Learn Python with ChatGPT

Install Python from python.org, choose the base language, consider distributions like Anaconda or WinPython, and add the Python executable to your path to run hello world.

Discover the Windows Terminal and learn how to run commands, locate Python on your system path with the where command, and manage multiple Python versions installed.

Edit the system and user environment variables on Windows to add Python and the scripts folder to the path, then verify the version with Python --version.

Explore winpython for windows by downloading a zip from the winpython GitHub page, version 3.15 or 3.13. Install includes a command prompt, winpython interpreter, VSCode, and Jupyter Lab and Notebook.

Start Python with the interpreter, verify WinPython installation, clear the shell, print hello world, and fix quotes or define hello as a string or variable with ChatGPT guidance.

Learn how to use ChatGPT on your desktop to debug locally on Windows, using the Alt+Space shortcut and screenshots to review terminal errors.

Learn how Python handles data types, integers, floating point numbers, and strings, with examples like x = 42 and pi = 3.14, and fix string concatenation using the str function.

Explore lists and dictionaries in Python, define a list variable, access elements with zero-based indexing like t[0], and learn common list methods such as append, insert, and remove.

Define a dictionary with curly braces and key-value pairs like temperature and pressure. Access values by keys, not indices, and remember dictionaries are unordered, unlike lists.

Explore loops in Python, with conditions and functions, by writing your program in an editor. Iterate over words like banana, oranges, and apples, printing each word and its length.

Explore conditions in Python by defining a variable, testing if it is greater than two, and printing the value or none accordingly.

Learn to switch from the interpreter to scripting by saving code in test.py with notepad and running python test.py to print list elements.

Learn to define and call a Python function in a script, with proper indentation, modular code, and running from the command line using built-in functions like print and str.

Explore Python's standard modules, learn how to import them with import and from statements, and use the math module to compute square roots, while noting explicit is better than implicit.

Practice using the urlopen function from the url lib dot request submodule, import the OS module, open a weather map URL, and read the page with res.read.

Learn how to create and use a user-defined module in Python by editing a file, running it from a terminal, importing it in another script, and calling its function.

Learn to install packages from PyPI with pip in the terminal and distinguish modules from packages. Install numpy and pandas, resolve dependencies, and import them in Python with common aliases.

Explore a browser-based development environment with ChatGPT canvas for writing and running python code, install packages locally, and learn pandas basics like sorting, filtering, and adding rows and columns.

Explore Jupyter notebooks and Jupyter Lab in the browser for Python coding, writing and executing live runnable code in notebook cells, using markdown, and rendering matplotlib plots for shareable work.

Discover Visual Studio Code as a versatile Python editor for notebooks and scripts, with ipynb support, ipykernel installation, matplotlib rendering, and an integrated terminal.
