Python Programming Reference Guide: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners to Master the Basics of Python Programming Language with Practical Coding & Learning Tips

By Coleman Newton

Whenever you are thinking of a widely used, high-level programming language, you have python as your favorite option.
Established in the early nineties by Guido Van Rossum, and then it was later developed by the Python Software Foundation (PSF). The motive behind its design was on the readability of code, thus its syntax gives the chance for programmers to show the concepts they're made of in just fewer code lines.
You might just be interested in programming, whether you have done it before or not, or might be a student, or in the category of the working class, with the aim of upgrading yourself in the line of programming, and if you fall into any of these, you're on the right track.
If you had ever thought of a great programming language suitable for building your next software and website, learning machine, conducting some data analysis, designing, or automating tasks, you have got python programming at your back.
In this reference guide, you have the privilege to research into and get familiar with Python Programming from the basics up to a pro-level.
Moreover, you would also learn:

• How to Install and run Python 2 & 3;
• How to Launch PowerShell;
• How to Make A Short Python Program & Run It;
• How to Locate PC Directory;
• How to Read Files in Python;

Introduction

Whenever you are thinking of a widely used, high level programming language, you have python as your favorite option.

Established in the early nineties by Guido Van Rossum, and then it was later developed by the Python Software Foundation (PSF). The motive behind its design was on the readability of code, thus its syntax gives the chance for programmers to show the concepts they're made of in just a fewer code lines.

You might just be interested in programming, whether you have done it before or not, or might be a student, or in the category of the working class, with the aim of upgrading yourself in the line of programming, and if you fall into any of these, you're on the right track.

If you had ever thought of a great programming language suitable for building your next software and website, learning machine, conducting some data analysis, designing, or automating tasks, you have got python programming at your back.

No wonder you would find some top corporations like JP Morgan Chase, Facebook, Pixar, Netflix, IBM, NASA, Intel, Spotify, Disney, LucasFilm, and many others using python.

However, the US government as well is not left out. Most of her data visualizations and statistical analysis are all performed with the aid of python programming.

Consider this book a must have if you're just about starting, and of course, you would need the basic knowledge if you're aiming to go very far in web and software development, mathematics, system scripting, web applications, rapid prototyping, workflow creation, database connection, files modification, and more.

Congratulations for the bold step you have just taken to get started.

Chapter One

Installing & Running Python 2 & 3

We want to quickly check through the processes of installing and running Python 2 & 3 on Windows computer, and in this case, we want to install it on Windows 10.

We are also going to install the general purpose code editor which is commonly known as Atom, and we are going to learn how to run python programs within the Windows environment locally on your PC.

To begin, you're going to need to download a few files, the atom editor installer. Open your Google Chrome browser, go to https://atom.io, it takes you to the web page, and then click on Download Windows Installer right there.

Next is go to python.org, and you would have to
