Sparda Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Some thing you need to know: Python 2 and 3 are different, Python 2 programs/code won't necessarily run under Python 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P@c_M@n Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Go to the python website. Download the documentation. Im also programming in python, although im having a slow time with it. For Python 3 Go here. Or if you want python 2, go here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmer Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 First lean python 2 NOT 3 also the guy that is often pointed to on #python on irc.freenode.net is http://tinyurl.com/thinkcspy. So first learn python 2 and a good guide would be http://tinyurl.com/thinkcspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

555 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 A really good book I just got is called "Hello world! computer programming for kids and other beginners" it teaches python for the absolute noob at python and programming all together. There are fun activitys and such in the book too like building games in python. the link is www.helloworldbook.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeiah Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 i learn best when i have an objective in mind. perhaps a good script to try and write would be one that generates an html page listing all the films in your movie folder, each one linking to its imdb.com page (using google's 'im feeling lucky' string') you'll be using python if else statements (if the file ends in .srt, ignore etc), os.walk, string manipulation (you dont want to search for 'avatar.dvdrip.avi', you want to search for 'avatar'), and writing the output to a file. once its done its actually useful: you can email the html to your mother and offer to burn her any film she likes the look of. there are loads of really simple scripts that you can do in python or any other language that'll be useful to you and if you're like me its much more satisfying than doing other people's examples, and stays in your head longer.

needlehead81 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I found the easiest way to learn python was to have a project to develop with it (in my case I have to create a public key cryptography library). The web is good for info, but I alos use Dive Into Python as a refrence manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
