| ==== Why Python ? ==== ==== Knowing syntax vs programming ==== ==== Inbuilt types and classes ==== int, float, str, list and dict ==== Classes and sub-classes ==== ==== Repetiton and Decisions ==== ==== Functions ==== ==== Modules and Packages ==== ==== Standard libraries ==== Not all of them ! In practice math and random are the most commonly with {{{ScrumPy}}}. sys and os are also useful - any other suggestions ? |
