Course Outcome:
After learning the course, the student will be able:
 To develop proficiency in creating based applications using the Python Programming Language.
 To be able to understand the various data structures available in Python programming language and
apply them in solving computational problems.
 To be able to do testing and debugging of code written in Python.
 To be able to draw various kinds of plots using PyLab.
 To be able to do text filtering with regular expressions in Python
 To be able to create socket applications in Python
 To be able to create GUI applications in Python
Following guideline is to be kept in mind while framing the list:
 At least 25 programs are to be assigned.

 Programs should cover particular feature from syntactic concepts together with advanced topics and
definition based on real life problem.
 Practical list should cover entire syllabus.
 List of Experiments :
1. Develop programs to understand the control structures of python
2. Develop programs to learn different types of structures (list, dictionary, tuples) in python
3. Develop programs to learn concept of functions scoping, recursion and list mutability.
4. Develop programs to understand working of exception handling and assertions.
5. Develop programs for data structure algorithms using python – searching, sorting and hash
tables.
6. Develop programs to learn regular expressions using python.
7. Develop chat room application using multithreading.
8. Learn to plot different types of graphs using PyPlot.
9. Implement classical ciphers using python.
10. Draw graphics using Turtle.
11. Develop programs to learn GUI programming using Tkinter.
Major Equipments:
 Latest PCs with related software
List of Open Source Software/learning website:
 Turtle - https://docs.python.org/2/library/turtle.html
 PyLab - https://scipy.github.io/old-wiki/pages/PyLab
ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Preparation of power-point slides: which include videos,

animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work. The faculty will allocate
chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus can be covered. The power-point
slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the
group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should
submit to GTU.
