Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python is a tutorial designed to be a introduction to the Python programming language. This guide is for someone with no programming experience. If you have programmed in other languages I recommend using The Python Tutorial written by Guidovan Rossum. This document is available as LAT E X, HTML, PDF, and Postscript. Go tohttp://www.honors.montana. ed u/˜jjc/easytut/ to see all these forms. If you have any questions or comments please contact meat jjc@iname.com Iwelcome questions and comments about this tutorial. Iwilltrytoanswer any questions you have as best as Ican. Thanks go to James A. Brown for writing most of the Windows install info. Thanks also to Elizabeth Cogliatifor complaining enough:) about the originaltutorial,(that is almost unusable fora non-programmer) for proofreading and for many ideas and comments on it. Thanks to Joe Oppegaardfor writing all the exercises. Thanks to everyone I have missed. Now, onto more important things. In order to program inPython you need the Python software. If you don’t already have the Python software go tohttp://www.python.org/download/and get the proper version for your platform. Download it, read the instructions and get it installed. The>>>is Python way of telling you that you are in interactive mode. In interactive mode what you type is immedi- atelyrun. Try typing 1+1 in. Python will respond with 2. Interactive mode allows you to test out and see whatPython will do. If you ever feel you need to play with new Python statements go into interactive mode and try them out. Next run the program by going to Run then Run Module (or if you have a older version of IDLE use Edit then Run script). This will output Hello, World! on the*Python Shell*window. Confused still? Try this tutorial for IDLE at http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/dyoo/python/idle intro/index.html 1.5 UsingPythonfrom the command line If you don’twanttouse Python from the command line, you don’thavetoo, just use IDLE. To get into interactive mode just type python without any arguments. To run a program create it with atexteditor (Emacshasagood python mode) and then run it withpython program name.
