Q&A for How to Start Programming in Python

From within a Python program, you use a built-in standard library utility, called Find spec. And so you import, import lib.util. And then, you can call Find spec on that, and you give it whatever package you want to know about. That thing can directly tell you whether it has been installed or not.

Yes, if you have the programming skills and a computer/laptop with enough storage.

Python is an easy to use, fun and easy to learn programming language that is smaller and more compressed than C, C++, Java or binary. You can automate more things in one sentence than in single files alone. Another pro of using Python is that you can test your code whenever you need to, and it is just a simple save.

YouTube is the most common website to use but people's programming blogs also help. There are various online academies with free tutorials as well, such as Code Academy and Khan Academy.

A day or two to learn the basics, but it could take months to learn and master the language.

To add a comment in Python, you can just type a "#" followed by whatever comment you want to add.

It isn't advised to hack, because it can end you up in jail. However, if you are allowed, you technically can, although it requires a high level of intelligence.

You can't. However, if you create the code in a new file, then the whole file is editable. Just run the code afterwards (F5).

If you're talking about a Python file, press Ctrl+S and save it as "yourfile.py".

This requires an algorithm that matches exactly what the word is and how it is used in the sentence. You may also require a reference for the words such as a dictionary (txt file), another file that sorts out the words and some grammar checkers.

Yes, you can. App developers now optimize Python for mobile development using tools like CPython, PySide, etc. An advantage of building apps in Python is in consideration of the quick turnaround time (TAT) of the Python language.

Dcode and Sololearn have "code playgrounds" that allow you to program in a variety of languages. They are both available to download for free on Google Play Store.

There are many modules that can be used to draw objects in a window. You should use Tkinter or Pygame. There are many tutorials online on how to use them.

No, Python does it for you. Use a higher level language, like C.

Yes, you can make a complex game using any high-level programming language.

On a Mac click command + space and type in terminal. Terminal is also on Linux, but now on Windows.

All you need is the turtle module; this will open a Tk window environment. The documentation for the turtle module is at docs.python.org.

Yes, but you will have to also use other languages like HTML, CSS etc. for certain parts. Reddit, for example, uses Python.

It means that if you are a Windows user, open your command prompt. If you are a Mac/lLnux user, open your terminal.

Installing Python requires internet access, but once you have it installed, no internet is required.

For empty directories: import os os.rmdir For directories with files: import shutil shutil.rmtree('PATH_HERE')

Start by looking into w3schools tutorials, they have some good ones on OOP. Object-Oriented Programming can be confusing at first, but once you understand it, it isn't as difficult as you might think. In Python, you create a class by using the keyword 'class' and then the name of your class, followed by two parentheses and a colon. Inside of a class, you can define more classes, functions, or variables and use those functions, variables, or classes. We can also create a class that can be reused every time we want to make another object.

Yes, you can create a socket server and connect to it with a client. If you want to do this, it would be a good idea to learn Socket programming.

Yes indeed, as it opens up many possibilities in programming and is mostly easy to understand.

That is how it just works. To edit, you must download an IDE (for example, IDLE, Thonny, Visual Studio Code, PyCharm) and edit there. To open a file in an IDE, you must right click the file and choose "edit with {name of your IDE}".

Any you want, it works on well on all versions. But do upgrade to the the newest version of Windows (Windows 10) first.

If I understand your question correctly, this is the answer: print('''This is text. this text is indented''').

This would be as follows: original = float(input("Original price: ")) discount = float(input("Percent discount: ")) result = (1-(discount/100))*original print(f"You will pay {result} when discount is calculated. ")

Yes, the Python IDE is available on Google Play if you have an Android phone.

If you can't download py2exe , then try pyinstaller instead or other app building packages from PyPi and other reputable websites. If you don't have access to the internet, get the offline zipped file or .whl file from someone else.
