Invoking Python

There are three main ways to use Python:

  1. Running / executing a Python file, e.g. python filename.py
    • this will launch python, execute (line by line) the contents of filename.py, and return
  2. Interactively, either through:
    1. a console (e.g. the Python interpreter python or an IPython shell ipython)
    2. a notebook (e.g. Jupyter notebook)*

*we will (mostly) focus on using Jupyter notebooks for this project.
