The document is a presentation by Manos Androulidakis covering a comprehensive bootcamp introduction to Python, including fundamental concepts like data types, control flow, functions, and object-oriented programming. It also discusses practical tools and libraries for tasks like file manipulation and data analysis. Additionally, it includes details on using Python packages and modules, emphasizing the capabilities of decorators and generators.

10. Statements
IF / ELIF / ELSE
Make a decision based
on a logical condition.
FOR LOOPS
A for loop is used for
iterating over a
sequence (list , tuple,
dictionary, set or
string).
WHILE LOOPS
With the while loop we
can execute a set of
statements as long as a
condition is true.

Functions
Def , Args ,
Lambda

15. Methods/Functions
Def
A function is a block of
code which only runs
when it is called. We
can pass data, known
as parameters into a
function
A function can return
data as a result.
Args
Args are used to pass a
variable number of
arguments to a
function. It is used to
pass a variable length
argument list.
Lambda function
A lambda function is a
small anonymous
function. It can take
any number of
arguments but can
have one expression.

Packages
Pip Install , PiPy

17. Modules and Packages
Modules/ Packages
Modules are .py scripts
and packages are a
collection of modules.
There are packages for
almost any use.
PyPi
PyPi is a repository for
open-source third party
Python packages. It’s
similar to RubyGems in
the Ruby World, PHP’s
Packagist, CPAN for Perl
and NPM for Node.js
Pip install
Packages can be
installed using the pip
install command.

18. Object
Oriented
Programming
18

19. Python Classes and Attributes
Python Class
Python is an object oriented
language. Everything i an
object with properties and
methods. A class is like an
object constructor or a
blueprint for creating objects.
Class Attributes
A class attribute is a Python
variable that belongs to a
class rather than a particular
object.
19

20. Useful Commands
Def _init_
The init method is roughly
what represents a constructor
in python. When you call a it
Python creates an object and
passes it as the first
parameter to the _init_
method.
self.attribute
The self parameter is a
reference to the current
instance of the class, and is
used to access variables that
belong to the class.

21. Errors and
Exceptions

22. Try - Except - Finally

23. Decorators and Generators
Decorators
Decorators are a useful
tool in Python since
they allow us to modify
the behavior of
function or class.
Decorators allow us to
wrap another function
in order to extend the
behavior of wrapped
function without
permanent
modifications
Generators
Generator functions
allow us to declare a
function that behaves
like an iterator i.e. it
can be used in a for
loop.
23

24. Useful Python Modules/Libraries
Random
This module implements pseudo-
random number generators for
various distributions.
Zip/unzip
Importing zipfile allows us to zip
and unzip selected files.
shutils
This module offers a number of
high level operations on files and
collections of files.Functions are
provided which support file
copying and removal.
Debugger
The module pdb defines an
interactive source code debugger
for Python programs. It supports
setting breakpoints , single
stepping , inspection of stack
frames , source code listing and
evaluation of arbitrary code.
Working with images
Importing pillow allows us to open
, save and interact with images
through python code.
PyPDF2
This module allows us to work
with pdf files

Importing csv allows us to read, save and manipulate CSV files
for large scale data.
