About Python and PyKoder

Python is a powerful and dynamic high-level programming language that is easy to learn and use. Python is free to use even for commercial purposes. Python has a large community of supportive members who are ready to help and also consists of extensive documentation.

For those who are set out on a journey into programming, Python is a great choice for your first programming language. Those already well acquainted with programming can also choose to shift to the world of Python programming.

Some features of the Python programming language are:

  • very clear, readable syntax
  • strong introspection capabilities
  • intuitive object orientation
  • natural expression of procedural code
  • full modularity, supporting hierarchical packages
  • exception-based error handling
  • very high level dynamic data types
  • extensive standard libraries and third party modules for virtually every task
  • extensions and modules easily written in C, C++ (or Java for Jython, or .NET languages for IronPython)
  • embeddable within applications as a scripting interface
Python has also been used for a wide range of applications such as finance and scientific data processing. Python can be used easily for simple tasks as well as large and complex tasks. Its extensive collection of standard libraries and modules allows you to even perform tasks such as extracting information from the internet!!

PyKoder is intended to be a web resource for learning Python. PyKoder will feature Python code snippets, tutorials, tips, tricks and news in the form of a blog. As of now, the latest version of Python is 3.1.2 so the code you will find here will work with all 3.x versions. I hope that you will find the information in PyKoder useful.

Over time, I hope to make PyKoder an extensive resource for those willing to learn Python. I hope that you will support me in this endeavour by providing your feedback. Thanks for visiting PyKoder.
