) component of an application

employing Python scripts using MySQL is also demonstrated in this book's
sample examples.

This book is intended to assist readers in achieving their goals.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

What is Python Programming?

Interpreted
Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not need
to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL
and PHP. Execution is implemented directly and freely from source
without need to be compiled into machine code or binary format.

Interactive
You can actually sit at a Python prompt and
interact with the interpreter directly to write your
programs.

Object-Oriented
Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique of
programming that encapsulates code within objects.

Beginner’s Language
Python is a great language for the beginner- level
programmers and supports the development of a
wide range of applications from simple text
processing to WWW browsers to games.

Dynamically typed language

It doesn’t know about the type of the variable until the code is run.
So declaration is of no use. What it does is, It stores that value at
some memory location and then binds that variable name to that
memory container.

Python is a high-level programming language that was first released in 1991 by Guido van Rossum.
The language was designed to be easy to read and write, with a focus on code readability. Python's
design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express
concepts in fewer lines of code than languages like C++ or Java.

2
Python and MySQL for Beginner

Basic Principles of Python

Basic Core language

Python is designed so that there really isn’t that much to learn in the basic language. For example, there
is only one basic structure for conditional programming (if/else/elif), two looping commands (while and
for), and a consistent method of handling errors (try/except) which apply to all python programs.

Modules
Self-contained programs which define a variety of functions and data types that you can call in order to
do tasks beyond the scope of the basic core language by using the import command.

Object oriented programming

A basic concept of object oriented programming is encapsulation, the ability to define an object that
contains your data and all the information a program needs to operate on that data. In this way, when
you call a function (known as a method in object-oriented lingo), you don’t need to specify a lot of
details about your data, because your data object ``knows’’ all about itself. In addition, objects can
inherit from other objects, so if you or someone else has designed an object that’s very close to one
you’re interested in, you only have to construct those methods which differ from the existing object,
allowing you to save a lot of work.

Namespace and variable scoping

The same variable name can be used in different parts of a program without fear of destroying the
value of a variable you’re not concerned with.

Exception handling
When you’re performing an operation that might result in an error, you can surround it with a try loop,
and provide an exception clause to tell python what to do when a particular error arises.

Some of the most popular Python libraries and frameworks include:

NumPy, a library for numerical computing
pandas, a library for data manipulation and analysis
scikit-learn, a machine learning library
TensorFlow, a library for deep learning
Django, a web framework
Flask, a micro web framework

sure to check the documentation for any libraries or frameworks you plan to use to ensure that your system meets
their requirements.

8
Python and MySQL for Beginner

Minimum requirements for IDLE installation

IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment) is the default, built-in Python
development environment that comes with Python. The requirements to install and run
IDLE are as follows:
1. Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
2. Python: IDLE is built into Python, so you will need to have Python installed on your
system. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website.
3. Memory: IDLE is a lightweight development environment, so it does not require a large
amount of memory to run.
4. Display: IDLE requires a minimum resolution of 1024x768 or higher.
5. Internet connection: Not required for IDLE installation as it comes with Python
installation itself.
6. Administrator rights: IDLE does not require administrator rights to install or run.
7. A Python environment: IDLE can be used with virtual environments like Anaconda,
venv, virtualenv and pipenv.

As IDLE is already included with the Python installation, there is no need to install it
separately. You just need to open the terminal or command prompt and type python -m
idlelib to open IDLE.

Please note that IDLE is a basic text editor and does not have some of the features of
advanced IDEs like PyCharm, visual studio code, etc. It's best suited for beginners or small
scale projects.

building and managing modern web applications.

Before installing Laragon, here are a few things you should be aware of:
1. System Requirements: Laragon requires Windows 7 or later, and at least 1 GB of RAM.
2. Disk Space: Make sure you have enough disk space to install Laragon and any
projects you plan to work on.
3. Firewall: If you have a firewall enabled, you may need to configure it to allow Laragon
to access the internet and connect to other services.
4. Anti-virus: Some anti-virus software may interfere with the installation or operation of
Laragon. Make sure to temporarily disable your anti-virus software before installing
Laragon, and add an exception for it if needed.
5. Existing Installation: If you have an existing web server, PHP, or MySQL installation,
you may need to remove it or reconfigure it before installing Laragon.
6. Backup: It's always a good idea to make a backup of any important files or data before
making any changes to your system, in case something goes wrong during the
installation.
7. Familiarize yourself with the tools: To get the most out of Laragon, it's a good idea to
be familiar with the tools it includes, such as Apache, PHP, and MySQL, so that you can
configure and troubleshoot them as needed.

By following these steps, it should make the installation process of Laragon smoother and

Requirement mysql.connector installation into database.

MySQL is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) whereas the structured Query
Language (SQL) is the language used for handling the RDBMS using commands i.e Creating,
Inserting, Updating and Deleting the data from the databases. SQL commands are case
insensitive i.e CREATE and create signify the same command.

MySQL Connector/Python enables Python programs to access MySQL databases, using an API
that is compliant with the Python Database API Specification v2.0 (PEP 249). It is written in pure
Python and does not have any dependencies except for the Python Standard Library.

Basic Python keywords do you need to know.

connect: to make a connection to the database, all credentials

such as username, server name, server password and database
name need to be specified.
