Python History-Introduction and Overview

Introduction and Overview

Introduction

Python is currently one of the most popular dynamic programming languages, along with Perl, Tcl, PHP, and newcomer Ruby. Although it is often viewed as a "scripting" language, it is really a general purpose programming language along the lines of Lisp or Smalltalk (as are the others, by the way). Today, Python is used for everything from throw-away scripts to large scalable web servers that provide uninterrupted service 24x7. It is used for GUI and database programming, client- and server-side web programming, and application testing. It is used by scientists writing applications for the world's fastest supercomputers and by children first learning to program.
In this blog, I will shine the spotlight on Python's history. In particular, how Python was developed, major influences in its design, mistakes made, lessons learned, and future directions for the language.

Acknowledgment: I am indebted to Dave Beazley for many of the better sentences in this blog. (For more on the origins of this blog, see my other blog.)

A Bird's Eye View of Python

When one is first exposed to Python, they are often struck by way that Python code looks, at least on the surface, similar to code written in other conventional programming languages such as C or Pascal. This is no accident---the syntax of Python borrows heavily from C. For instance, many of Python's keywords (if, else, while, for, etc.) are the same as in C, Python identifiers have the same naming rules as C, and most of the standard operators have the same meaning as C. Of course, Python is obviously not C and one major area where it differs is that instead of using braces for statement grouping, it uses indentation. For example, instead of writing statements in C like this

if (a < b) {
    max = b;
} else {
    max = a;
}

Python just dispenses with the braces altogether (along with the trailing semicolons for good measure) and uses the following structure

if a < b:
    max = b
else:
    max = a

The other major area where Python differs from C-like languages is in its use of dynamic typing. In C, variables must always be explicitly declared and given a specific type such as int or double. This information is then used to perform static compile-time checks of the program as well as for allocating memory locations used for storing the variable’s value. In Python, variables are simply names that refer to objects. Variables do not need to be declared before they are assigned and they can even change type in the middle of a program. Like other dynamic languages, all type-checking is performed at run-time by an interpreter instead of during a separate compilation step.

Python’s primitive built-in data types include Booleans, numbers (machine integers, arbitrary-precision integers, and real and complex floating point numbers), and strings (8-bit and Unicode). These are all immutable types, meaning that values are represented by objects that cannot be modified after their creation. Compound built-in data types include tuples (immutable arrays), lists (resizable arrays) and dictionaries (hash tables).

For organizing programs, Python supports packages (groups of modules and/or packages), modules (related code grouped together in a single source file), classes, methods and functions. For flow control, it provides if/else, while, and a high-level for statement that loops over any “iterable” object. For error handling, Python uses (non-resumable) exceptions. A raise statement throws an exception, and try/except/finally statements specify exception handlers. Built-in operations throw exceptions when error conditions are encountered.

In Python, all objects that can be named are said to be "first class." This means that functions, classes, methods, modules, and all other named objects can be freely passed around, inspected, and placed in various data structures (e.g., lists or dictionaries) at run-time. And speaking of objects, Python also has full support for object-oriented programming including user-defined classes, inheritance, and run-time binding of methods.

Python has an extensive standard library, which is one of the main reasons for its popularity. The standard library has more than 100 modules and is always evolving. Some of these modules include regular expression matching, standard mathematical functions, threads, operating systems interfaces, network programming, standard internet protocols (HTTP,FTP, SMTP, etc.), email handling, XML processing, HTML parsing, and a GUI toolkit (Tcl/Tk).

In addition, there is a very large supply of third-party modules and packages, most of which are also open source. Here one finds web frameworks (too many to list!), more GUI toolkits, efficient numerical libraries (including wrappers for many popular Fortran packages), interfaces to relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, and others), SWIG (a tool for making arbitrary C++ libraries available as Python modules), and much more.

A major appeal of Python (and other dynamic programming languages for that matter) is that seemingly complicated tasks can often be expressed with very little code. As an example, here is a simple Python script that fetches a web page, scans it looking for URL references, and prints the first 10 of those.

