We are the Knights who say ni!

Windows

Search for cmd

Mac OS X

The Mac command line is a program called Terminal. It lives in the folder

Linux

You already know the answer

Where is the command line?

/Applications/Utilities/

The letter may be different...so you might see something like:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

D:\YourName\Projects\Python>

From now on we will denote the command line by a dollar sign.

Python as desktop calculator

 The integer numbers (e.g. 2, 4, 20) have type:

>>> 2+2
4
>>> 53/3
17
>>> 53/4
13

int

 The decimals (e.g. 53.0, 4.0, 13.25) have type:

float

 If both operands are of type int, floor division is performed and an int is returned (e.g. 53/4 returns 13)

 If either operand is a float, classic division is performed and a float is returned (e.g. 53.0/4 or 53/4.0 return 13.25)

>>> 53/4.0
13.25
>>> 53.0/4
13.25

Python as a desktop calculator

>>> type(53/3)
<type 'int'>
>>> type(53)
<type 'int'>
>>> type(53.0)
<type 'float'>

>>> 53 / 4 # int / int  -> int
13
>>> 53 / 4.0 # int / float -> float
13.25
>>> 53 // 4
13
>>> 53 // 4.0
13.0
>>> 53 // 4.0 # explicit floor division discards the remainder
13.0
>>> 53 % 4 # the % operator returns the remainder
1
>>> 13 * 4 + 1 # result * divisor + remainder

Python as a desktop calculator

>>> width = 23.56
>>> height = 46.9
>>>

The equal sign (=) is used to assign a value to a variable.
Afterwards, no result is displayed before the next cell.

If a variable is not “defined” (assigned a value), trying to use it will give you an error:

>>> heitgh * width
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'heitgh' is not defined
>>> height * width
1104.964

In interactive mode, the last printed expression is assigned to the variable _. This means that when you are using Python as a desk calculator, it is somewhat easier to continue calculations, for example:

>>> width = 23.5482934
>>> height = 46.923
>>> height * width
1104.9565712081999
>>> _
1104.9565712081999

>>> round(_,2)

Defining functions

Functions Defined

The core of extensible programming is defining functions. 

# Python 3: Fibonacci series up to n
>>> def fib(n):
>>>     a, b = 0, 1
>>>     while a < n:
>>>         print(a, end=' ')
>>>         a, b = b, a+b
>>>     print()
>>> fib(1000)
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610 987

Defining functions

3 types of Functions

• functions always available for usage
• functions contained within external modules which must be imported
• functions defined by a programmer with the def keyword (see example on left).

# Python 3: Fibonacci series up to n
>>> def fib(n):

>>>     while a < n:

Writing Python code

If you want to reuse your function, you must write it down:

• In a .py file using a text editor, e.g. sublime text

• In a Ipython/Jupyter notebook

Writing Python code:

Sublime text

Writing Python code:

Jupyter Notebooks

Modules

• A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements.​

# Probability problem of Chevalier module
from fractions import Fraction
def chevalier(x):
	return Fraction(1,1)-Fraction(35,36)**x
def fchevalier(x):
	return float(Fraction(1,1)-Fraction(35,36)**x)

• The file name is the module name with the suffix .py appended.

• For instance, use your favorite text editor to create a file called mymodule.py in the current directory with the following contents:

Modules

Now enter the Python interpreter and import this module with the following command:

C:\Users\jajaco3\Desktop\PythonForDataScience>python
Python 2.7.12 |Anaconda 4.1.1 (64-bit)| (default, Jun 29 2016, 11:07:13) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

>>> import mymodule

Modules

Using the module name you can access the functions:

>>> mymodule.chevalier(24)
Fraction(11033126465283976852912127963392284191, 22452257707354557240087211123792674816)
>>> mymodule.fchevalier(24)
0.49140387613090325
>>>

Modules

If you intend to use a function often you can assign it to a local name:

>>> chev = mymodule.chevalier
>>> chev(25)
Fraction(408611683992293747092011689842522621501, 808281277464764060643139600456536293376)
>>> fchev = mymodule.fchevalier
>>> fchev(25)
0.5055315462383781
>>>

The built-in function dir() is used to find out which names a module defines.

It returns a sorted list of strings:

Modules

>>> import mymodule
>>> dir(mymodule)
['Fraction', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'chevalier', 'fchevalier']
>>>

• The built-in function help() provides helpful information from "docstrings" written into the function.

Modules

>>> import math
>>> help(math.log)
Help on built-in function log in module math:

log(...)
    log(x[, base])

    Return the logarithm of x to the given base.
    If the base not specified, returns the natural logarithm (base e) of x.

>>>

• However, not all functions have docstrings (e.g. we did not write one for our function) but the vast majority are documented this way.

Modules:

packages

• Packages are a way of structuring Python’s module namespace by using “dotted module names”.

• For example, the module name A.B designates a submodule named B in a package named A.

• The use of dotted module names saves the authors of multi-module packages like NumPy from having to worry about each other’s module names.

Modules:

Executing modules as script

• The code that parses the command line only runs if the module is executed as the “main” file​

 if __name__ == "__main__":
     import sys
     fchevalier(int(sys.argv[1]))

NumPy:

MatplotLib

MatplotLib

matplotlib.style.use('fivethirtyeight')

Without this change, most styles will default to the "jet" colormap.

MatplotLib

$ git clone https://github.com/tonysyu/matplotlib-style-gallery.git
$ cd matplotlib-style-gallery
$ python -m mpl_style_gallery

To run the gallery showing styles available, simply grab the source and run the package as a script:

 "a 2 billion dollar

facebook for programmers" 

"15 billion active users who learn, share, and work together to build software"

• Github: file repository like dropbox

• Git: version control system for software dev.

"free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency."

$ git clone

$ git push

Clone a repository

Update server with your commits across all branches that are common between your local copy and server

$ git fork

Points your repo to original via an alternates file

$ git pull

Fetch changes from server and merge into current branch

Jupyter Notebooks

"Open source, interactive data science and scientific computing across over 40 programming languages."

Notebooks may be exported to a range of static formats:

• HTML (for example, for blog posts)
• LaTeX
• PDF
• Slide shows (via reveal.js)

The Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text.

 Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning and much more.

Any .ipynb notebook document available from a public URL can be shared via the Jupyter Notebook Viewer (nbviewer).

Jupyter Notebooks

The landing page of the Jupyter notebook web application, the dashboard, shows the notebooks currently available in the notebook directory
