Python - Learn step by step

Python – if you know other languages here you go..

https://www.python.org/

Download the python interpreter from the above link.

To check whether it has been installed, check in cmd prompt by typing command python

python //it will show error as invalid command

so this means we need to set the path.

We can set it like below in cmd:

path %path%;<path were you have installed python>like 1 below

path %path%;c:\python34

So, it’s done now, check it again after you have set the path like one above.

So, here we can write our program, I have written my simple program as one below.

There are variety of editor for python, but always prefer to use eclipse as it is having a very good plugin for python ,if you are java programmer, then GOOD!! you already have knowledge in this.

So, we can go to eclipse downloads and download the standard one

http://eclipse.org/downloads/

After you are done with the installation just, extract the downloaded eclipse zip file and place it in the c:\program files.

Click eclipse.exe and here you go, but before you start, we need to download the python plugin for eclipse.   //install JDK in case u get any error related to that

Go to help->Install New Softwares->Available software sites->add http://pydev.org/updates , also you can give any name like python to that.

Go to the work with option and put the name which you have given earlier, it will start searching for pydev. So select pydev and install it.

Go to windows->preferences->pydev->interpreters->python interpretor->New! Here add the python interpreter you have already installed earlier, as discussed before in this writing.

So path will be c:\python34\python.exe   //will depend in case you have changed the by default installation settings, better to browse and then select the path.

So the ground is ready!!!!!Start playing..