# Scan the web looking for references

import re
import urllib

regex = re.compile(r'href="([^"]+)"')

def matcher(url, max=10):
    "Print the first several URL references in a given url."
    data = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
    hits = regex.findall(data)
    for hit in hits[:max]:
        print urllib.basejoin(url, hit)

matcher("http://python.org")

This program can easily be modified to make a web crawler, and indeed Scott Hassan has told me that he wrote Google’s first web crawler in Python. Today, Google employs millions of lines of Python code to manage many aspects of its operations, from build automation to ad management (Disclaimer: I am currently a Google employee.)

Underneath the covers, Python is typically implemented using a combination of a bytecode compiler and interpreter. Compilation is implicitly performed as modules are loaded, and several language primitives require the compiler to be available at run-time. Although Python’s de-facto standard implementation is written in C, and available for every imaginable hardware/software platform, several other implementations have become popular. Jython is a version that runs on the JVM and has seamless Java integration. IronPython is a version for the Microsoft .NET platform that has similar integration with other languages running on .NET. PyPy is an optimizing Python compiler/interpreter written in Python (still a research project, being undertaken with EU funding). There’s also Stackless Python, a variant of the C implementation that reduces reliance on the C stack for function/method calls, to allow co-routines, continuations, and microthreads.

Top 10 programming languages 2016

Java

Learn Java online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 3 (Scaled 1 to 5)

What is it: Java, in the context isn’t coffee, it is a computer programming language that has been around since the 1990’s. Despite the language being open source, meaning anyone can freely use it, it is currently owned and maintained by the Oracle Corporation. Java was designed to be a language that could run on any device, as a result this language is used for software development for computers, smart phones and even smart TV’s

Why you should learn it: Java is one of the most in-demand languages. Businesses both large and small are powered by applications written in this language. This means if you have an idea for an innovative type of business software, Java is probably the best language for you. The same is true if you have a great idea for a new Android app because Java is the language of choice amongst Android developers.

Applications and examples: Many of the most popular Android applications such as Angry Birds, Temple Run and Candy Crush Saga are written in Java. The same is true for much of the proprietary business software that airlines, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies use every day.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Because it’s such a widely used language, companies hire Java programmers under many different job titles. Solutions Developer, JEE Application Developer, Software Engineer and Senior Java Developer are all job titles given to people who program using Java for a living. Companies such as eBay, JP Morgan and Google readily hire productive Java programmers.

Average salary: $102,000

C

Learn C online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 3

What is it: Many people in the programming community consider C to be the grandfather of all modern languages. This is for two reasons, 1) C was developed in the 1970’s, back when some computers were the size entire rooms. 2) Many of today’s languages such as Java, C++ and Python are directly influenced by C. Despite its age C is still heavily used, and will likely remain relevant for many years to come.

C implements a procedure that aims to use as little memory as possible.

Why you should learn it: Most good computer programmers know multiple languages. If you intend to learn more than one also, staring with C is a good idea. As with all things worthwhile, starting with C comes with a rather steep learning curve for some. However, this shouldn’t be a deterrent because you will find that after learning C, picking up more modern languages such as Objective C, C++, PHP, and many others is much easier.

Applications and examples: As you’ve probably realized by now, C is a rather powerful language, it was designed to be this way. Because of its power, C is the perfect language when you need absolute control over your software. This is why it is the backbone for many of today’s most popular operating systems such as Windows, OSX, and Linux. Almost all computerized devices are wholly or partly written in C. From microwaves, remote controllers and calculators to databases and space shuttle controls, the C language is likely used in some capacity.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: As mentioned previously, C is expected to be relevant for many more years. As a result, good jobs are available for superb C programmers. People who program in C may have job titles like operating system programmer, scientific programmer, or systems programmer. Corporate opportunities and research orientated positions are available.

