Kapish Kumar Student of B.Tech CSE Department, IIMT College of Engg. , Gr.Noida(U.P.)India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - Python is a high-level and powerful object- oriented programming language created by Guido van Rossum. Because of its simple syntax, it is a very goodchoice for those who are learning programming for the first time. It is used in vast number of applications due to the various standard libraries that come along with it and its capacity to integrate with other languages and use their features. This paper describes themainfeaturesofPython programming.It lists out the difference between Python and other language with the help of some code. This paper then discusses applications of Python programming. To end with we will see a few good examples where python programming is being used. Key Words: programming, open source, object-oriented, interoperability, sockets 1. INTRODUCTION Python was conceived in late 1980s, while its implementation began in late 1989 by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. It was implemented as a successor of ABC language capable of exception handling and interfacing with the operating system Amoeba. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing central role in deciding the road to development of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the Python community, benevolent dictator for life (BDFL). The End of Life date (EOL, sunset date) for Python 2.7 was initially set at 2015, then delayed to 2020 out of concern that a large body of existing code cannot easily be forward-ported to Python 3. Python was designed to be highly extensible by its creator. Python can be easily embedded in existing applications which require a programmable interface. It is a small core language with a large standard library and an easily extensible interpreter. An important goal of Python developer is that programmers should have fun using this language. One of the greatest strength of Python is its large standard library which provides tools suited for many tasks. Various modules for creating graphical user interface, connecting to relational databases, generating pseudorandom numbers, arithmetic calculations, regularexpressions etc.areincluded in the library. Python's development is conducted largely through the Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) process. The PEP process is the primary mechanism for proposing major new features, for collecting feedback on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Python. Outstanding PEPs are commented and reviewed by the Python Community. As of March 2017, Python is the fifth most popular language. A study carried out on Python found ittobemoreproductive than conventional languages for problem solving involving string manipulation and search in a dictionary. The social news networking site Reddit is written entirely in Python. Python has been used in Artificial Intelligence tasks. Python is often used for Natural Language processing tasks. Many Linux distributions use installers written in Python. Python has also extensive use in Information Security Industry. The Raspberry Pi single-board computer project has started using Python as its main user-programming language. 2. FEATURES OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING Python is a very high-level, dynamic, object-oriented,general purposeprogramminglanguagethatusesinterpreterandcan be used in a vast domain of applications. Python is very flexible, because of its ability to use modules that were designed in other programming languages. Features of Python are: 2.1 Python is fast and powerful It includes an internal standard library that provides all facilities that are needed for programming from the basic operations to the advanced functions. 2.2 Python is simple and lovely Readability was the main thought out point when designing the syntax of Python language. The language is very simple for a beginner to understand as compared with other languages C, C++. In C and C++ the learners have to be very careful of the syntax. In Python the learner need to take care of only the indentation. The readability achieved as the result of indentation has number of benefits. The capacity of Python to balance high level programming with low level optimization is the strongest point of Python. One more likable point of Python from coder’s point of view is the amount of code you write to solve a particular program. Let us for example write a code which reads 2 files and writes those files one after the other to the 3rd file. 2.3 Language interoperability One of the excellent features of Python is that it glues with other languages. We can call MATLABfunctionsfromPython using MLabWrap. Similarly we can access R, FORTRAN, and

We couldevenaddNumbly,Skippy etc. and leverage their benefits. Python has a large and well equipped standard library. It provides tools suited too many tasks. Python is a complete programming solution with greatest advantages namely 1. It is an open source and completely free even for commercial use. 2. It runs natively on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and others, as does its standard library. 3. It fits quick scripting and large development projects equally well. 3. APPLICATIONS OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING Python is a best choice for real world programming as it is a very well designed language. The most common program types that can be written by Python are as below: 3.1 System Programming Python provides internal interfaces for working with services of operating system due to which it is suitable for system programming. These interfaces provide some functions such as: files and directories operations, parallel processing etc. It contains tools for working worth system resources such as: environmental variables, files, sockets, pipe, processes, multiple threads, command line, standard stream interfaces, shell programming etc. 3.2 Graphical User Interface Tkinter & GxPython are standard object oriented interfaces that provides essential tools for designing GUI.Generated GUIs give a similar look on different platforms. 3.3 Network and Internet Programming Many tools are provided for network programmers namely client-server connection, socket programming, FTP, Telnet, email functions, RPC, SOAP etc. Also some third party tools like mod-Python allow servers like apache to run python scripts. 3.4 Component integrity Tools like Swing and SIP can import the compiled codes of other languages for using in Python. 3.5 Database Programming Python interfaces support common databases like Sybase, Oracle, Informix, MYSQL, PostgresSQL, SQLite etc. 3.6 Numerical programming Python with NumPy module provides powerful tools for working with mathematical libraries,byusingsimplePython codes. 3.7 Other Programming applications 3.7.1 PyGame is a tool for Game Programming 3.7.2 PIL is used for image processing 3.7.3 PyRo for Robotic Programming 3.7.4 NLTK is a package forartificial intelligence,network simulation and shell programming. 3.7.5 Python is a free open source program and consequently it causes more popularity among users. 4. LIST OF CORPORATIONS USING PYTHON FOR DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS Nowadays many corporations use this tool for different functions. Some of them are as below: Google is one of the Python users that included this language in its web search system and Employed Python’s creator, too. YouTube video sharing service makesextensiveuse of Python. Popular BitTorrent peer-to-peerfilesharingsystem is written by Python. ESRI uses Python as an end-user customizationtool for its popular GIS mapping products. NASA, Los Alamos, Fermilab, JPL, and others use Python for scientific programming tasks. Robot uses Python to develop commercial robotic vacuum cleaners. Intel, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Seagate, Qualcomm, and IBM use Python for hardware testing. NSA uses Python for cryptography and intelligence analysis. IronPort email server product uses more than 1 million lines of Python code to do its job. One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project builds its user interface and activity model in Python. Industrial Light & Magic, Pixar, and others use Python in the production of movie animation.
