Python

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation via the off-side rule.

Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a 'batteries included' language due to its comprehensive standard library.

Hints

Show a list of all installed modules

import os
import sys

for dir in sys.path:
    if os.path.isdir(dir):
        for file in os.listdir(dir):
            print(file)

Redirect stderr to stdout in the current shell

NOTE:

This is very helpful when using online compilers like Ideone.com.

import sys

sys.stderr = sys.stdout

Provide a lightweight HTTP server

python -m 'http.server' 8000 --bind '127.0.0.1' --directory "${HOME}/web"

NOTE:

By default, server binds itself to all interfaces. The option -b / --bind specifies a specific address to which it should bind.

NOTE:

By default, server uses the current directory. The option -d / --directory specifies a directory to which it should serve the files.
