I was wondering if anyone on here has used python. I want to create a program to handle some stuff
in my table top RPGs, and that language was suggested to me as a good combination of speed and ease
of learning. What do people on here think? Have any of you used python before? if so, what is a
good IDE for mac, if you know? ...

If you are new to programming, consider Python as your first language! Unlike C#, it is free,
as in $0! Unlike Java, it has a simple grammar (few brackets and semicolons) and few
declarations (most variables are automatically declared by their first use). I have been
programming for almost 50 years, and Python is by far the easiest, clearest programming language
that I have found! The Python home page will orient you to the resources and documentation.
It includes excellent tutorials and examples. It runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, A...

Overall idea about this topic was inspired by my childrens. Some time ago I started to teach them
programming. As a base language I choose Python. So the next step was an attractive subject to
program examples and exercises . I create some "robot" program. There is nothing new in it: yet
another logo-style game. (See attacments) The "robot" is actually lorry which moves at squire cells,
concrete or ground and can't move through walls. It understands commands like "forward",
"backward" and so on. All sounds good as for now. We started from program like this: CODE ...

Some time ago i was asked to program device, connected to PC parallel port. Main program was written
in python. First of all i found nice C library which perform the task: parapin . Building and
installation is straightforward, so i don't stop on this. Then i start to build python wrapper.
With SWIG its easy. First create file parapin.i , here is head of it: QUOTE %module parapin %{
#include %} int pin_init_user(int lp_base); #define LPT1 0x378 #define LPT2 0x278 void
set_pin(int pins); void clear_pin(int pins); void change_pin(int pins, int state); #define...

Hi... First of all I know that this place isn't best for this, but this fits into 3 different
categories so I decided to place it in main category... If it fits somewhere else better, I
don't mind moving it somewhere else... So now the case. We (I and few other people I know) are
working on 3D engine... exactly we want to create engines for 3 platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac OS)
that would have one scripting interface so we decided to integrate one of those three script
languages with C++ engine to make it more portable. I was searching for some infos that would...

Recently I found a great site for python programmers. You have to find the url for the next level by
solving a puzzle that requires Python (most other languages will also do quite well, but it's
meant for python). The first levels you could do with some pen and paper or a calculator. But after
a few puzzles they start to become more complicated and realy have to do more programming. Tell us
how far you have comes. The challenge has 33 levels, but I only beated the first 3. That doesn't
say much since I'm a total newbie at Python. -=jeroen=-...

I am a newbie in Python. After read some parts of 《OReilly -
ProgrammingPython2ndEd.chm》, I try to write a small problem as following. But it is no
reaction when I press the button. Does anyone can tell me why? CODE from Tkinter import * #
get widget classes class Inputer(Frame): # subclass our GUI def __init__(self,
parent=None): # constructor method  Frame.__init__(self, parent)
 self.pack()  ent = Entry(self)  ent.insert(0, 'Type words here')
# set text  ent.pack(side=LEFT...

Python for Series 60 brings the Python programming language to the Series 60 Platform. With Python
for Series 60 installed, developers can write Series 60 applications in Python, or embed the Python
interpreter into Symbian C++ applications for the platform. Python for Series 60 is based on Python
2.2.2; However, in addition to supporting many of the Python Standard Library modules, Python for
Series 60 includes a number of Platform-specific modules for access to native GUI widgets, Bluetooth
and GPRS networking, GSM Location information, SMS Messaging, and more! P...

So of late I've become increasingly interested in the whole bitTorrent trend, and I was possibly
looking into dabbling in a release of my own... I was wondering if anyone has any experience with
Python, and if so, which IDE should I use... I have Emacs (of course), but it's more hackerish
than userfriendly, and I'm so noob with python i need to use a p*ssy prog that spoils you with
dropdowns and context-sensitive help... Maybe I'm a dreamer, but oh well... Thx in advance...
Oh yeah, this is for win32 development, as the people I would distribute my...

Hi everyone , I program python since one month , and I have trouble with indentation with .... -
Blocks with more than 1 conditions - Blocks with lists - And with caracters " strings " I'd
like you to give me some examples if possible and explane me the bases of indentation. I need to
