Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science I | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python In this interactive tutorial, we'll cover many essential Python idioms and techniques in depth, adding immediately useful tools to your belt.

My credentials: I am a resident of Montreal,father of two great kids, husband of one special woman,a full-time Python programmer,author of the Docutils project and reStructuredText,an editor of the Python Enhancement Proposals (or PEPs),an organizer of PyCon 2007, and chair of PyCon 2008,a member of the Python Software Foundation,a Director of the Foundation for the past year, and its Secretary. In the tutorial I presented at PyCon 2006 (called Text & Data Processing), I was surprised at the reaction to some techniques I used that I had thought were common knowledge. Many of you will have seen some of these techniques and idioms before. These are the guiding principles of Python, but are open to interpretation. import this

2. Using the Python Interpreter — Python v3.3.2 documentation 2.1. Invoking the Interpreter The Python interpreter is usually installed as /usr/local/bin/python3.3 on those machines where it is available; putting /usr/local/bin in your Unix shell’s search path makes it possible to start it by typing the command: to the shell. Since the choice of the directory where the interpreter lives is an installation option, other places are possible; check with your local Python guru or system administrator. (E.g., /usr/local/python is a popular alternative location.) On Windows machines, the Python installation is usually placed in C:\Python33 , though you can change this when you’re running the installer. set path =% path % ; C : \ python33 Typing an end-of-file character ( Control-D on Unix, Control-Z on Windows) at the primary prompt causes the interpreter to exit with a zero exit status. The interpreter’s line-editing features usually aren’t very sophisticated. Some Python modules are also useful as scripts. 2.1.1. 2.1.2. 2.2. 2.2.1. 2.2.2. #! 2.2.3.
