Introduction
PYTHON
1
History Of Python
Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in the late eighties and early nineties at the
National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands.
Python is derived from many other languages, including ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Algol-68,
SmallTalk,and Unix shell and other scripting languages.
Python is copyrighted. Like Perl, Python source code is now available under the GNU General
Public License (GPL).
Python is now maintained by a core development team at the institute, although Guido van
Rossum still holds a vital role in directing its progress.

Python Features
Easy-to-learn: Python has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax. This
allows the student to pick up the language quickly.
Easy-to-read: Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.
Easy-to-maintain: Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.
A broad standard library: Python's bulk of the library is very portable and cross-platform
compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.
Interactive Mode: Python has support for an interactive mode which allows interactive testing
and debugging of snippets of code.
Portable: Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on
all platforms.
Extendable: You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules enable
programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more efficient.
Databases: Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.
GUI Programming: Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many
system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X
Window system of Unix.
Scalable: Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.

operators
// Floor Division - The division of operands where 9//2 = 4 and 9.0//2.0 = 4.0,
the result is the quotient in which the digits after -11//3 = -4, -11.0//3 = -4.0
the decimal point are removed. But if one of the
operands is negative, the result is floored, i.e.,
rounded away from zero (towards negative
infinity):
ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR

operand + b into c
+= Add AND It adds right operand to the left operand and assign c += a is equivalent to c =
the result to left operand c+a
-= Subtract AND It subtracts right operand from the left operand and c -= a is equivalent to c = c
assign the result to left operand -a
*= Multiply AND It multiplies right operand with the left operand c *= a is equivalent to c =
and assign the result to left operand c*a
/= Divide AND It divides left operand with the right operand and c /= a is equivalent to c = c
assign the result to left operand / ac /= a is equivalent to c

Complement 0011 in 2's complement
form due to a signed
binary number.
<< Binary Left Shift The left operands value is moved left by the a << 2 = 240 (means 1111
number of bits specified by the right operand. 0000)

List
The list is a mo
values (items) st versatile data type available in Python which can be written as a list of comma-separated
the same type between square brackets. Important thing about a list is that items in a list need not be of
.
Creating a list
example − is as simple as putting different comma-separated values between square brackets. For
list1 = ['physics
list2 = [1, 2, 3, ', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000];
1
cmp(list1, list2)
Compares elements of both lists.
2 len(list)
Gives the total length of the list.
3
max(list)
Returns item from the list with max value.
4 min(list)
Returns item from the list with min value.
5
list(seq)
Converts a tuple into list.
1 list.append(obj)
Appends object obj to list
2 list.count(obj)
Returns count of how many times obj occurs in list
3 list. extend(seq)
Appends the contents of seq to list
4 list.index(obj)
Returns the lowest index in list that obj appears
5 list.insert(index, obj)
Inserts object obj into list at offset index
11
6 list.pop(obj=list[-1])
Removes and returns last object or obj from list
7 list.remove(obj)
Removes object obj from list
8 list.reverse()
Reverses objects of list in place
9 list.sort([func])
Sorts objects of list, use compare function if given
12
Tuples
A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. Tuples are sequences, just like lists. The differences
between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists and tuples use parentheses, whereas
lists use square brackets.
Creating a tuple is as simple as putting different comma-separated values. Optionally we can put these
comma-separated values between parentheses also. For example −
tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 );
tup3 = "a", "b", "c", "d";
tup1 = ();
To write a tuple containing a single value you have to include a comma, even though there is only one
value −
tup1 = (50,);
Like string indices, tuple indices start at 0, and they can be sliced, concatenated, and so on.
13
tup1 = ('physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000);
tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 );
tup1[0]: physics
tup2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]
Updating Tuples:
Tuples are immutable which means you cannot update or change the values of tuple elements. We are
able to take portions of existing tuples to create new tuples as the following example demonstrates −
Removing individual tuple elements is not possible. There is, of course, nothing wrong with putting
together another tuple with the undesired elements discarded.
