Python Programming
Language

• The high-level language is a type of programming

language designed to simplify computer programming.
• Memory-safe languages let programmers focus on quality
code, avoiding risks of low-level memory management.
• Programming language expertise is essential in the rapidly
changing field of computer engineering.
• White House urges developers to avoid C and C++, use
'memory-safe' programming languages
• The NSA list of memory safe programming languages has
been updated to reflect v1.1 of the information sheet.
Python
Programming Uses

How to Install
Python on
Windows

There are three installation methods

on Windows:
• The Microsoft Store
• The full installer
• Windows Subsystem for Linux
How to Check Your
Python Version on
Windows
• To check if you already have Python on your
Windows machine, first open a command-line
application, such as PowerShell.
• How to Check Your Python Version on
Windows
• To check if you already have Python on your
Windows machine, first open a command-line
application, such as PowerShell.
Tip: Here’s how you
open PowerShell:

TO TRY:

• Press the Win key.

• Type PowerShell.
• Press Enter.
• Alternatively, you can right-click
the Start button and select Windows
PowerShell or Windows PowerShell
(Admin).
• You can also use cmd.exe or Windows
Terminal.
 TO TRY:

With the command line open, type in the following

command and press Enter:

Command Prompt Windows Command Prompt

C:\> python --version

Python 3.8.4

Python Releases for Windows | Python.org

 TO TRY:

Using the --version switch will show you the version that’s installed.
Alternatively, you can use the -V switch:

Alternative
Command
Windows Command Prompt

C:\> python -V
Python 3.8.4 (3.12.4 is the one which I have installed)

Note: If you don’t have a version of Python on your system, then

both of the above commands will launch the Microsoft Store and
redirect you to the Python application page. You’ll see how to
complete the installation from the Microsoft Store in the next
section.
Ways to install

TO TRY: Check which version of Install or update Python Use Python on mobile Use Python on the Web Python 3 Installation & Se
Python, if any, is installed on Windows, macOS, devices like phones or with online interpreters tup Guide – Real Python
on your machine and Linux tablets
Online compilers

• Online Python Compiler (Interpreter) (programi

z.com)
• Online Python Compiler - online editor (online
gdb.com)
• Online Python - IDE, Editor, Compiler, Interpre
ter (online-python.com)
Write hello
world program

TO TRY:
• PY4E - Python for Everybody IDE from
coursera may be used.

• The print() function in Python is used to print

Python objects as strings as standard output.

• print("Hello World")
Variables

TO TRY:
• This Python code creates a variable message
and assigns it the value “Hello, World!“. Then,
the print() function is used to print the value of
the message variable to the console.

• message = "Hello, World!"

• print(message)
Expressions in Python

TO TRY:
• An expression is a combination of operators and operands
that is interpreted to produce some other value.
• In any programming language, an expression is evaluated
as per the precedence of its operators.
• So that if there is more than one operator in an expression,
their precedence decides which operation will be
performed first.

• x = 15 + 1.3
• print(x)
Python Conditions and
If statements

• Python supports the usual logical conditions

from mathematics:
• Equals: a == b
• Not Equals: a != b
• Less than: a < b
• Less than or equal to: a <= b
• Greater than: a > b
• Greater than or equal to: a >= b
Python Conditions and
If statements

TO TRY:
• a = 33
• b = 200
• if b > a:
• print("b is greater than a")

• Note: Tab space preceding print is necessary

Creating a Function

• A function is a block of code which only runs

when it is called.

• In Python a function is defined using the

defkeyword:

• TO TRY:
• def my_function():
• print("Hello from a function")
Calling a Function
To call a function, use the function
name followed by parenthesis:

TO TRY:

def my_function():

print("Hello from a function")

my_function()
Loops in Python

• Python programming language provides

two types of loops – For loop and While
loop to handle looping requirements.

