Python

Python Homepage

For your reference, everything Python is accessible from the main Python homepage.

Python/IDLE Intro

Your first assignment is to get familiar with the IDLE programming environment for Python that we have installed on the PCs (Start/Programs/Computing/IDLE) in the drop-in computer lab at Neufeld 9. We'll use the "One Day of IDLE Toying" tutorial written by Danny Yoo at Berkeley.

Python Text

A supplementary textbook specific to Python is available on the web:
Allen B. Downey, Jeffrey Elkner and Chris Meyers, How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python, Green Tea Press. (off-site link)

Python Constructs

Here is an updated list of all the Python language constructs and libraries that we've learned in class to date. For your own edification, you are encouraged to learn as much about Python and its libraries as you can. However, for class purposes in your labs, please limit yourself to these constructs.
