Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 4:07pm On Oct 01, 2006 |
qleyo, sbucareer, Anyone in-house with good python skills. If yes, can we start a python tutorial? |
Re: Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 6:29pm On Oct 03, 2006 |
ok, since no one has any idea; I will start a python thread. I just started using it and I like it so I will start pretty soon |

Just hopping into the Python loop meself. Think it's a cool though. Somewhat similar to Perl. Methinks it's growing in popularity in part because it is one of the 3 languages used @ Google. Sure, I'd love to contribute to any tutorial to help others jump on board. |

Yewand/Kahuna, Just started using python like 6 months ago and found it very good. I wanted to know if there were folks in-house that had good python skills. I will like to use python for web programming mainly. Can we start a tutorial or something? |

The problem with python is that it's more inefficient and bloated than it really needs to be. So if you use it for web applications or desktop applications, your programs will run slower and use more memory. If not for that problem, Python would be the most popular programming language in the world right now. Ouch. To answer your question, I used to do a bit of python programming (though now I strongly favor the use of PHP for web applications and VIsual Basic or Delphi for desktop applications). Let's roll! |
Re: Who Knows Python? by adewaleafolabi(m): 8:19pm On Oct 26, 2006 |
i dropped python some months ago but i guess i will pick it up again and start using it. I heard google, NASA makes use how true is that? |
Re: Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 4:58pm On Oct 27, 2006 |
Seun, I will not agree with you - let me put it this way, which language is faster, compiled or interpreted language? python is fast enough to do web development i.e try PSP, just like PHP compiled with mod_python; finally got it working today. It may not be fast like C if you are doing advanced scientific programming. Google uses python extensively, so does NASA, I know yahoo run some of their scripts using python i.e http://email.people.yahoo.com/py/psAdvSearch.py 1 Like 1 Share |

I just need someone to list what i need to start writing python programs, thats all. presently, JAVA is enough for me, but wont mind python |
Re: Who Knows Python? by sbucareer(f): 2:11pm On Nov 14, 2006 |
seun: I agree with Seun. Python is very productive script language. It was developed in 1990 by Van Rossum, his initial strategy was scripting, like Java, Sun initial strategy was web. But python is used in large areas of programming including the initial concept, which is scripting and now includes GUI, web, OS, RedHat uses python for their installation script. Python is relatively slower compare to other languages. But this is not noticeable on a small application but will definitely on a large enterprise information systems. @Alex, I just noticed this post, why would you want to learn or teach python? Python is dead easy to learn. You don't require anyone to teach you python. Are we spoon feeding these newbies? There is no college or university that will start yo with script language or python, the premise is to teach fully fledge OOP language like C++/Java. If you can comprehend these languages learning python would be like drinking orange juice 1 Like |

Think i have a kinda E-book tutorial on Python, for beginners. Mail me and i'll just send it to you. This is the best i've got. |
Re: Who Knows Python? by MAYORIN1(m): 8:05pm On Apr 01, 2007 |
Learning Python isn't that difficult, as a matter of fact Python is one of the easiest modern-day High Level Programming language. The Codes and Sythax are easy to understand and you need not do much memorizing like other HLP and OOP. I want to go into Web and System Programming as a career, I did lots of research on the Net as to which Language to start my voyage with. I discovered that python is the programming language to start with. The best way to learn python is to use internet tutorial and E-books, and your first point of call should be www.python.org there you will get to know all about the programme Google and NASA employ for some of their witty projects. Then you can do some goggling http://www.google.com.ng/search?hl=en&q=Python+Programming+Tutorial+&meta= depending on your entry level, if your are a debutante in programming then try Thinking like a scientist - Python version www.ibiblio.org. I wish u the best in your adventure and make sure the python doesn't bite u |

I am still using it and I enjoy it. With all the super computers we have around these days, speed is not an issue. |
Re: Who Knows Python? by MAYORIN1(m): 11:08pm On Apr 03, 2007 |
Don't mind them guy Python is da bomb. If you prolific at it - you can do virtually any pro stuff with it |
Re: Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 7:51am On Apr 04, 2007 |
thanks Mayorini, |
Re: Who Knows Python? by Seun(m): 12:27pm On Apr 04, 2007 |
Best Python tutorial: http://www.diveintopython.org/ Don't be put off by the name "Python". Python is ideal for any application that doesn't require maximum performance or minimum application size. |
Re: Who Knows Python? by davidt(m): 2:54pm On Apr 07, 2007 |
I have quite a journey in programming. I started out with Qbasic, VB, then C and guess where I have now ended up? I am now a great fan of the Python Programming Language. It is very true that NASA, Google, AstraZeneca and other high brow companies use Python. Python is extremely easy to learn. I would recommend Python to any one just starting out in Computer Programming. I have a library of eBooks that I would not mind sharing. If you need them, you could mail me on davidtadamojr@yahoo.com. Python is especially good for quick programming. It is very useful when you need productivity in little time. Many well-respected programmers recommend python. These programmers include Eric Steven Raymond and lot of others. |

I am now a great fan of the Python Programming language and I would encourage anyone just starting out with computer programming to embrace whole-heartedly. Python is especially good when you need high productivity in little time. It is very true that NASA, google, AstraZeneca and other high-brow companies use python including Yahoo! Many professional programmers of high repute recommend Python. An example is Eric Steven Raymond, if you have heard of him. |

Thumbs up! Mayorin and Alexis, we are together in this Python business and it's the best. Keep it up Brothers! |
Re: Who Knows Python? by Seun(m): 6:43pm On Apr 07, 2007 |
How do you distribute a program written in Python without exposing the source code to potential pirates? |
Re: Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 11:15pm On Apr 07, 2007 |
As a closed-source program, you can handle it in several ways. First of all, what type of closed-source app is it?. If it is a web app that runs off a server, I don't see how pirates can see the source code as the server will process the app before returning it to the client, much like php, jsp and asp. If it's a stand-alone app that installs on a computer - you can package it as an exe |
Re: Who Knows Python? by davidt(m): 12:51pm On Apr 09, 2007 |
To package a python program as an exe, you would need something like PY2EXE. This program helps you convert your .py programs to .exe. It can be downloaded from http://www.py2exe.org/ You can get a tutorial from http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial |
Re: Who Knows Python? by alexis(m): 9:46pm On Apr 09, 2007 |
ok, And if you want a packaged python program to run on other platforms aside windows, what do you do? |
Re: Who Knows Python? by Seun(m): 10:11pm On Apr 10, 2007 |
Hmmmm. I can't answer that question, but here's an excellent page with python programming snippets: http://sebsauvage.net/python/snyppets/#beginner |

Re: Who Knows Python? by Collinsanele: 7:50am On Dec 29, 2018 |
I'm a pythonista. YouTube and Google should be your best friend. Python is relatively easy to learn. I advice you to learn only Python for like 4months and even more. Happy coding! 1 Like 1 Share |

People always complain that Python is slow. If you really know Python you'll know there are many ways trivialize this "slowness" of at thing. |
