Python has been the fastest growing language globally in the last 5 years. In India, the average salary for a Python developer is 4.8 lacs per annum at the entry level. This deck gets you started on fundamentals of Python, Python constructs and guides you to set up the environment and write your first Python program. It introduces you to the Spotle Certificate Masterclass In Python which covers the complete Python fundamentals through interactive videos, live classes, integrated hands-ons and projects.

5. The case for Python
✓ High Usability
✓ Flexibility – Python allows
easy cross-app integration
and also inter-operability
with other programming
languages
✓ Readable and simple –
Easier to learn, code and
debug
✓ Large standardised library
simplifying complex tasks
✓ Interactive mode with the
integrated, easy to use
development environment
Jupyter
Web Development
• Core Python Packages: Flask, Django
Data Science
• Core Python Packages: Pandas, Matplotlib, StatsModels
Text Processing
Core Python Packages: NLTK, TextBlob, Spacy
Artificial Intelligence
• Core Python Packages: SciKit – Learn, Tensorflow, Keras
Scientific and Numeric Computing
• Core Python Packages: NumPy

6. Python 2 vs Python 3
Python 2 Python 3
Legacy
Though used in 63% of software projects till
2017-18, its adoption is declining. As of 2019, the
latest version of Python 2, Python 2.7 is officially
retired
Way Ahead
Uptick in adoption. New libraries are being for
Python3
ASCII
Strings are stored as ASCII by default
UNICODE
Strings are stored as UNICODE by default
3/2 = 2
In Python 2, 3/2 is integer division or floor division.
So Print 3/2 will print 1
3/2 = 1.5
In Python 3, 3/2 returns the expected 1.5. So Print
(3/2) will print1.5
Print is a Statement
Print “Welcome to Spotle.ai”
Print is a Function
Print (“Welcome to Spotle.ai”)

8. Compiler vs Python Interpreter
Basis Compiler Interpreter
Input It takes an entire program at a
time
It takes a single line of code or
instruction at a time
Output It generates intermediate object
code
It does not produce any intermediate
object code
Working
mechanism
The compilation is done before
execution
Compilation and execution take
place simultaneously
Speed Comparatively faster Slower
Memory Memory requirement is more due
to the creation of object code
It requires less memory as it does
not create intermediate object code
Errors Display all errors after
compilation, all at the same time
Displays error of each line one by
one
Error detection Difficult Easier comparatively

9. In Python, indentation is not just for
making it look pretty
In Python, indentation has well defined meaning. Indentation is used to
define block of codes. See the below example.
If (1==1)
print (“All is well”)
Else
print (“End of the world”)
print (“Bye Bye”)
If (1==1)
print (“All is well”)
Else
print (“End of the world”)
print (“Bye Bye”)
This will print
All is well
Bye Bye
The above piece of code will
consider print (“Bye Bye”) outside
if-else
This will print
All is well
But will not print Bye Bye
The above piece of code will
consider print (“Bye Bye”) under
else condition

10. In Python, everything is an object
Python is an object oriented language where everything is an object. Unlike
Ruby, python objects are not necessarily sub-classable or have methods.
They are objects in the sense they can be passed in functions or assigned
to variables.
class Myself
def self_love(self):
Print(“I am awesome”)
Me = Myself()
Me.self_love()
Here Myself is a class, the function self_love is called a method of Myself
and Me is an object of type Myself.
