In this article I am going to explain some basic of
Python and installation step.
What
is Python?
Python is an interpreter, object-oriented, high-level
programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data
structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding; make it very
attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting
or glue language to connect existing components together.
Python is an interpreted language as compared to a compiled language.
Interpreted languages allow you to develop software faster, speed of
development is faster. Meaning it allows you to write the same kind of code
faster.
What
is Python used for?
The most basic use case for Python is as a scripting
and automation language. Python isn't just a replacement for shell scripts or
batch files, but is also used to automate interactions with web browsers or
application GUIs or system provisioning and configuration in tools such as
Ansible and Salt. But scripting and automation represent only the tip of the
iceberg with Python.
Areas
where Python use:
- Web
development
- Scientific applications
- Data science and machine learning.
Now before going into deep we will learn how we can
install Python.
So follow below steps:
Open browser and type:
http://www.python.org/downloads/
From here download Python latest version.

Python installation has been completed successfully.
Now we will learn PyCharm installation.
What
is PyCharm?
PyCharm is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
used in computer programming, specifically for the Python language. It is
developed by the Czech company JetBrains.
It provides code analysis, a graphical debugger, an
integrated unit tester, integration with version control systems (VCSes), and
supports web development with Django.
PyCharm is cross-platform, with Windows, macOS and Linux versions.
To download PyCharm open below link:
