What's up fellow pythoners I am excited to see python is getting some audience in 9ja. I know the Seun has always been a proponent of python. For those of you looking for tutorials and some guidance, visit the following sites: 1. http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers 2. http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers I will like to see some entry level python project started by the nairaland community - it can be anything. Python is an amazing glue language and can be use in so many domains. I will provide pointers and some code if I see serious commitments. I have started building a recording interface for the popular asterisk project using python and django. It's still in it's infancy and will throw out a demo when I can get the initial release out. So, let's get cracking and stop talking |

Looking back at this thread, I see I had several posts up, I never followed through, my bad guys. Here is what I am going to do. I will start a project in python that will allow us code a simple database app from the CLI. The app will provide normal database CRUD functionality and we can build on it from there. Sounds good? I will get started if we are agreement. Later, we can start writing network servers and clients in python, simple glue stuff that will teach the power behind python. |

Ok, here we go: We will be building an inventory program, it can be any inventory. The objective is to show how python can take advantage of MySQL. We will be touching the following: 1. Work with a database 2. Connect to a database 3. Query the database 4. Add records 5. Modify records 6. Delete records 7. Output information in the database to a CSV file Installing MySQL To install and run this app, you ’ ll need to install MySQL and the Python MySQLdb package. You can find instructions for downloading and installing MySQL and MySQLdb in http://www.codegood.com/archives/4 if using Windows and http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/ for Linux. To test if MySQL for python has been installed successfully, launch python on the CLI and type import MySQLdb If the driver is installed successfully, you will have no errors. Here is a good link for installing python 2.6 source on windows with MySQL for python http://fuyun.org/2009/12/install-mysql-for-python-on-windows/ Will be following up with more information. |
Re: Python Programming by mxxpunkxx: 7:08pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
^^ Why python 2.6.x ? There are guys actually running Python 3.2 . . Whats ur take? |
Re: Python Programming by alexis(m): 8:55pm On Jan 10, 2012 |
Python 3.2 hasn't gained a lot of grounds yet. I alot of people are still running 2.6 and 2.x versions. The primary reason I am running 2.6 is because the MySQL-python driver is supported on both windows and linux. Will put up the first code base later on today. |
Re: Python Programming by mxxpunkxx: 9:42am On Jan 11, 2012 |
I actually have all version of u see why i detest Python, with every newer version, comes different syntax . . Referrring to attached screenshot below, A would work fine on 2.x.x but the syntax changed
|
Re: Python Programming by alexis(m): 4:40pm On Jan 11, 2012 |
You hate python because version 3.x.x uses an updated syntax? You should be hating a lot of programming languages then because that will keep happening. Do you have the mysql-python driver installed on python ver 3? |

What about organizing a PyCon Nigeria sometimes next year. Check out http://www.pycon.org and http://www.pycon..com

Re: Python Programming by alexis(m): 3:34am On Jan 12, 2012 |
I was thinking about the same thing but I am not in 9ja because of work. I want to start an asterisk and python user group. |
Re: Python Programming by mxxpunkxx: 8:50am On Jan 12, 2012 |
alexis: I hate the idea behind that not the program itself. Give me newer syntax and functions; why change the former syntax? The second question: i hav many unfortunately, they dont work . , has many bugs e.g. unix socket error I saw petehunt (github) did sometin on July 27 for Py3k, buh am yet to check it out . . . |
Re: Python Programming by Nobody: 10:57pm On Jan 12, 2012 |
alexis:thats not true mxxpunkxx: also not true, except print now an inbuilt function |
Re: Python Programming by mxxpunkxx: 6:54pm On Jan 15, 2012 |
@webdezzi Stop spilling trash, Head over τ̅☺ "http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html" and view the changelog !!! |
Re: Python Programming by Nobody: 11:39pm On Jan 20, 2012 |
mxxpunkxx: Wiki says "The syntax of a programming language is the set of rules that define the combinations of symbols that are considered to be correctly structured programs in that language." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax_%28programming_languages%29 this never changed with python every programming language deprecates this or that function or class so nothing new |
Re: Python Programming by Nobody: 8:27pm On Jan 25, 2012 |
I just included Pyro (for robotic micro-controllers - which seems to work fine with python 2.5, not possible with 3.2) and Cpython as extension for C. |
Re: Python Programming by Nobody: 8:43pm On Jan 25, 2012 |
webdezzi:If there were programming languages well structured, I think Python should be one of them. Regarding syntaxes, Python developers have over the years made changes, though, few. From indentations, keywords(which much have not changed) and to strict rules, parsing and debugging, yet it gives you the room for reasoning to approach your project in a concise and precise manner leaving the runtime aside. Yes, little has changed in syntaxes but a lot of extensions have been created and are quite helpful in that area thereby, reducing the evolution of making changes to set of rules which define Python. Then, you would have to question many reasons of effect such changes would have on thousands of software or packages already running python around the world - you could easily see the consequences of resorting to change in syntaxes. |

I use python 3.2 with mysql connector/python. |
Re: Python Programming by seledafti: 7:29pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
@alexix, @jacob05, my code runs fine with python 2.7..but with 3.2..., i got syntax error, is there anything i'm doing wrong. pls help |
Re: Python Programming by Nobody: 7:42pm On Aug 09, 2012 |
ever wanted to package a mysql database or anyother along with your python apps? well try out the WMI module for python, you can not only package it but also install it the pythonic way. just get an msi installer version of whatever app you want to package. Seun: I use python 3.2 with mysql connector/python.you mean python on the web, right? or standalone seledafti: @alexix, @jacob05, my code runs fine with python 2.7..but with 3.2..., i got syntax error, is there anything i'm doing wrong. pls help if the code is not much, you can scan through and replace all old python syntax with newer ones if much, then consider the 2to3 tool, right inside the tools/scripts directory to convert your code to version 3 |
Re: Python Programming by seledafti: 9:28am On Aug 10, 2012 |
@webdezzi...thanks so much |

hi guys. I'm also a newbie in python. actually it was some guys I met here on NL that suggested I go for python as I need to write an encryption algorithm for my final year project. the thing is i have started but recently almost every program I write has indentation errors and since i'm using textbooks, its not that interactive. I dont mind if I can get someone who can help or probably send links and good tutorials to my email. I use python 2.6 at the moment and i also use the IDLE to write my codes. I really need all the help I can get cos I have a a limited time frame work. |

I think you need to be careful with your loops and branching statements (you might be putting certain statements in blocks where they shouldnt be). Im not sure why you would have indentation errors unless the errors are from the book itself (assuming you are following it faithfully). Its not so bad to have errors as they force you to find a fix and make you think. Thats crucial when learning a programming language. Also, IDLE indents automatically so I'm not sure why you get those indentation errors. Keep at it though. Good luck. PS You might provide a small sample of your code showing the problem. |
