Windows 10: Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) - Class..

The class begins tomorrow and if anyone wants they can still sign up for the free version.
Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) | Coursera

I've started the class and I hope to post information from it and tips to help anyone who's interested.
Note: You don't have to install any software to take this class. All of the coding can be done in this environment/web site: CodeSkulptor

It's not hard to use and it makes use of Python version 2.7.

You can install Python on your own PC: Download Python | Python.org
I highly recommend using 2.7.10.

Hope to see some of you there.

Python on N86

Hello,

I'm trying to get python running on my n86. I don't know anything about the program and so on so i need some help. I installed the python main application then i installed few other applications, but when i start for exmple pymoneta it starts for like 1
sec then nothing, it closes and no sign of running or smth. Any ideas?

 

Windows 10 Won't Index New Files

The search function won't return new installed programs. Nor will it do partial searches for the anomalous new programs it does return.

For instance I've installed Python which installs a few programs all with Python in the name.

When searching for 'Python', only the original downloaded 'installer' will be listed and only if 'Python' is typed in its entirety.

Setting: Cortana is not set up for voice use and has been mostly disabled though Windows user settings.

Remedies taken: A Microsoft tech reinstalled the OS, and I've done a 'fresh start' though Windows Defender. To remove any bloatware.

sfc scannow was all clear.

 

PGM1: Hello World..
Code: #Print Hello World.. -- this is a comment and is ignored when Python runs the code.. #comments are used to document your code.. print "Hello, World."[/quote]

 

Code: #include <iostream> using std::cout; int main() { cout << "Hello World!\n"; return 0; }[/quote] C++ isn't very difficult once you learn the concepts involved in programming. I suggest after you get the hang of python, you give C/C++ a try. It's awesome!

I've tried it out and C++ is a good language.

 

Class starts today!!
Oh and here's a real nice editor that is useful not only for the class but as a general editor:
Atom I'm using it and I really like it so far.

Here's a nice script that is an expansion on the "Hello World" program. It is a bit more advanced but it demonstrates what you can do with a file in Python. Oh and it's version 2.7.10 of Python.
Code:
PHP Code: #---------------------------------------------
# PGM: hello1.py
# By: Jeff F.. Citizen Z!!
# Hello script.. file usage ..
#---------------------------------------------
handle = open('hello.txt','r')
for line in handle:
line = line.rstrip()
print line
handle.close()
Input File: hello.txt

And here's the output:

 

I read in the past this article about python class that help me a lot. It's for an intermediate than for a begginer (or a begginer that is almost an intermediate python developer).

I didn't know about duck typing before!
