This repository provides a user-friendly reference of all Python commands listed in Appendix 2 of the T Level Digital Software Development Specification (Version 1.0 – May 2025) by Pearson.
It is designed to support students, educators, and AI copilots studying Core Area 2: Introduction to Programming.
The HTML page core-area-2-python-examples.html contains:
- All required Python commands from the official specification
- Short, clear explanations in plain English
- Runnable example code written for Python 3.10+
- Inline
# Output:comments to demonstrate expected results - Simple structure for use in chatbots, copilots, and digital learning systems
The examples strictly follow the approved Appendix 2 command set and do not include any external libraries or syntax beyond those listed in the specification.
- Input, Output, and Type Conversion
- Selection (
if,elif,else,match case) - Iteration (
for,while) - Functions (
def) - Standard Libraries (
math,random) - Built-in Functions (
range,len,max,min,round,chr,ord) - String Handling (
upper,lower,find,replace,split,strip,format, etc.) - Data Structures (lists and dictionaries)
- Text Files (
open,write,read,close) - Dates and Times (
datetime.now,strftime,strptime)
- Clone or download this repository.
- Open
core-area-2-python-examples.htmlin any modern web browser. - Explore examples interactively or copy snippets into Visual Studio Code / IDLE.
- Use the HTML file as a knowledge-base source or embed it in your documentation index.
- Each code block is lightweight and self-contained for parsing and reasoning tasks.
Learners will:
- Understand how each Python command works in context.
- Recognise correct syntax and common usage patterns.
- Predict program outputs confidently.
- Build solid foundations for the T Level Core Exam Paper 1 and Employer Set Project (Task 4A).
