Getting and Using Python

IN THIS CHAPTER

Obtaining a copy of Python

Interacting with Jupyter Notebook

Creating basic Python code

Working in the cloud

Deep learning requires the use of code, and you have numerous language choices available to you. However, this book relies on Python because it works on many different platforms and enjoys significant support in the developer community. In fact, according to the Tiobe Index (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) available at the time of writing, Python is the fourth-ranked language in the world and the one that will work best for deep learning, according to multiple sources (see https://www.analyticsindiamag.com/top-10-programming-languages-data-scientists-learn-2018/ for details).

Before you can do too much with Python or use it to solve deep problems, you need a workable installation. You also need access to the datasets and code used for this book. Downloading the sample code and installing it on your system is the best way to get a good learning experience from the book. This chapter helps you get your system set up so ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
