# 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

# 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
### 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.
