The content in this “About Python” series was developed to support labs for my COME 214: Programming Language Concepts course at Dogus University. These notes are not designed as a general introduction to the Python language or to programming. They are designed to reinforce or introduce programming language concepts that are explored in the course. But if they are helpful to you as a general introduction, so much the better.

These notes are believed to be accurate for Python 2.7. You mileage on other versions may vary.

• About Python I: interpretation, scripting, typing
• About Python II: imperative programming (and some functional)
• About Python III: object orientation
• About Python IV: more OO concepts
• Extras:
  • How do you pronounce "Python"?
  • Windows Python post-install