To explicitly remove an entire tuple, just use the del statement. For example:
print tup
14
Basic Tuples Operations:
15
Dictionary
Each key is separated from its value by a colon (:), the items are separated by commas, and the whole
thing is enclosed in curly braces. An empty dictionary without any items is written with just two curly
braces, like this: {}.
Keys are unique within a dictionary while values may not be. The values of a dictionary can be of any
type, but the keys must be of an immutable data type such as strings, numbers, or tuples.
To access dictionary elements, you can use the familiar square brackets along with the key to obtain its
value. Following is a simple example −
Result –
dict['Name']: Zara
dict['Age']: 7
Updating Dictionary
We can update a dictionary by adding a new entry or a key-value pair, modifying an existing entry, or
deleting an existing entry as shown below in the simple example −
Result −
dict['Age']: 8
16
dict['School']: DPS School
Delete Dictionary Elements
We can either remove individual dictionary elements or clear the entire contents of a dictionary. You can
also delete entire dictionary in a single operation.
To explicitly remove an entire dictionary, just use the del statement. Following is a simple example –
1 cmp(dict1, dict2)
Compares elements of both dict.
2 len(dict)
Gives the total length of the dictionary. This would be equal to the number of items in the
dictionary.
3 str(dict)
Produces a printable string representation of a dictionary
4 type(variable)
Returns the type of the passed variable. If passed variable is dictionary, then it would return
a dictionary type.
17
SN Methods with Description
3 dict.fromkeys():Create a new dictionary with keys from seq and values set to value.
4 dict.get(key, default=None):For key key, returns value or default if key not in dictionary
18
FUNCTIONS IN PYTHON
A function is a block of organized, reusable code that is used to perform a single, related action.
Functions provide better modularity for your application and a high degree of code reusing. Python
gives you many built-in functions like print(), etc. but you can also create your own functions. These
functions are called user-defined functions.
DefiningaFunction
Function blocks begin with the keyword def followed by the function name and parentheses ( ( )
).
Any input parameters or arguments should be placed within these parentheses. You can also define
parameters inside these parentheses.
The first statement of a function can be an optional statement - the documentation string of the
function or docstring.
The code block within every function starts with a colon (:) and is indented.
The statement return [expression] exits a function, optionally passing back an expression to the
caller. A return statement with no arguments is the same as return None.
function_suite
return [expression]
CallingaFunction
Defining a function only gives it a name, specifies the parameters that are to be included in the function
and structures the blocks of code.Once the basic structure of a function is finalized, you can execute it
by calling it from another function or directly from the Python prompt. Following is the example to call
printme() function −
19
def printme( str ):
"This prints a passed string into this function"
print str
return;
# Now you can call printme function
FunctionArguments
You can call a function by using the following types of formal arguments:
Required arguments
Keyword arguments
Default arguments
Variable-length arguments
ScopeofVariables
All variables in a program may not be accessible at all locations in that program. This depends on where
you have declared a variable.
The scope of a variable determines the portion of the program where you can access a particular identifier.
There are two basic scopes of variables in Python −
Globalvs.Localvariables
Variables that are defined inside a function body have a local scope, and those defined outside have a
global scope.
20
This means that local variables can be accessed only inside the function in which they are declared,
whereas global variables can be accessed throughout the program body by all functions. When you call
a function, the variables declared inside it are brought into scope. Following is a simple example –
return total;
sum( 10, 20 );
Result −
21
PYTHON MODULES
A module allows you to logically organize your Python code. Grouping related code into a module makes
the code easier to understand and use. A module is a Python object with arbitrarily named attributes that
you can bind and reference. Simply, a module is a file consisting of Python code. A module can define
functions, classes and variables. A module can also include runnable code.
Example:
The Python code for a module named aname normally resides in a file named aname.py. Here's an
example of a simple module, support.py
return
When the interpreter encounters an import statement, it imports the module if the module is present in the
search path. A search path is a list of directories that the interpreter searches before importing a module.
For example, to import the module support.py, you need to put the following command at the top of the
script −
A module is loaded only once, regardless of the number of times it is imported. This prevents the module
execution from happening over and over again if multiple imports occur.
