How to Use Python

In this post I will try to explain how I started using PYTHON to solve everyday work needs.

You can go to Python Official site - https://www.python.org/ - and dowload the latest packages for you operating system:

However, some programs already come with a python console included - that is the case of QGIS (Quantum GIS). That is how I started to code in python - with QGIS -  http://www.qgis.org/en/site/

QGIS is a Open-Source desktop GIS - it is a computer software which is really very useful for hydrologists and hydraulic engineers. And it is continuosly evolving, getting better in every new version. At the time of thise post, the current version is the 2.12 - Lyon.

QGIS has depository of plugins - users make their own plugins and share with the community. And these plugins are all python coded.

QGIS comes with a python console. And with a code editor. And there is where the show begins!!

Upcoming posts will show reference material, screenshots, and a lot of examples.
