Have your cake and eat it, too:Productivity and readable code VHLLs will gain on system languages John Ousterhout Lifes better without braces Bruce Eckel Tutorial Outline interactive shell basic types: numbers, strings container types: lists, dictionaries, tuples variables control structures functions procedures classes instances modules packages exceptions files standard library whats new in Python 2.0 and beyond Try It Out! If you brought a laptop into the classroom, feel free to play along Download Python from Any version will do for this class By and large they are all mutually compatible Recommended version: 2.1.1 or 2.2 Oldest version still in widespread use: 1.5.2 Avoid 1.6/1.6.1 if you can When using 2.0 or 2.1, upgrade to 2.0.1 / 2.1.1 2.1.2 is coming soon! Use IDLE if you can Interactive “Shell” Great for learning the language Great for experimenting with the library Great for testing your own modules Two variations: IDLE GUI ,python command line Type statements or expressions at prompt: print Hello, world Hello, world x 12**2 x/2 72 # this is a comment Numbers The usual suspects 12, 3.14, 0xFF, 0377, -1+2 *3/4**5, abs x , 0 x 5 C-style shifting masking 1 16, x0xff, x|1, ~x, x^y Integer division truncates :- 1/2 - 0 # 1./2. - 0.5, float 1 /2 - 0.5 Will be fixed in the future Long arbitrary precision , complex 2L**100 - 1座机电话号码0座机电话号码1座机电话号码5376L In Python 2.2 and beyond, 2**100 does the same thing 1j**2 - -1+0j Strings hello+world helloworld # concatenation hello*3 hellohellohello # repetition hello[0] h # indexing hello[-1] o # from end hello[1:4] ell # slicing len hello 5 # size hello jello 1 # comparison e in hello 1 # search escapes: \n etc, \033 etc, \if etc single quotes triple quotes rraw strings Lists Fle
