Below applies to Python 2.6 or lower, Python 3 is a good bit different. Python is an object oriented, interpreted language. It is unique in that it requires a user to indent in place of using curly brackets ({..}). Note: that most *nix distributions come with Python by default.

Basics

Basic python syntax

Hello World!

>>> print "HELLO WORLD!"
HELLO WORLD!

Variables

Variable names DO NOT need to begin with a special character, unlike PHP. Variable names CAN, however, be any combination, as long as the word isn't reserved (Ex: and, or, print), of letters and numbers. >>> #Numbers >>> a = 1 #Declare A as 1 >>> b = a+5 #b becomes 6, while a remains 1 >>> a += 5 #a is overwritten, and becomes 6 >>> c = b = a #c and b are overwritten and become 6 >>> #Strings >>> a = "Hello " >>> b = "There" >>> c = a+b #JOIN STRINGS >>> a = "Blue Yellow Green Red".split(" ") #Split the string at every " " >>> a #Output 'a' to the screen, same as print or print() ['Blue', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Red'] #List object, another type of variable >>> .join(a) #Join all the list objects as one 'BlueYellowGreenRed' >>> a = 'Blue Green Yellow Red'[0:4] #This returns the sub-string 'Blue' >>> a = 'Blue Green Yellow Red'[5:] #This returns the sub-string 'Green Yellow Red' >>> a = 'a = 'Blue Green Yellow Red'[::2] #This returns the sub-string Bu re elwRd' >>> #Float >>> a = 88.2 >>> b = 88 >>> print a/25 3.528 >>> print b/25 3 >>> #Other types >>> a = (" ", 355, 256.7, ["Hello", "World"]) >>> type(a) <type 'tuple'> >>> a = {"Hello":"World", "Key":"Value"} >>> type(a) <type 'dict'> >>> a = "Anhero" >>> del a #Its a good idea, if you're making a 'hidden' script, to delete variables after you use them...

Statements

Comparison

 <       Less than
 >       Greater than
 ==      Equal to
 !=      Not equal
 is      Identical
 is not  Not identical
 <=      Less than or equal to
 >=      Greater than or equal to

If

>>> a = 1
>>> b = 2
>>> if a != b:
	print "No!"
 	
No!
>>> a = 1
>>> b = 1
>>> if a == b:
	print "Yes!"
	
Yes!
>>> a = 1
>>> b = 5
>>> if (a == b-len("....")/1) and "a" == "a" or "b" == "b":
	print "Yes!"
 	
Yes!

Loops

While

>>> a = 1
>>> while a < 5: #Note, replacing '<' with '<=' allows it to reach 5, instead of stopping at 4
	print a
	a += 1;

1
2
3
4
>>> a = False;
>>> while a == False:
	print "False"
	a = True;
	
False

For

>>> for x in range(0, 10):
	print x
	
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

consider using xrange when dealing with larger lists, as it creates an iterator, rather than constructing the full list in memory >>> for x in ['Hello', 'world', ',this', 'is', 'a', 'list']: print x

Hello
world
,this
is
a
list