Average salary: $102,000

c++

 Learn C++ online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 5

What is it: For all intents and purposes C++ is C with more features. While both of these technologies are considered general purpose languages, C is usually used for “close to the machine” software like operating systems, whereas C++ is usually used for higher level applications like accounting software or video game engines.

Why you should learn it: For big software projects such as web browsers, computer graphics drivers and financial trading algorithms, C++ is often the first choice. This language adds a feature called object orientated programming which C doesn’t easily support. For this reason C++ may be more appropriate for some task that C would be overly difficult or too time consuming to use.

Applications and examples: The engines that power many of today’s most popular video games such as Call of Duty, Halo, and Fifa are written in C++. Also big budget computer animation studios such as Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks use C++ in some capacity in their animation software. Because of its robustness and speed, C++ is also used to write proprietary high frequency trading algorithms that allow Wall Street firms to trade thousands of shares in fractions of a second.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Graphical user interface developer, game developer and animation programmer are common job titles for people seeking C++ development jobs. Activision, Bank of America and Pixar Studios are all companies who seek talented C++ programmers to help develop in-house software.

Average salary: $104,000

C#

Learn c# online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 3

What is it: C# is a programming language developed in the early 2000’s. It was intended to be a general purpose language for Microsoft products. C# can be used to develop standard Windows software and server side web applications. This language is a part of Microsoft’s .NET family which contains many other languages that are sometimes combines with C# on big projects.

Why you should learn it: If you’re interested in developing Windows specific applications or developing a website which will run on a Windows server, C# is a good choice. Although it’s not as popular as PHP or Java, C# has been slightly rising in popularity every year since its inception.

Applications and examples: Because C# was designed by Microsoft to run on their products, it’s safe to assume web applications such as Bing and MSN use it. C# is also used to make mobile phone applications for the Windows Phone operating system.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Many companies that look to hire .NET programmer are looking for full stack instead of specialized developers. Full stack developers are able to contribute on every aspect of a project from front end to back end. This means that C# positions are available however, you’re more desirable if you know multiple .NET languages.

Average salary: $94,000

Python

Learn Python online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 1

What it is: Python is a general purpose language that first appeared in the 1990’s. This language was designed to be highly readable making it very easy for beginners. Despite its relatively small learning curve, it still packs the power do very cool stuff like scientific computing, web development and 3D rendering.

Why you should learn it: You’d want to learn Python if you’re looking to jump straight into programming with relative ease. Unlike lower level languages such as C or Java, Python can be picked up at a rather fast pace. This makes Python an extremely beginner friendly language.

Applications and examples: Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit are all examples of what Python is capable of. Because these applications have become so big, many more technologies are now involved, however Python played a major role in starting these sites.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Because Python is useful in many different situations; there are jobs available in just about every market. Titles such as Data Analyst, Network Security Developer, Web Application Developer and IT Auditor are common. Companies such as Google and YouTube are always on the hunt for top notch Python programmers.

Average salary: $107,000

JavaScript

Learn Javascript online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 2

What is it: People who are new to computer programming often don’t know there is a difference between Java and JavaScript. This language was originally called ECMAScript, however due to Java’s popularity at the time, the creators changed the name to attract more people. Apart from the name, these languages have very little in common.

Why you should learn it: If you’re interested in frontend web design you should learn JavaScript. It is used to add interactivity to web pages. Pages without JavaScript are rather bland, whereas JavaScript laced sites allow for animations and better control over the web interface. Even though it is primarily used for front end development, frameworks like Node.js allow programmers to write backend software too.

Applications and Examples: JavaScript is used by 88% of all websites. When you considered how many websites are available online, you’ll realize 88% is a lot. Odds are when you use pages that have hover effects, drop down menus, and other page animations it uses JavaScript in some capacity.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: JavaScript programmers are called front end developers, web/user interface designers, and internet application engineers. Both small companies like Stuller Inc and larger companies like Samsung seek JavaScript experts.

