Python Basics Overview

Python is widely used for automation, log processing, API interaction, data analysis and small security utilities. This module focuses on the language features needed to read and build understandable scripts.

You will learn

• Running Python and using the interactive interpreter.
• Variables and common data types.
• Conditions and loops.
• Functions and reusable logic.
• Safe file reading and writing.
• Small local challenges.

You do not need previous programming experience. Type the examples yourself, change one thing at a time, and read error messages carefully. Security code should be explicit about scope, input and failure conditions.
