Objects
In the real world, objects have:
 Things that you can do to them
(actions)
 Words that describe them
(properties)
In Python:
 “Things that you can do” to an
object are called methods.
 “Words that describe” an object
are called attributes.

Objects
If this truly spectacular car was an object named
myCar, it might have these attributes:
myCar.color
myCar.maxspeed
myCar.electricityUsage
myCar.weight
myCar.price
You can display them:
print myCar.price
You can assign values to them:
myCar.color = ‘red’
You can assign them to attributes in other objects:
anotherCar.color = myCar.color

Objects
The car might have these methods:
myCar.drive()
myCar.wash()
myCar.charge()
myCar.tuneUp()
Methods are the things you can do with an object.
Methods are chunks of code – functions – that are
included inside the object.

Objects
In Python, a class is like a description – or
blueprint – of an object.
class Tesla:
color = ‘red’
size = ‘full-size’
type = ‘luxury’
manufacturer = ‘Tesla_Motors’
direction = ‘’
def drive(self_in_circles):
if self.direction == ‘north’:
self.direction == ‘west’
elif self.direction == ‘west’:
self.direction == ‘south’
elif self.direction == ‘south’:
self.direction == ‘east’
else:
self.direction == ‘north’

Modules
 A module is a block of code that can be combined with other blocks to build a
program.
 You can use different combinations of modules to do different jobs, just like
you can combine the same LEGO blocks in many different ways.
 Python has a lot of functions that come built-in
 GitHub also has extensive user-contributed Python libraries
 There’s no reason to invent the wheel! If someone has created a module that
accomplishes a specific task you needed to accomplish, there’s no reason for
you to put forth the effort.

Modules
 Generate a random number
between 1 – 100:
 Raise 2 to the power of 3
 Get the current time
 Find the first match, if any, of the
regular expression pattern in the
given text string
>>> import random
>>> print random.randint(1, 100)
61
>>> import math
>>> print math.pow(2, 3)
8.0
>>> import time
>>> print time.time()
1412237964.76
>>> import re
>>> print re.search(r’ZZZ’, ‘PyTexas 2014!’)
None

List Methods
 A list is a mutable (changeable) sequence of values of any type.
 A list with zero elements is called an empty list.
 List elements are indexed by sequential integers, starting with zero.
print [ ] # the empty list
print [1, 2, 3, 8, 9] # a list of numbers
print [(1,2), ‘hello’, 3, [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]] # a list of a tuple, string, integer, list

range()
Arithmetic progressions list, often used in for loops
>>> print range(5)
>>> print range(1, 10)
>>> print range(-10, 100, 20)
>>> print range(100, -10, -20)
>>> for i in range(5):
print i
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

list.remove() and list.pop()
Removes an item from a list by value; removes an item from a list by position.
a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'b']

print a_list
a_list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
print a_list.pop(1)
print a_list
['a', 'c', 'b']
b
['a', 'c']
If no position is specified for .pop(), it
defaults to the last item.

Dictionaries
 A dictionary is a mutable (changeable) mapping of keys to values.
 A dictionary with no keys is called an empty dictionary.
 Also known as associative memories, associative arrays, or hashmaps.
 Dictionaries are unordered because they are indexed by keys, which can be of any
immutable (unchangeable) type.
 When printed, iterated upon, or converted into a sequence, a dictionary’s elements will
appear in an arbitrary, implementation-dependent order.

