Python Orientation

Python Programming controls The flow of program will be controlled with conditional statements where this flow  if condition if-else condition if-elif condition while loop while - else loop for loop for with if- else loop if condition Here I would like to work on program control statements, wherein relate some operating system functionalities so that, this would give some basic prototype for the sys admin scripts. #!/usr/bin/python # This illustrate if condition # Filename : ifex.py import os d=os.listdir('/home/pavanbsd/pybin') print d f='ifex.py' if f in d: print "File exists" else: print "Not found..." if-elif-else ladder No worries, coming soon... When you need the task that need to be done repeatedly then your choice is using loops. Python provides two simple loop constructs easy to use! More powerful then other scripting compare to, it has 'else' block. while loop Understand the power of while loop,...

Python Sets Python Maps examples A mapping object maps hashable values to arbitrary objects. Mappings are mutable objects. There is currently only one standard mapping type, the dictionary. Dictionaries consist of pairs (called items) of keys and their corresponding values. Dictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of key: value pairs within curly braces Keys are unique within a dictionary while values may not be. The values of a dictionary can be of any type, but the keys must be of an immutable data type such as strings, numbers, or tuples. Python Set Operations and methods Python Set methods continueed >>> SET={'new','old','list','new'} >>> SET set(['new', 'old', 'list']) Lets play with set operations, it is more like school math here... >>> s={1,2,3,4} >>> k={3,4,5,6} >>> len(s) 4 >>> len(k) 4 >>> 1 in s True >>...
