Summary

Before you move on to the next chapter, make sure that Python installed correctly and that you can run the interactive environment. You should feel pretty comfy with for loops, while loops, and if else statements. You should also have had a chance to poke around with Tkinter a bit, and you should know what Python's garbage collector does.

Important points from this chapter:

• Tabs, colons, and newlines are the basis for Python punctuation.

• Python's most common data types are numbers, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries.

• Modules can be used to pass functions from file to file.

• Garbage collection and other aspects can be managed in Python if necessary.