PackagesinPython
A package is a hierarchical file directory structure that defines a single Python application environment
that consists of modules and sub packages and sub-sub packages.
Consider a file Pots.py available in Phone directory. This file has following line of source code −
def Pots():
22
print "I'm Pots Phone"
Similar way, we have another two files having different functions with the same name as above −
To make all of your functions available when you've imported Phone,to put explicit import statements in
init .py as follows −
from G3 import G3
After you add these lines to init .py, you have all of these classes available when you import the
Phone package.
import Phone
Phone.Pots()
Phone.Isdn()
Phone.G3()
RESULT:
I'm 3G Phone
I'm ISDN Phone
In the above example, we have taken example of a single functions in each file, but you can keep multiple
functions in your files. You can also define different Python classes in those files and then you can create
your packages out of those classes.
23
Python Files I/O
This chapter covers all the basic I/O functions available in Python.
PRINTINGTOTHESCREEN
The simplest way to produce output is using the print statement where you can pass zero or more
expressions separated by commas. This function converts the expressions you pass into a string and
writes the result to standard output as follows −
Result:
READINGKEYBOARDINPUT
Python provides two built-in functions to read a line of text from standard input, which by default comes
from the keyboard. These functions are −
raw_input
input
This prompts you to enter any string and it would display same string on the screen. When I typed "Hello
Python!", its output is like this −
24
The input Function
The input([prompt]) function is equivalent to raw_input, except that it assumes the input is a valid Python
expression and returns the evaluated result to you.
This would produce the following result against the entered input −
OPENINGANDCLOSINGFILES
Until now, you have been reading and writing to the standard input and output. Now, we will see how to
use actual data files.
Python provides basic functions and methods necessary to manipulate files by default. You can do most
of the file manipulation using a file object.
Before you can read or write a file, you have to open it using Python's built-in open() function. This
function creates a file object, which would be utilized to call other support methods associated with it.
Syntax
file object = open(file_name [, access_mode][, buffering])
file_name: The file_name argument is a string value that contains the name of the file that you
want to access.
access_mode: The access_mode determines the mode in which the file has to be opened, i.e.,
read, write, append, etc. A complete list of possible values is given below in the table. This is
optional parameter and the default file access mode is read (r).
buffering: If the buffering value is set to 0, no buffering takes place. If the buffering value is 1,
line buffering is performed while accessing a file. If you specify the buffering value as an integer
greater than 1, then buffering action is performed with the indicated buffer size. If negative, the
buffer size is the system default(default behavior).
25
Here is a list of the different modes of opening a file −
Modes Description
R Opens a file for reading only. The file pointer is placed at the beginning of the file.
This is the default mode.
Rb Opens a file for reading only in binary format. The file pointer is placed at the
beginning of the file. This is the default mode.
r+ Opens a file for both reading and writing. The file pointer placed at the beginning of
the file.
rb+ Opens a file for both reading and writing in binary format. The file pointer placed at
the beginning of the file.
W Opens a file for writing only. Overwrites the file if the file exists. If the file does not
exist, creates a new file for writing.
Wb Opens a file for writing only in binary format. Overwrites the file if the file exists. If
the file does not exist, creates a new file for writing.
w+ Opens a file for both writing and reading. Overwrites the existing file if the file
exists. If the file does not exist, creates a new file for reading and writing.
wb+ Opens a file for both writing and reading in binary format. Overwrites the existing
file if the file exists. If the file does not exist, creates a new file for reading and
writing.
A Opens a file for appending. The file pointer is at the end of the file if the file exists.
That is, the file is in the append mode. If the file does not exist, it creates a new file
for writing.
26
Ab Opens a file for appending in binary format. The file pointer is at the end of the file
if the file exists. That is, the file is in the append mode. If the file does not exist, it
creates a new file for writing.
a+ Opens a file for both appending and reading. The file pointer is at the end of the file
if the file exists. The file opens in the append mode. If the file does not exist, it
creates a new file for reading and writing.
ab+ Opens a file for both appending and reading in binary format. The file pointer is at
the end of the file if the file exists. The file opens in the append mode. If the file
does not exist, it creates a new file for reading and writing.
