Module 1: Practice Sheet

Module 1: Practice Sheet#

Objective#

  • Import the sys module.

  • Print the version of Python being used.

  • Learn how to navigate a Python module documentation.

Instructions#

  1. Import the sys module.

  2. Check the sys module documentation.

  3. Print the current Python version.

  4. Print a statement combining a description and the Python version.

Note

The sys module is a built-in tool in Python that lets you interact with the system your Python program is running on. It gives you access to things like Python’s version, the command-line arguments used to run the program, and the ability to control how your program runs.

N.B. built-in modules like sys are part of the standard Python installation, so you don’t need to install them separately. However, they need to be imported because Python doesn’t automatically load every module into memory to save resources.

Hint 1

Check the sys module documentation to find the function that gives you the Python version.

Hint 2

print() statements allow you to combine descriptive strings with outputs, e.g. `print("your descriptive string ", sys function)`.

Solution

To print your Python version, you can use the following code: 


import sys
sys.version
print('My Python version is ', sys.version)
