path, mode), Close a text file, Reading and Manipulation of data from a text file,
Appending data into a text file, standard input / output and error streams, relative
and absolute paths.

file and Write into a csv file using csv.reader ( ) and csv.writerow( ).
 Using Python libraries: Import Python libraries.
 Data-structures: Lists as covered in Class XI, Stacks – Push, Pop using a list.

1 Lab Test:
1. Python program (60% logic + 20%
documentation + 20% code quality) 7
2. Small Python program that sends a SQL query to
a database and displays the result. A stub 5
program can be provided.
2 Report file: Minimum 20 Python programs. Out of this 7
at least 4 programs should send SQL commands to a
database and retrieve the result

in Class 11 and 12)
4 Viva voce 3

5. Suggested Practical List:


Python Programming
 Read a text file line by line and display each word separated by a #.
 Read a text file and display the number of vowels/ consonants/ uppercase/ lowercase
characters in the file.
 Create a binary file with name and roll number. Search for a given roll number
and display the name, if not found display appropriate message.
 Create a binary file with roll number, name and marks. Input a roll number and
update the marks.
 Remove all the lines that contain the character `a' in a file and write it to another
file.

7
 Write a random number generator that generates random numbers between 1
and 6 (simulates a dice).
 Write a Python program to implement a stack and queue using a list data-
structure.
 Take a sample of ten phishing e-mails (or any text file) and find most commonly
occurring word(s)

Database Management
• Create a student table and insert data. Implement the following SQL commands
on the student table:
ALTER table to add new attributes / modify data type / drop attribute
UPDATE table to modify data
ORDER By to display data in ascending / descending order DELETE to
remove tuple(s)
GROUP BY and find the min, max, sum, count and average
• Similar exercise may be framed for other cases.
• Integrate SQL with Python by importing the MySQL module.
6. Project

The aim of the class project is to create something that is tangible and useful using
Python / Python and SQL connectivity. This should be done in groups of two to three
students and should be started by students at least 6 months before the submission
deadline. The aim here is to find a real world problem that is worthwhile to solve.

Students are encouraged to visit local businesses and ask them about the problems that
they are facing. For example, if a business is finding it hard to create invoices for filing
GST claims, then students can do a project that takes the raw data (list of transactions),
groups the transactions by category, accounts for the GST tax rates, and creates
invoices in the appropriate format. Students can be extremely creative here. They can
use a wide variety of Python libraries to create user friendly applications such as
games, software for their school, software for their disabled fellow students, and mobile
applications, Of course to do some of these projects, some additional learning is
required; this should be encouraged. Students should know how to teach themselves.

The students should be sensitized to avoid plagiarism and violations of copyright issues
while working on projects. Teachers should take necessary measures for this.
