Notes, Code, and Experiments with Python 3

Quick Overview

• Created in 1991
• It's free and open-source
• Curious fact: creator Guido van Rossum was the "benevolent dictator for life" until 2018

Motivations for Mastering Python

1. Wide range of applications and rich libraries
2. In particular, widely used in AI/ML
3. On top of (1) and (2), very simple syntax

Topics

You can find base Python files (without external libraries) at the root (for easy access). The folders contain code related to external libraries (Matplotlib, NumPy, Pandas, Flask) or specific topics (Web Scraping, CSV Handling).

How to Install Libraries

For Linux systems:

1. Create a virtual environment python3 -m venv venv
2. Activate it source venv/bin/activate
3. Install required libraries pip install pandas matplotlib BeautifulSoup

Running Python Code

1. Activate the virtual environment
2. Run script with: python3 path/to/file.py
