About this Series
Welcome everybody, you must be interested in UI software creation. So in this series we will learn about how to create UI software programs from scratch which contains installing of python, required library and others. So stick to this series and have fun.
Requirements
- Knowledge of Python basics.
- Good understanding of programming concepts.
- Motivation
UI Software with Python
Creating UI or GUI software programs in python is easy and fast.
Why Python ?
Python is simple and powerful programming language designed and developed By Guido Van Rossum. Python has a huge community base. This community has created library for almost everything.
Installing Python
To install python we need to download it on our machine. NOTE: We will be using python3 for our development. In near future python2 will be out of the market. Further, in this post you will see particular sections for particular OS.
For Windows/Mac
In order to install python3 in our mac or Windows machine we have to download appropriate package from the Python’s official website, you can find it here Python3 Download. Please do not download it from unauthorized sources.
Once download is completed, double-click on downloaded packages to initiate the process. You will see a pop like the image below. Just do recommend for the usual installation of the package.
“If you have deep understanding of OS than you can do some customization in installing paths or other options”, if you are beginner than just stick to the default options.
Once the installation is finished you are ready to rock. To test the installation, open a new terminal or CMD whichever is available. Then type python or python3, this will open an interactive python shell.
print('Hello world!')
Then press enter. You should see something like this
Hello world!
That’s it we are done for this post. In next post we will install required library and will write some sample programs. You can access next post from here. Happy coding bye.
