COMMON TERMINOLOGIES IN PYTHON - PART 1

Have you ever gotten into a discussion with a programmer before? Did you find some of the Terminologies mentioned strange or you didn't fully understand them?

In this series, we would be looking at the common Terminologies in python.

It is important to know these Terminologies to be able to professionally/properly explain your codes to people and/or to be able to understand what people say in an instant when these codes are mentioned. Below are a few:

IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment) - this is an environment that allows you to easily write Python code. IDLE can be used to execute a single statements and create, modify, and execute Python scripts.

Python Shell - This is the interactive environment that allows you to type in python code and execute them immediately

System Python - This is the version of python that comes with your operating system

Prompt - usually represented by the symbol ">>>" and it simply means that python is waiting for you to give it some instructions

REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) - this refers to the sequence of events in your interactive window in form of a loop (python reads the code inputted>the code is evaluated>output is printed)

Argument - this is a value that is passed to a function when called eg print("Hello World")... "Hello World" is the argument that is being passed.

Function - this is a code that takes some input, known as arguments, processes that input and produces an output called a return value. E.g print("Hello World")... print is the function

Return Value - this is the value that a function returns to the calling script or function when it completes its task (in other words, Output). E.g.
>>> print("Hello World")
Hello World
Where Hello World is your return value.

Note: A return value can be any of these variable types: handle, integer, object, or string

Script - This is a file where you store your python code in a text file and execute all of the code with a single command

Script files - this is a file containing a group of python scripts

Roadmap to Building AI Agents

1. Master Python Programming – Build a solid foundation in Python, the primary language for AI development.

2. Understand RESTful APIs – Learn how to send and receive data via APIs, a crucial part of building interactive agents.

3. Dive into Large Language Models (LLMs) – Get a grip on how LLMs work and how they power intelligent behavior.

4. Get Hands-On with the OpenAI API – Familiarize yourself with GPT models and tools like function calling and assistants.

5. Explore Vector Databases – Understand how to store and search high-dimensional data efficiently.

6. Work with Embeddings – Learn how to generate and query embeddings for context-aware responses.

7. Implement Caching and Persistent Memory – Use databases to maintain memory across interactions.

8. Build APIs with Flask or FastAPI – Serve your agents as web services using these Python frameworks.

9. Learn Prompt Engineering – Master techniques to guide and control LLM responses.

10. Study Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) – Learn how to combine external knowledge with LLMs.

11. Explore Agentic Frameworks – Use tools like LangChain and LangGraph to structure your agents.

12. Integrate External Tools – Learn to connect agents to real-world tools and APIs (like using MCP).

13. Deploy with Docker – Containerize your agents for consistent and scalable deployment.

14. Control Agent Behavior – Learn how to set limits and boundaries to ensure reliable outputs.

15. Implement Safety and Guardrails – Build in mechanisms to ensure ethical and safe agent behavior.
