To complete remove Python from the Windows machine, uninstall it, remove the path and the remaining files if still present on the system. Uninstall Python To uninstall Python, go to START, type Python. Click Uninstall − After clicking Uninstall, the following screen is visible. To uninstall Python, you need to uninstall these two − Right-click each one by one and press Uninstall − It is uninstalling − Python uninstalled successfully Remove Files Even after uninstalling Python, sometimes the installation files remain in the system itself. Do not worry about them. Reach the folder wherein we ... Read More

The Global Interpretor Lock is a mutex in Python. Let’s first understand what is a Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) − What is a GIL? The global interpreter lock, or GIL, is a mutex that − Protects access to Python objects, Prevents multiple threads from executing Python bytecodes at once. Prevents race conditions. Ensures thread safety. The Python interpreter is not fully thread-safe. In order to support multi-threaded Python programs, there’s a global lock, called the global interpreter lock or GIL. Without the lock, even the simplest operations could cause problems in a multi-threaded program: for example, when two ... Read More

With Python, we can also create Web Applications. Python provides multiple frameworks for the web development. Let us see some them which are widely used. Django Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it takes care of much of the hassle of web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. Django is an MVT web framework that is used to build web applications. The huge Django webframework comes with so many batteries included that developers often get amazed as to ... Read More

To create a .pyc file in Python, use the PyCompile. The official documentation even suggests the same as shown below − The py_compile module The py_compile module provides a function to generate a byte-code file from a source file, and another function used when the module source file is invoked as a script. The py_compile.compile() compile a source file to byte-code and write out the byte-code cache file. Now, let us see the example import py_compile py_compile.compile("demo.py") Use the py_compile.main() import py_compile py_compile.main(['File1.py', 'File2.py', 'File3.py']) The compileall module The compileall module provides some utility functions to support ...

To make an executable from a Python script, you need to install the PyInstaller library. Install the PyInstaller Library To install the PyInstaller library, use the pip in Python. Type the below command on Command Prompt and press Enter − pip install pyinstaller Our Python Script Let’s say we have the following Python Script, wherein we have displayed checkbox using Tkinter. Our file Demo.py is saved on the Desktop with the path − C:\Users\hp\Desktop\Demo.py Example Here’s the code of Demo.py. import tkinter from tkinter import * top = tkinter.Tk() CheckVar1 = IntVar() CheckVar2 = IntVar() C1 = ...

The coding standards i.e., the style guide for Python are provided by a document called PEP8. The PEP8 is Python Enhancement Proposal 8. It is a document that provides coding conventions for the Python code. Here’s the style guide − Naming Conventions The following are the currently recommended naming standard. Avoid These Names Never use the characters ‘l’ (lowercase letter el), ‘O’ (uppercase letter oh), or ‘I’ (uppercase letter eye) as single character variable names. Package and Module Names Modules should have short, all-lowercase names. Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability. Python packages should ... Read More

To test a Python program, use the unittest module in Pygthon. The doctest and unittest modules or third-party test frameworks can be used to construct exhaustive test suites that exercise every line of code in a module. The doctest module The doctest module searches for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions, and then executes those sessions to verify that they work exactly as shown. The unittest module The unittest module supports test automation, sharing of setup and shutdown code for tests, aggregation of tests into collections, and independence of the tests from the reporting framework. Before moving ... Read More

Python allow commas at the end of lists and tuples. It is optional and makes the items more readable and you can reorder the items without getting any error. You don’t need to remember again and again to add a trailing comma after every item, if you add a comma in the end. Let’s see some examples − Lists Example In this example, we will add a trailing comma in the List and there won’t be any error − # Creating a List myList = ["Jacob", "Harry", "Mark", "Anthony", ] # Displaying the List print("List = ", myList) ...

The colon is required for all these keywords, if, while, def, class, etc in Python to enhance readability. The colon makes it easier for editors with syntax highlighting i.e. they can look for colons to decide when indentation needs to be increased. Let’s see an example of an if statement − if a == b print(a) And, if a == b: print(a) The 2nd example is easier to read, understand and indent. This makes the usage of colon quite popular. The def and if keyword example We have an if statement in ... Read More

Python definitely has a with statement. It wraps the execution of a block, calling code on the entrance and exit from the block. Some languages have a construct like the below − with obj: a = 1 total = total + 1 The above a = 1 is equivalent to the following − obj.a = 1 And, total = total + 1 is equivalent to − obj.total = obj.total + 1 Programming Languages use static or dynamic types. Static Type Static refers to the execution of a program where type of object is ... Read More