TheFileObjectAttributes
Once a file is opened and you have one file object, you can get various information related to that file.
Attribute Description
file.softspace Returns false if space explicitly required with print, true otherwise.
Example
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "wb")
print "Name of the file: ", fo. name
print "Closed or not : ", fo. closed
print "Opening mode : ", fo. mode
print "Softspace flag : ", fo. softspace
27
Name of the file: foo.txt
Closed or not : False
Opening mode : wb
Softspace flag : 0
Syntax
fileObject. close();
Example
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "wb")
print "Name of the file: ", fo. name
# Close opend file
fo.close()
Result −
READINGANDWRITINGFILES
The file object provides a set of access methods to make our lives easier. We would see how to
use read() and write() methods to read and write files.
The write() method writes any string to an open file. It is important to note that Python strings can have
binary data and not just text.The write() method does not add a newline character ('\n') to the end of the
string Syntax
fileObject. write(string);
Here, passed parameter is the content to be written into the opened file. Example
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "wb")
28
fo. write( "Python is a great language.\nYeah its great!!\n");
The above method would create foo.txt file and would write given content in that file and finally it would
close that file. If you would open this file, it would have following content.
Syntax
fileObject.read([count]);
Here, passed parameter is the number of bytes to be read from the opened file. This method starts reading
from the beginning of the file and if count is missing, then it tries to read as much as possible, maybe
until the end of file.
Example
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "r+")
str = fo.read(10);
print "Read String is : ", str
# Close opend file
fo.close()
FILEPOSITIONS
The tell() method tells you the current position within the file; in other words, the next read or write will
occur at that many bytes from the beginning of the file.
29
The seek(offset[, from]) method changes the current file position. The offset argument indicates the
number of bytes to be moved. The from argument specifies the reference position from where the bytes
are to be moved.
If from is set to 0, it means use the beginning of the file as the reference position and 1 means use the
current position as the reference position and if it is set to 2 then the end of the file would be taken as the
reference position.
Example
# Open a file
fo = open("foo.txt", "r+")
str = fo.read(10);
print "Read String is : ", str
RENAMINGANDDELETINGFILES
Python os module provides methods that help you perform file-processing operations, such as renaming
and deleting files.
To use this module you need to import it first and then you can call any related functions.
30
Therename()Method
The rename() method takes two arguments, the current filename and the new filename.
Syntax
os.rename(current_file_name, new_file_name)
Example
Following is the example to rename an existing file test1.txt:
import os
Syntax
os.remove(file_name)
Example
Following is the example to delete an existing file test2.txt −
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
DIRECTORIESINPYTHON
All files are contained within various directories, and Python has no problem handling these too.
The os module has several methods that help you create, remove, and change directories.
Example
Following is the example to create a directory test in the current directory −
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
Syntax
os.chdir("newdir")
Example
Following is the example to go into "/home/newdir" directory −
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
Syntax
os.getcwd()
Example
Following is the example to give current directory −
import os
32
# This would give location of the current directory
os.getcwd()
Syntax:
os.rmdir('dirname')
Example
Following is the example to remove "/tmp/test" directory. It is required to give fully qualified name of
the directory, otherwise it would search for that directory in the current directory.
import os
# This would remove "/tmp/test" directory.
os.rmdir( "/tmp/test" )
FILE&DIRECTORY RELATEDMETHODS
There are three important sources, which provide a wide range of utility methods to handle and
manipulate files & directories on Windows and Unix operating systems. They are as follows −
File Object Methods: The file object provides functions to manipulate files.
33
Python Exceptions Handling
Python provides two very important features to handle any unexpected error in your Python programs
and to add debu gging capabilities in them −
Exception Handling: This would be covered in this tutorial. Here is a list standard Exceptions
available in Python: Standard Exceptions.
StopIteration Raised when the next() method of an iterator does not point to any
object.
StandardError Base class for all built-in exceptions except StopIteration and
SystemExit.
ArithmeticError Base class for all errors that occur for numeric calculation.
