🐍 Python Notes

This repository contains my personal notes on Python, organized and written in LaTeX. It's designed as a structured reference for quickly understanding Python concepts, syntax, and common use cases. Whether you're a beginner or revisiting Python, this document provides summarized explanations with examples.

📁 Repository Map – Where to Find What

🚩 Start Here: The main compiled document is
📄 document.pdf – This is the core PDF of all Python notes.

📦 Exercises & Questions:
📁 questions/ – Contains all practice problems and topic-wise exercises.
📄 questions.pdf – A single PDF with all questions compiled.

🧠 All .py code examples are organized in Python_Files/ and referenced from the LaTeX document.

📘 About the Project

  • Format: PDF generated from LaTeX
  • Content: Core Python topics with examples, syntax highlights, and summary tables
  • Purpose: For learning, revision, and teaching purposes

✅ Features

  • Clean, structured layout using LaTeX
  • Code examples in separate files
  • Covers fundamental and intermediate Python topics
  • Easy to expand as new topics are added

🛠️ Setup Instructions (for Minted Support)

This project uses the minted package for syntax-highlighted code blocks in LaTeX. Follow these steps to compile successfully:

1. Install Python Pygments Package

Make sure you have Python installed, then run:

pip install Pygments

2. Compile with --shell-escape

The LaTeX file must be compiled with the --shell-escape flag enabled. Example:

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape your_file.tex

If using TeXstudio, use this custom command:

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape %.tex | txs:///view-pdf

⚠️ Without --shell-escape, the minted code blocks will not render correctly.
