2. What is Python? Python is a widely used general-purpose,
high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes
code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express
concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages
such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to
enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.
3. History of Python Python was conceived in the late 1980s and
its implementation was started in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum
at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language
(itself inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and
interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Van Rossum is
Python's principal author, and his continuing central role in
deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the title given to
him by the Python community, benevolent dictator for life
4. Python's Philosophy The core philosophy of the language is
summarized by the document "PEP 20 (The Zen of Python)", which
includes aphorisms such as: 1.Beautiful is better than ugly
2.Explicit is better than implicit 3.Simple is better than complex
4.Complex is better than complicated 5.Readability counts
5. Python's Libraries Python has a large standard library,
commonly cited as one of Python's greatest strengths, providing
tools suited to many tasks. This is deliberate and has been
described as a "batteries included" Python philosophy. For
Internet-facing applications, a large number of standard formats
and protocols (such as MIME and HTTP) are supported. Modules for
creating graphical user interfaces, connecting to relational
databases, pseudorandom number generators, arithmetic with
arbitrary precision decimals, manipulating regular expressions, and
doing unit testing are also included.
6. What are PyGames? Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python
modules designed for writing video games. It includes computer
graphics and sound libraries designed to be used with the Python
programming language. It is built over the Simple DirectMedia Layer
(SDL) library, with the intention of allowing real- time computer
game development without the low-level mechanics of the C
programming language and its derivatives.
7. Python Games Also known as PyGames, are the games made by
using the python code. Many people use python to depict all of
their creativity onto a blank canvas and add codes that make those
characters move in a game and have a purpose.
8. Example of PyGames Eve Online is probably the most known
game that used Stackless Python, a lightweight, microthread version
of Python.
9. Examples of PyGames Another example of a game made using
Python is Disney's Pirates of The Caribbean. It was written using
Panda3d game engine (which allows both Python and C++ scripting).
The engine is in C++, but then again, the Python interpreter itself
also uses a lot of C code.
10. PyGames PyGames can be made by anyone that has a basic
knowledge of Python and uses the help of the World Wide Web to
perfect their desired games. An example would be this video:
