Software overview


The most relevant software to my major project theme is of course - Python.

(python.org, 2022)



Python is a high-level, object oriented, versatile software, which is a tool for programmers to develop programs, build websites, carry out data analysis, solve mathematical equations or automate tasks (codeinstitute, 2022).

The software is an open-source software, quite successful on the market. Its main competitors are:

  • PHP
  • JavaScript
  • Java
  • Ruby
  • C#
  • Swift
  • R
The minimum hardware requirements according to for using this software are as below:
  1. Modern Operating System (Windows 7 or higher, Mac OS X 10.11 or higher)
  2. x86 64-bit CPU (Intel or AMD architecture)
  3. 4 GB RAM
  4. 8GB Free Disk Space

  This is the main window inside Python software. On the top left corner you can see the name of the file along with ' .py ' which is python's files extension. Next to it, a file path is located (describes where the file is locate within the hard drive) Below you can see a tab with a few options such as file, edit, format, run, options, window and help. This is an example of python's code. As you can see, certain words have particular colours. For example, orange means that python recognizes a keyword. purple means an in-built function is triggered. Colour green means that a message will be displayed to the user. The numbers on the left tell you which line the code is written in. The number in the bottom right corner followed by "Ln:" informs the python's user of the amount of lines written in current file.