Average salary: $99,000

PHP

Learn PHP online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 2

What is it: PHP is another C decedent; in fact PHP is written using the C language. As a result, it inherits some of C’s power. Languages like C are normally used for lower level development, whereas PHP is designed to make web applications like Facebook.

Why you should learn it: If you have an idea for a new website, languages such as PHP are much more practical than C or C++. For this reason, PHP is the perfect language for people who want to go from no experience to developing web application in a short amount of time.

Applications and examples: PHP is used on over two hundred million websites which shows you how popular this language truly is. It is even used on some of the world’s most visited sites such as Yahoo and Wordpress.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Since there are so many sites written in PHP, people who are available to maintain and upgrade them are always in demand. While standard jobs do exist for PHP developers, freelancing this skill maybe a better option. Once you’ve become proficient with PHP, you will easily be able to exchange your skills for money.

Average salary: $89,000

Ruby

Learn Ruby online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 2

What is it: Ruby (like Python) is a powerful yet easy to learn programming language. Even though Ruby has been around roughly as long as Python, it didn’t become popular until its Rails framework was developed. In computer programming a framework is an addition to a language which makes doing certain task faster or easier. Rails is a framework which makes web development in Ruby extremely intuitive.

Why you should learn it: As previously mentioned Ruby is very similar to Python. However Ruby is known for having a style which some programs find unappealing, as a result Python is often given the edge over Ruby. This shouldn’t be considered a flaw because as the developer of Ruby pointed out, everyone’s style is different so some programmers may prefer Ruby over Python or vice versa. For this reason you are encouraged to try Ruby and determine if it fits your style.

Applications and examples: Metasploit and Twitter are two totally different applications programmed in Ruby. Metasploit is the most popular information security tool used by many individuals and companies for security purposes. Twitter is the world famous social media website which was originally developed with Ruby using its Rails framework.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: While some jobs do exist for pure Ruby programmers, a majority of positions are for Rails programmers. These programmers usually work at start ups and mid-sized companies because Rails is often used as a website prototyping language.

Average salary: $107,000

SQL

Learn SQL online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 3

What is it: SQL is considered a special purpose programming language. Special purpose languages, as the name implies are used for specific purposes as opposed to general-purpose languages like the others mentioned so far. SQL was designed to allow programmers to easily manage data held in database systems.

Why you should learn it: If you’re interested in managing a database you should be interested in learning SQL. This language comes in many different dialects; however once you are proficient in one, picking up others becomes trivial.

Application and examples: Systems such as MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL are used all over to keep hospitals, businesses, governments, and banks organized. Unless you are the database admin you won’t come in contact with the database directly. The user will use software or web applications which will fetch the information from the database that they require.

Average salary: 102,000

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: Unlike other programming jobs which have many different titles, usually people who use SQL on a daily bases are called database administrators. From organizing patient records to keeping a car parts inventory, every business can benefit from a database system; this means many jobs are available for database administrators

Objective - C

Learn Objective C online <click for course details.

Difficulty: 3

What is it: Objective-C can be considered the C# of the OSx and iOS world. The Apple computer company released Objective-C in the 1980’s when it was still a relatively young company. Since then Objective-C has become the de facto language for software developed for Apple products including the iPhone and iPod.

Why you should learn it: If you’re interested in writing applications for MacBooks, iPhones or iPads you will have to use Objective-C. Unlike open source languages like C, which canbe freely used without question, Objective-C is proprietary, meaning you must follow rules and guidelines dictated by Apple.1

Applications and examples: When you’re using an Apple product the applications that are running on it are developed using Objective-C. IPhone apps such as Uber, Instagram and SnapChat all rely on Objective-C to run smoothly.

Job titles/companies that need such programmers: IPhone application development companies old and new look for Objective-C programmers. Apple is currently rolling out a newer language called Swift which is intended to replace Objective-C. Despite this, Objective-C is still a marketable skill because it is so popular; it’s still likely to remain relevant for many more years.

Average salary: $107,000
