How to Use Python

1. Install Python
   • Download from python.org .
   • Use package managers like apt (Linux) or brew (MacOS).
2. Write Code
   • Use a text editor (e.g., VSCode, PyCharm, Sublime).
   • Save files with a .py extension.
3. Run Code

   • Use the terminal:

     python script.py
4. Use Virtual Environments

   • Create isolated environments for dependencies:

     python -m venv env_name source env_name/bin/activate  # Linux/MacOS env_name\Scripts\activate    # Windows
5. Install Libraries

   • Use pip:

     pip install library_name

     Rules for Python Identifiers

     Identifiers in Python are the names used to identify variables, functions, classes, or other objects. They must follow certain rules to be valid. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the rules for Python identifiers:

      

     1. Case Sensitivity
        • Identifiers are case-sensitive.
        • myVariable, MyVariable, and MYVARIABLE are considered different identifiers.
     2. Allowed Characters
        • Identifiers can consist of letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), and underscores (_).
        • They cannot start with a digit. For example:
          • Valid: my_var, _var1, var2
          • Invalid: 2var, @var
     3. Reserved Keywords
        • Identifiers cannot be the same as Python's reserved keywords. Examples of keywords include:
          • if, else, while, class, def, True, False, etc.

        • You can get the full list of keywords by:

          import keyword print (keyword.kwlist)
     4. Special Characters
        • Identifiers cannot contain special characters like @, #, $, %, &, etc.
        • For example, my@var or var#name is invalid.
     5. Length
        • Python identifiers can be of any reasonable length, but it's good practice to keep them concise and meaningful.
     6. Underscores
        • Single Leading Underscore _var: Indicates a private or internal use (convention only).
        • Double Leading Underscores __var: Used for name mangling in classes.
        • Double Leading and Trailing Underscores __init__: Indicates a special method in Python.
     7. No Spaces
        • Identifiers cannot have spaces. Use underscores _ for multi-word identifiers.
          • Valid: my_variable
          • Invalid: my variable

     ---

     Best Practices for Identifiers

     1. Descriptive Names
        • Use meaningful names that describe the purpose of the variable or function.
          • Good: user_name, calculate_sum
          • Bad: x, a1
     2. Snake Case for Variables and Functions

        • Use snake_case for variable and function names:

          def calculate_sum ():    pass my_variable = 10
     3. Pascal Case for Classes

        • Use PascalCase for class names:

          class MyClass :    pass
     4. Avoid Shadowing Built-ins

        • Do not use names of built-in functions or modules (e.g., list, str, input):

          # Bad list = [1 , 2 , 3 ]  # Overwrites the built-in `list` # Good my_list = [1 , 2 , 3 ]

     ---

     Examples of Valid and Invalid Identifiers

     Identifier	Valid/Invalid	Reason
     my_var	✅	Follows all rules
     _myVar	✅	Starts with an underscore
     __myVar	✅	Double underscore allowed
     2myVar	❌	Cannot start with a digit
     my-var	❌	Hyphen - is not allowed
     class	❌	class is a reserved keyword
     MyClass	✅	Valid class name in PascalCase
     my variable	❌	Spaces are not allowed
     list	❌	Overwrites a built-in function
