  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    It has a relatively uncluttered visual layout and uses English keywords frequently where other languages use punctuation. Python aims to be simple and consistent in the design of its syntax, encapsulated in the mantra "There should be one— and preferably only one —obvious way to do it", from the Zen of Python. [2]

  3. Coding conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_conventions

    The rules a compiler applies to the source creates implicit standards. For example, Python code is much more consistently indented than, say Perl, because whitespace (indentation) is actually significant to the interpreter. Python does not use the brace syntax Perl uses to delimit functions. Changes in indentation serve as the delimiters.

  4. Indentation style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style

    In computer programming, indentation style is a convention, a.k.a. style, governing the indentation of blocks of source code.An indentation style generally involves consistent width of whitespace (indentation size) before each line of a block, so that the lines of code appear to be related, and dictates whether to use space or tab characters for the indentation whitespace.

  5. Programming style - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_style

    Indentation style can assist a reader in various way including: identifying control flow and blocks of code. In some programming languages, indentation is used to delimit blocks of code and therefore is not matter of style. In languages that ignore whitespace, indentation can affect readability. For example, formatted in a commonly-used style:

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    It ships with most Linux distributions, [230] AmigaOS 4 (using Python 2.7), FreeBSD (as a package), NetBSD, and OpenBSD (as a package) and can be used from the command line (terminal). Many Linux distributions use installers written in Python: Ubuntu uses the Ubiquity installer, while Red Hat Linux and Fedora Linux use the Anaconda installer.

  7. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    One of the principles, "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it", can be referenced as the "Pythonic" way. [8] The official definition of "Pythonic" is: [2] An idea or piece of code which closely follows the most common idioms of the Python language, rather than implementing code using concepts common to other ...

  8. Programming paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm

    Programs written using this paradigm use functions, blocks of code intended to behave like mathematical functions. Functional languages discourage changes in the value of variables through assignment, making a great deal of use of recursion instead. The logic programming paradigm views computation as automated reasoning over a body of knowledge.

  9. Scripting language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

    Such languages are also called "macros" when control is through simulated key presses or mouse clicks, as well as tapping or pressing on a touch-activated screen. These languages could in principle be used to control any GUI application; but, in practice their use is limited because their use needs support from the application and from the ...
