Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to install Python on the Windows and Linux operating systems. We reviewed the main data structures and collections, such as lists, tuples, and dictionaries. We also reviewed functions, managing exceptions, and how to create classes and objects, as well as the use of attributes and special methods. Then we looked at development environments and a methodology to introduce into programming with Python. Finally, we reviewed the main development environments, PyCharm and PythonIDLE, for script development in Python.
In the next chapter, we will explore programming system packages for working with operating systems and filesystems, threads, and concurrency.