TO TRY:
• count = 0
• while (count < 3):
• count = count + 1
• print("Hello friends")
While loop and For
Loop in Python

• A while loop is used to execute a block of

statements repeatedly until a given condition is
satisfied.
• When the condition becomes false, the line
immediately after the loop in the program is
executed.
• For loops are used for sequential traversal.
• For example: traversing
a list or string or array etc.
• In Python, there is “for in” loop which is
like foreach loop in other languages.
For loop example
• n=4
• for i in range(0, n):
• print(i)

• Output:
• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3

NUMPY

• Numpy is a scientific computing package that helps to

create datasets to test with the time series data in IoT.
Numpy features are used in IoT to read sensor bulk data
from the database inbuilt functions in the system

• SOCKETS AND MYSQLDB

• Sockets that facilitate networking in IoT devices include
TCP/IP and UDP, which are compatible to work with
Python packages. TCP/IP and UDP act as transport layer
protocols for communication. The MySQLdb is a go-to
relational format database that helps in the development
of remote stores for the IoT system.
MATPLOTLIB

• To get data insights, matplotlib visualizes the most

paramount operations by giving a variety of graphs to
represent the data.

• REQUESTS, TKINTER AND TENSORFLOW

• To make HTTP calls and parse responses in Python, the
request package acts as a major protocol for data
exchanges. Tkinter GUI puts the aspects of Python script
in a controlled distribution, which enables functional
testing and repeated executions in IoT Python devices.
Therefore, the numerical computations of machine
learning initiated into the IoT systems utilize the
representation in data flow graphs dealing with huge non-
linear datasets and deep learning aspects.
IOT DEVICES USED TO
DEVELOP APPLICATIONS IN
IOT

• Raspberry Pi Model 3
• Intel Edison
• Arduino
IOT SENSORS SIMULATORS USED IN PYTHON
PROGRAMMING INCLUDE:
MQ TELEMETRY TRANSPORT (MQTT) SENSOR
SIMULATOR
• MQTT protocol for the IoT in Python enables high-speed
data exchange with low payload communication between
the devices. User-friendly requests of MQTT are made
directly in Python. Data is collected in real-time and easily
analyzed in mathematical computation libraries like
matplotlib. The diagram below shows the steps used for
the data flow:

-internet-of-things

•Data logging using MQTT (install using pip install paho-

mqtt) Python is displayed below:
•import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
•#Callback
•for received data from server
•def on_connect(data_iot, user, events):
• print(“connected with code” +
str(events))
•data = mqtt.Client()
•Data.on_connect = on_connect
•Data.on_message = on_message
•data.loop_forever()
•For instance, the MQTT protocol is used to send data of a
light bulb and install required dependencies and libraries as
indicated below:

•
AZURE IOT SDK IN
PYTHON

• Azure IoT hub offers a variety of features for IoT SDK usage which
provides the ability to connect devices and services. The IoT SDK is
supported by the MQTT protocol which facilitates the data exchange
processes. The device requirements to be used along with Python include:

• Python version 3.7+: helps in both asynchronous and synchronous API

• Azure-iot-device library

• The IoT hub SDK helps with the following aspects: access, processing,
and analysis of data for machine learning applications.
• The Azure IoT hub helps collect messages and feedback data collected by
IoT devices and is displayed in the code below:
COUNTLY IOT
RASPBERRY PI SDK

•Sending data and visualizing data on a dashboard is simplified by involving

the Countly IoT Pi SDK, which relies on internet connectivity for efficient and
effective data insights from the device.
The code below is used to start the process of collecting data using Countly
IoT Pi SDK in Python. Install by running: pip install Raspberry_SDK:
•from Raspberry_SDK.Countly
•import Countly
•#intiate the SDK
•Countly = Countly(“SERVER_URL”, “APP_KEY”, 0)
•#Send an event
•countly.event(“NAME”, VALUE)
•Countly SDK also helps to retrieve data events for both analog and digital
circuits. Use case of Countly IoT Raspberry Pi SDK is applicable
in temperature room measuring and Bulb light. For instance, the server gets
to pass the application key to collect the data and data is being manipulated
by GroveAPI for raspberry IoT as displayed below:
