Python Tutorial

Class 1
Today’s Objectives
• Preliminary introduction to Python and related concepts

• Install Anaconda

• Install packages

• Install PyCharm

• Create a Python file in PyCharm and obtain help files for packages

Page.1
Introduction to Python-related concepts
• Python
• A high-level, general-purpose programming language.

• The latest version is Python 3.12.2. Make sure your version is Python 3.x.

• In this class, we install Anaconda instead of downloading Python directly from the official website.

• Anaconda
• A comprehensive distribution of Python bundled with a wide range of tools, libraries, and packages.

• Libraries and packages: Collections of modules that offer a wide range of functions.
• Examples: numpy, pandas, math, matplotlib, seaborn, sklearn……

Page.2 • Commonly used packages are integrated in Anaconda.


Introduction to Python-related concepts
• Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• where you edit and execute code.

• Examples: Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, Spyder, PyCharm

• Some IDEs offer intelligent code completion, code inspections, AI assistance.

• We will explore PyCharm in this class, but other IDEs are also optional for programming.
