Python Beginner

Python Getting Started

Python Install:

Many PCs and Macs will have python already installed.

cmd version checkTo check if you have python installed on a Windows PC, search in the start bar for Python or run the following on the Command Line (cmd.exe):

Command Line

To check if you have python installed on a Linux or Mac, then on linux open the command line or on Mac open the Terminal and type:

If you find that you do not have Python installed on your computer, then you can download it for free from the following website: https://www.python.org/

 

Python Quickstart

Python is an interpreted programming language, this means that as a developer you write Python (.py) files in a text editor and then put those files into the python interpreter to be executed.

The way to run a python file is like this on the command line:

name of your python file

Where "helloworld.py" is the name of your python file.

Let's write our first Python file, called helloworld.py, which can be done in any text editor.

print("Hello, World!")

 
 

Simple as that. Save your file. Open your command line, navigate to the directory where you saved your file, and run:

Simple

The output should read:

Output

Congratulations, you have written and executed your first Python program.

Python Version

To check the Python version of the editor, you can find it by importing the sys module:

Example
Check the Python version of the editor:

import sys

print(sys.version)

The Python Command Line

To test a short amount of code in python sometimes it is quickest and easiest not to write the code in a file. This is made possible because Python can be run as a command line itself.

Type the following on the Windows, Mac or Linux command line:

command line