ZeroDivisionError Raised when division or modulo by zero takes place for all
numeric types.
34
AssertionError Raised in case of failure of the Assert statement.
IOError Raised when an input/ output operation fails, such as the print
statement or the open() function when trying to open a file that does
IOError
not exist.
35
SystemError Raised when the interpreter finds an internal problem, but when
this error is encountered the Python interpreter does not exit.
ValueError Raised when the built-in function for a data type has the valid type
of arguments, but the arguments have invalid values specified.
RuntimeError Raised when a generated error does not fall into any
category.
What is Exception?
An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program that disrupts the normal flow of the
program's instructions. In general, when a Python script encounters a situation that it cannot cope with, it raises an
exception. An exception is a Python objectthat represents an error.
When a Python script raises an exception, it must either handle the exception immediately
otherwise it terminates and quits.
Handling an exception
If you have some suspicious code that may raise an exception, you can defend your
program by placing the suspicious code in a try: block. After the try: block, include
an except: statement, followed by a block of code which handles the problem as elegantly
as possible.
36
Python Object Oriented Programming
Python has been an object-oriented language since it existed. Because of this, creating and using classes
and objects are downright easy. This chapter helps you become an expert in using Python's object -
oriented programming support.
If you do not have any previous experience with object-oriented (OO) programming, you may want to
consult an introductory course on it or at least a tutorial of some sort so that you have a grasp of the basic
concepts.
However, here is small introduction of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to bring you at speed −
Class variable: A variable that is shared by all instances of a class. Class variables are defined
within a class but outside any of the class's methods. Class variables are not used as frequently
as instance variables are.
Data member: A class variable or instance variable that holds data associated with a class
and its objects.
Function overloading: The assignment of more than one behavior to a particular function.
The operation performed varies by the types of objects or argument
Instance variable: A variable that is defined inside a method and belongs only to the current
instance of a class.
Inheritance: The transfer of the characteristics of a class to other classes that are derived from
it.
Instance: An individual object of a certain class. An object obj that belongs to a class Circle,
for example, is an instance of the class Circle.
37
Object: A unique instance of a data structure that's defined by its class. An object comprises
both data members (class variables and instance variables) and methods.
Operator overloading: The assignment of more than one function to a particular operator.
Creating Classes
The class statement creates a new class definition. The name of the class immediately follows the
keyword class followed by a colon as follows −
class ClassName:
'Optional class documentation string'
class_suite
The class has a documentation string, which can be accessed via ClassName. doc .
The class_suite consists of all the component statements defining class members, data
attributes and functions.
Class Inheritance
Instead of starting from scratch, you can create a class by deriving it from a preexisting class by listing
the parent class in parentheses after the new class name.
The child class inherits the attributes of its parent class, and you can use those attributes as if they were
defined in the child class. A child class can also override data members and methods from the parent.
Syntax
Derived classes are declared much like their parent class; however, a list of base classes to inherit from
is given after the class name −
class_suite
OverridingMethods
You can always override your parent class methods. One reason for overriding parent's methods is
because you may want special or different functionality in your subclass.
38
Example
class Parent: # define parent class
def myMethod(self):
print 'Calling parent method'
class Child(Parent): # define child class
def myMethod(self):
print 'Calling child method'
BaseOverloadingMethods
Following table lists some generic functionality that you can override in your own classes −
2 del ( self )
Destructor, deletes an object
Sample Call : del obj
3 repr ( self )
Evaluatable string representation
Sample Call : repr(obj)
39
4 str ( self )
Printable string representation
Sample Call : str(obj)
5 cmp ( self, x )
Object comparison
Sample Call : cmp(obj, x)
Overloading Operators
Suppose you have created a Vector class to represent two-dimensional vectors, what happens when you
use the plus operator to add them? Most likely Python will yell at you.
You could, however, define the add method in your class to perform vector addition and then the
plus operator would behave as per expectation −
Example
class Vector:
def init (self, a, b):
self.a = a
self.b = b
v1 = Vector(2,10)
v2 = Vector(5,-2)

following,then it works for you −
