First Step with Python ..-->> 001






# What is Python :-                                                                                                                                   
>> General Purpose Language and full object Oriented Programming Language
>> Portable, runs on almost every Operating System available Today
>> High Quality Apps can be rapidly developed and Maintained Easily

# Programmer aspects from a Language : -                                                                                            
>> Dynamic and general Purpose
>> Easy to learn and remember
>> Readability and easier to maintain codes
>> High level Interpreted Language
>> Built-in documentation
>> high Quality modules
>> Easier to make your own modules
>> object oriented Programming Language
>> large set of Python Modules or Libraries

# Why you should learn Python :-                                                                                                        


# Primary Resource to learn about python :-                                                                                      
1.> https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide  # Beginners guide

2.> https://www.python.org/about/apps                  # choose popular python module according to your Interest.

3.> http://pypi.python.org/pypi                               # Python module index

# Getting started Python : -                                                                                                                       


## Installing on linux :-
sudo apt-get install python
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install python-numpy
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo apt-get install python-scipy
sudo apt-get install python-pillow
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
sudo apt-get install python-django

and so on..

## Installing on Windows :-
### Download and Install Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/


### Use Portable Python :- ( BEST )
http://portablepython.com/wiki/Download/
>>> Personally, I like this Project Because of Large set of third party python libraries -
 NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, PyWin32, Django, PIL, wxPython, PyQt, PyGame, etc. code editors
- PyScripter and IDLE all packaged in a single installer.
- NumPy == Numerical python
- SciPy   == for scientific calculations
- Matplotlib == for graph plotting and many more cool stuff
- PyWin32  == Python script to exe
- Django    == Python based popular Web FrameWork
- PIL           == Python imaging Library
- wxPython  == GUI apps development using python
- PyGame  == Rapid Game Developement using python
- IDLE  == Interactive IDE for Python
- PyQt == GUI Framework for Python based UPON Qt
- Tkinter == GUI Framework







>>> So you do not need to Install Python Again and Again, Install Python to USB drive and take it anywhere you want.




## Installing Python Modules :-                                                                                                                
### For Windows :-
>>> Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

### For Linux :-
>>> You can use PIP or easy_install
for example :-
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install pandas

>>> OR use your system package manager
for example for Ubuntu( Debian based)
sudo apt-get install python-numpy
sudo apt-get install python-mmtk


## Interactive Python :-

    IPython
    IDLE
    WinPython

## IDE for Python :-
    PyDev for eclipse
    Spider
    Eric
    IDLE

or You can use:
    NotePad++
    gEdit
    kWrite
    Notepad itself.