Frame
A frame is a window, which is a container for the controls, status information, and canvas.
A program can create only one frame.
# Create frame
# Syntax: simplegui.create_frame(title, canvas_width, canvas_height)
# Syntax: simplegui.create_frame(title, canvas_width, canvas_height, control_width)
frame = simplegui.create_frame('Testing', 100, 100)
frame = simplegui.create_frame('Testing', 200, 200, 300)
# Set the frame’s background color
# Syntax: frame.set_canvas_background(color)
frame.set_canvas_background('Red')
frame.start()
# Start frame’s interactivity
frame.start()

# Syntax: frame.get_canvas_textwidth(text, size)
# Syntax: frame.get_canvas_textwidth(text, size, face)
frame = simplegui.create_frame('Testing', 100, 100) print frame.get_canvas_textwidth('hello', 12)
frame = simplegui.create_frame('Testing', 100, 100) print frame.get_canvas_textwidth('hello', 12, 'sans-serif')

Control Objects
Control objects are placed in the control panel, which is the left-hand part of the frame. They are placed top-down
in the order of creation.

button1 = frame.add_button('Label 1', button_handler)
button2 = frame.add_button('Label 2', button_handler, 50)
# Add text input to the frame control panel
# Syntax: frame.add_input(text, input_handler, width)
inp = frame.add_input('My label', input_handler, 50)

Maps
SimpleMap module provides an interface for drawing and annotating maps. The underlying maps are provided by Google
Maps. Points on the map are referred to by (lat,long). The module uses three kinds of objects: maps, markers, and lines.
# Create map
# Syntax: simplemap.create_map(title, coordinates, map_width, map_height)
# Syntax: simplemap.create_map(title, coordinates, map_width, map_height, control_width)

# Add marker to a map
# Syntax: a_map.add_marker(description, id, icon_url, coordinates, handler)
# Draw line on a map
# Syntax: a_map.draw_line(start_marker, stop_marker)
# Get a set of all markers on a map

Maps, ctd.
SimpleMap module provides an interface for drawing and annotating maps. The underlying maps are provided by Google
Maps. Points on the map are referred to by (lat,long). The module uses three kinds of objects: maps, markers, and lines.
# Clear all lines from the map
# Syntax: a_map.clear_lines()
# Clear everything from the map
# Syntax: a_map.clear()
# Add button control to the map
# Syntax: a_map.add_button(text, handler)
# Syntax: a_map.add_button(text, handler, width)
# Add line break to map control panel
# Syntax: a_map.add_break()

Markers
A marker object corresponds to a drawn marker icon image on the map. Its location is determine by (lat,long).
# Get description of marker
# Syntax: a_marker.get_description()

# Syntax: a_marker.set_icon()
# Remove marker from map
# Syntax: a_marker.remove()

Lines
A line object corresponds to a drawn path between two markers on the map. The path follows the available streets on the
map. The path color defaults to black.
# Get start marker of line
# Syntax: a_line.get_start()
# Get stop marker of line
# Syntax: a_line.get_stop()
# Set color of line
# Syntax: a_line.set_color()
# Remove line from the map
# Syntax: a_line.remove()

Simple Plot
SimplePlot provides functions from plotting numeric data – both the x- and y- coordinate values should be numbers.
# Make a line plot
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_lines(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets)
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_lines(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets, points)
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_lines(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets, points, legends)
dataset1 = {3: 5, 8: 2, 1: 3}
dataset2 = [(1, 2), (4, 7), (2, 5), (7, 6)]
simpleplot.plot_lines('Sample', 400, 300, 'x', 'y', [dataset1, dataset2], True, ['dataset1', 'dataset2'])
# Make a bar plot
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_bars(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets)
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_bars(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets, legends)
dataset1 = {3: 5, 8: 2, 1: 3}
dataset2 = [(1, 2), (4, 7), (2, 5), (7, 6)]
simpleplot.plot_bars('Sample', 400, 300, 'x', 'y', [dataset1, dataset2], ['dataset1', 'dataset2'])
# Make a scatter plot
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_scatter(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets)
# Syntax: simpleplot.plot_scatter(framename, width, height, xlabel, ylabel, datasets, legends)
dataset1 = {3: 5, 8: 2, 1: 3}
dataset2 = [(1, 2), (4, 7), (1, 5), (2, 5), (4, 3), (7, 6)]
