Windows 10: Simple python code

Hi microsoft,


I have simple python 3.x code

script.py:

import os
os.popen"pip install pillow".read


when I try to call this using "python script.py" I allways get yellow color of texts in command line after the script finishes.


Is that only my bug?


Thank you

best regards

:)

 

Simple Python Scripts

Before we post any more scripts, I'd like to take
a step back and go over the basic help function
within the Python interactive console.
(mine is on linux, not sure if the Windows version is exactly the same) *Confused

Here I start the Python console, it tells me what
version I'm using and gives me a >>> prompt





Now I use the HELP function to view all the installed modules/libraries
Code: help("modules")[/quote]







Now to see what functions are contained within a particular module,
we simply use help again. I'll be looking at the webbrowser module
which can be seen in the list.
Code: help("webbrowser")[/quote]







By looking into the module, I see that I want to use the open_new(url) function,
so my command(s) will look someting like this.
I have to import the module to use the functions.

Code: >>> import webbrowser >>> webbrowser.open_new("TechPowerUp")[/quote] As you can see from the image, my default browser opened to
the specified url from within Python.





Help can navigate through any module, exposing the various
functions which I hope will make your python coding easy and fun *Big Grin

Now lets do some scripting. *Wink

 

Simple Python Scripts

Hey exodusprime1337,
Just got in from shoveling snow *Frown

I'm all for suggesting Linux to people, but...
I've also learned to keep my variables to a minimum.
What I'm saying is, when learning something new,
Python in this case, you don't want to add Linux and the
shell into the mix as debugging is harder with 2 unknowns.

Stick with your tried and true environment when experimenting
w/ Python and when you have time to focus on Linux only
start messing w/ shell scripting, perl and tcl/tk.
Then you'll realize that you can do everything on Linux.

For now just remove my she-bang line Code: #!/usr/bin/python[/quote] as it's only function is to tell the Linux kernel what interpreter to use.

I'll have another script for you tonight *Smile
