Think Python is an introduction to Python programming for students with no programming experience. It starts with the most basic concepts of programming, and is carefully designed to define all terms when they are first used and to develop each new concept in a logical progression. Larger pieces, like recursion and object-oriented programming are divided into a sequence of smaller steps and introduced over the course of several chapters.

- "For some people, programming and debugging are the same thing. That is, programming is the process of gradually debugging a program until it does what you want. The idea is that you should start with a program that does something and make small modifications, debugging them as you go, so that you al"
- "The final version of the function doesn`t display anything when it runs;it only returns a value.The print statements we wrote are useful for debugging,but once you get the function working,you should remove them.Code like that is called scaffolding because it is helpful for building the program but "
- "If you were really thinking like a computer scientist, you would have recognized that uses_all was an instance of a previously-solved problem,and you would have written:"
- "This is an example of a program development method called problem recognition,which means that you recognize the problem you are working on as an instance of a previously-solved problem,and apply a previously-developed solution"
- "Every time a funtion gets called, Python creates a new [function frame], which contains the function's [local variables and parameters]."
- "It is important to distinguish between operations that [modify] lists and operations that [creat] new lists."
- "A [hash] is a function that takes a value (of any kind) and return a integer. Dictionaries use these intergers, called [hash values] to store and look up key-value pairs."
- "for [instances], the default behavior of the == operator ist the same as the is operator; it checks [object identity], not [object equivalence]."
