Working with Modules
Python modules are reusable code that can be imported into your Python program to extend its functionality.
Example: Importing the math
Module
import math
print(math.pi) # Output: 3.141592653589793
Modules can also be imported as specific functions or classes, rather than the entire module.
Example: Importing the sqrt
Function from the math
Module
from math import sqrt
print(sqrt(16)) # Output: 4.0
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Concepts
Python supports object-oriented programming through its classes and instances.
Example: Defining a Simple Class
class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, model):
self.brand = brand
self.model = model
my_car = Car("Toyota", "Camry")
print(my_car.brand) # Output: Toyota
print(my_car.model) # Output: Camry
File Input/Output and Persistence
Python provides various ways to read and write data from files.
Example: Reading a Text File
with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
contents = file.read()
print(contents)
Example: Writing Data to a JSON File
import json
data = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
with open("person.json", "w") as file:
json.dump(data, file)
Regular Expressions and Text Processing
Python's re
module provides support for regular expressions.
Example: Finding All Occurrences of a Pattern
import re
text = "Hello world! Hello again!"
pattern = r"Hello"
matches = re.findall(pattern, text)
print(matches) # Output: ['Hello', 'Hello']
Data Structures: Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries, Sets
Python has various built-in data structures that can be used to store and manipulate data.
Example: Creating a List
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits[0]) # Output: apple
Example: Using the dict
Class for a Dictionary
person = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
print(person["name"]) # Output: John
Advanced Data Types: Numpy, Pandas
Python's NumPy and Pandas libraries provide support for numerical and data analysis tasks.
Example: Using the numpy
Library to Perform Basic Arithmetic Operations
import numpy as np
numbers = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
result = numbers * 2
print(result) # Output: [ 2 4 6 8 10]
Example: Using the pandas
Library to Create and Manipulate DataFrames
import pandas as pd
data = {"Name": ["John", "Mary", "David"], "Age": [30, 25, 40]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df) # Output:
# Name Age
# 0 John 30
# 1 Mary 25
# 2 David 40
Multithreading and Concurrency
Python's threading
module provides support for multithreading.
Example: Using the threading
Module to Create Multiple Threads
import threading
def print_numbers(n):
for i in range(1, n + 1):
print(i)
threads = []
for i in range(5):
thread = threading.Thread(target=print_numbers, args=(10,))
threads.append(thread)
thread.start()
# Wait for all threads to finish
for thread in threads:
thread.join()
Decorators and Metaclasses
Python's decorators and metaclasses provide a way to extend the functionality of classes and functions.
Example: Using a Decorator to Log Function Calls
import functools
def log_calls(func):
@functools.wraps(func)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
print(f"Calling {func.__name__} with args: {args}, kwargs: {kwargs}")
return func(*args, **kwargs)
return wrapper
@log_calls
def add(a, b):
return a + b
print(add(2, 3)) # Output:
# Calling add with args: (2, 3), kwargs: {}
# Output: 5
This comprehensive tutorial has covered various advanced topics in Python programming. We have explored working with modules, object-oriented programming concepts, file input/output and persistence, regular expressions and text processing, data structures, advanced data types, multithreading and concurrency, and decorators and metaclasses.
I hope this tutorial has provided you with a deeper understanding of the capabilities and applications of the Python programming language. Happy coding!
