A Wonderful Serpent

Posted by Tasm on July 6, 2006, 12:26 a.m.

I'm talking about Python of course, the programming language I'm (attempting) to learn. Going well so far, I just have one issue - all the tutorials I read seem to think that the user magically learns how to do something, and thusly skips an entire section with that something or assigns practice exercises with it. Other than that, it's going very well. If anyone here knows Python, be sure to let me know. I could use some tutoring.

I've been reading some funny stuff on the internet - err… sorry, Internet. gotta have it capitalized or the world might end, according to my web design teacher.

Here's an example of a funny article:

<a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Act-Like-a-Gangster">How to Act Like a Gangster</a>

'Tis amazing what you can find on Wiki. Truly.

P.S.: I shot the sheriff, but I DID NOT shoot the deputy.

I'm glad you're learning Python. I wish I could, but I can't even learn GML! I'm kind of getting the hang of it now though…

There are a lot of similarities between the two languages, so once you get the hang of GML, it's not too bad.

You make a blog on Python without even mentioning me? :( Yeah, I'm learning python too, and as I remember I got you into learning it… meh, :P

Yeah, the basic python tutorials were a bit sketchy when I went through them. Once you get into win32 widget stuff, though, there's some decent documentation, though some of the stuff is fairly complex. At least it's not like doing win32 stuff in C++ >_>

Flashback, didn't you write that liteGML thing in python?

Also, go bob marley!

I mentioned that you were also learning Python in one of my other blogs. But just so you're happy:

Halibutski is the one who got me into Python
