Learn Python - The Hard Way
=========================

### Overview

Set of simple programs written during learning **basics of Python** language based on *[Learn Python - The Hard Way](http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/)* course. All tasks can be found in *exercises* directory. In the same directory, we can found another `README.md` file including list of all tasks. Moreover, this `README.md` file includes **important and essential information concerning programming in Python**. You can also read [a short article about this project on my blog](http://wittchen.io/2015/09/01/learning-python/).

### Requirements
* Windows, Linux or Mac OS X
* Python 2.7
* Pip (Python Package Manager)

### Installing Python
* on Linux: Most of the Linux distributions should have installed Python by default
* on Windows: Download Python at: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and run installer
* on Mac OS X: Download Python at: https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/

### Executing Python scripts from terminal
* on Linux: Most of the Linux distributions should have enabled Python by default, so simply open terminal and type *python* to see if everything works.
* on Windows: add `/PythonXX` (e.g. `C:/Python27`) into `Path` environmental variable. Location of the Python directory depends on your configuration. Next, re-run terminal window and type `python`
* in order to check installed version of the Python, type: `python --version`
* in order to exit python console type `exit()`

### Pip
Pip is a Python Package Manager.

#### Installing Pip on Windows
1. Download: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py script
2. Execute: `python get-pip.py`
3. *pip.exe* and *easy_install.exe* files now should be located at: */PythonXX/Scripts* (e.g. *C:/Python27/Scripts*)
4. Add */PythonXX/Scripts* (e.g. *C:/Python27/Scripts*) directory into *Path* environmental variable.
5. Re-run terminal window
6. Type `pip`, to check if package manager works
7. You can type `pip --version`, in order to check version of the pip

#### Installing Pip on Linux
1. Open terminal
2. Type `sudo apt-get install python-pip`

#### Installing Pip on macOS
1. Open terminal
2. Type `brew install python3`

This command will install python and pip.

#### Using Pip
* In order to install desired package just type `pip install desired_package` (e.g. `pip install Flask`)
* If you are working on Linux, type `sudo pip install desired_package` (e.g. `sudo pip install Flask`)
* Index of available packages can be found at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
* List of installed packages can be displayed with `pip freeze` command.

### Unit Testing
* UT in Python can be done with [nose](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose/). Install it via pip with the following command: `sudo pip install nose`
* UT can be also created with [unittest](https://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html) package provided with Python.

### Virtualenv

`virtualenv` is a tool to create isolated Python environments.

More information:
* [Official docs and user guide](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/)
* [Overview on PyPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv)
* [Virtualenv tutorial](http://simononsoftware.com/virtualenv-tutorial/)
* [A primer on virtualenv](http://iamzed.com/2009/05/07/a-primer-on-virtualenv/)
* [Virtual Environments on Python Guide](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/)

### Pipenv

`pipenv` is Python Development Workflow for Humans.

It automatically creates and manages a virtualenv for your projects, as well as adds/removes packages from your Pipfile as you install/uninstall packages.

More information:
* https://github.com/pypa/pipenv

### Pyenv

[pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/) is a simple Python version management.

### Scripts on Linux

If we want to create a Python script for Linux, we should set the following header:

```python
#!/usr/bin/python -u

# your Python script code goes here...
```

After that when our script was saved in `script.py` file, we can execute our script as follows:

```
./script.py
```

### Style Guide for Python Code

**PEP 0008** is a current Style Guide for Python Code.
