Python & Anaconda

Python is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. It has a simple syntax that is readable and reusable. As an interpreted language, Python executes instructions directly without compiling to machine code. It has a robust standard library that supports modularity and code reuse through modules and packages. Python can be used for a wide variety of applications including desktop programs, web development, science/engineering, and more. It supports various development environments like Jupyter notebooks, Spyder, and PyCharm to make coding in Python easier.

What is Python?

HIGH-LEVEL
SCRIPTING

GENERAL-PURPOSE

INTERPRETED

It is a general-purpose, high-level, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

• Simple -> Simple syntax, readable and resuable


• Open Source --> We can use python software without any license and its freeware.
• General-Purpose -> designed to be used for writing software in the widest variety
of
application domains High-level -> designed to be more or less independent of a particular
type of computer, human-readable friendly Interpreted -> designed to execute
instructions of a program directly, without previously compiling a program into
machine-language instructions Robust Standard Library -> Python supports modules
and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse.

But, what is the difference between an interpreter and


a compiler?
Interpreter
Compiler

Executes program by taking one


statement at a time
Translates the entire program at once into machine code

Errors are reported after the entire


program is checked
Error is reported as soon as the first error is encountered. Won't
show the next set of errors if the existing one isn't solved

Easier to debug
Difficult

No intermediate object code is generated, hence memory efficient


Generates intermediate object code which further requires linking,
hence requires more memory

Less amount of time to analyze the


source code
More amount of time

Overall execution is slower


Faster

Python
Applications
• Desktop-based
Applications
• Image, Video, Audio Processing (using modules like OpenCV and PyAudio
or librosa)
• Graphic Design Applications (used to create Inkscape, GIMP,
Blender, 3ds Max
software
s)
• Games (PySoy -> 3D game engine, PyGame -> library for
game development)

• Scientific and Computational


Applications
• Machine Learning (Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Deep Learning)
using
libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, TensorFlow, Keras,
Py Torch

· Framework such as Django,
Pyramid
• Micro-Framework such as Flask,
Bottle

• Internet Protocol
• HTML,

Various Ways to execute Python


1. Writing a code in notepad and execute in command prompt 2.
Python (command prompt) 3. Python IDLE 4. Run file
in Python IDLE

Above all are without IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

Anaconda Python
Distribution
Anaconda is an open-source package manager, environment manager, and
distribution of the Python and R programming languages. It is commonly used for
large-scale data processing, scientific computing, and predictive analytics,
serving data scientists, developers, business analysts.

Anaconda offers a collection of over 720 open-source packages, and is available


in both free and paid versions. The Anaconda distribution ships with the conda
command-line utility. You can learn more about Anaconda and conda by reading the
Anaconda Documentation pages.

• Comes either in full-meal-deal version, with numpy, scipy, Jupyter Notebook,


spyder IDE,
etc., where you can install what you want, when you
need it
• No risk of messing up required system
libraries
