Python is an object-oriented, high-level programming language with integrated dynamic semantics primarily for web and app development. It is extremely attractive in the field of Rapid Application Development because it offers dynamic typing and dynamic binding options. It is simple, so it’s easy to learn since it requires a unique syntax that focuses on readability.
While languages such as C and C++ are compile (i.e. turn directly into computer code), it has not use by the Python interpreter. This does mean that Python is slower than the C and C++ languages. However, Python — and most of its libraries — are cross-platform, which means the code written on a Windows machine requires little or no change to run on a Mac OS or Linux.
What is Raspberry Pi?
A Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer originally design for education. It is low cost, credit_card sized computer plugs into a computer monitor or TV and use standard keyboard and mouse. It helps to improve programming skills and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python understanding at the pre-university level. But thanks to its small size and accessible price, it is quickly adopt by tinkerers, makers, and electronics enthusiasts for projects that require more than a basic microcontroller (such as Arduino devices).
On the Raspberry Pi, the only library that is not cross-platform for obvious reasons is the RPI. GPIO library which allows your Python programs to access the GPIO. Yes, that’s right! Python can be use to access GPIO and this results in the combination of object orientation and microcontroller capabilities into one platform. In Raspbian, there are a number of Python IDEs install by default but the simplest one to use is the official Python 3 IDLE. So, use that to write your first Python program!
Why Python Is Use In Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi Foundation recommends Python as a language for learners. Any language which will compile for ARMv6 can be use with the Raspberry Pi, though. C, C++, Java, Scratch, and Ruby all are pre-install by default on the Raspberry Pi. So they just recommend it for virtually no reason at all. They kind of seem to have missed PERL on that list though. But then again it is probably true that Python is easier to pick up on than PERL.
There are other OS’s available to the raspberry pi on the ROM site. The main reason why python have prefer to be used on the raspberry pi is that it is a lab-on-a-chip. It is more used for educational propose more than anything. Where we all know python is a fairly easy language to pick up. We can find many libraries in python. The library enable functionality and books on how to use other languages on the raspberry pi like c/c++.
