Chapter Summary
In this chapter, we’ve looked at common ways to launch Python programs: by running code typed interactively, and by running code stored in files with system command lines, file-icon clicks, module imports, exec calls, and IDE GUIs such as IDLE. We’ve covered a lot of pragmatic startup territory here. This chapter’s goal was to equip you with enough information to enable you to start writing some code, which you’ll do in the next part of the book. There, we will start exploring the Python language itself, beginning with its core data types.
First, though, take the usual chapter quiz to exercise what you’ve learned here. Because this is the last chapter in this part of the book, it’s followed with a set of more complete exercises that test your mastery of this entire part’s topics. For help with the latter set of problems, or just for a refresher, be sure to turn to Appendix B after you’ve given the exercises a try.
