Tutorial - Learn Python in 10 minutes
NOTE: If you would like some Python development done, my company, Stochastic Technologies, is available for consulting. This tutorial is available as a short ebook. The e-book features extra content from follow-up posts on various Python best practices, all in a convenient, self-contained format. All future updates are free for people who purchase it. Preliminary fluff So, you want to learn the Python programming language but can’t find a concise and yet full-featured tutorial. We will focus on Python 3, as that is the version you should use. Properties Python is strongly typed (i.e. types are enforced), dynamically, implicitly typed (i.e. you don’t have to declare variables), case sensitive (i.e. var and VAR are two different variables) and object-oriented (i.e. everything is an object). Getting help Help in Python is always available right in the interpreter. >>> help(5)Help on int object:(etc etc) >>> dir(5)['__abs__', '__add__', ...] >>> abs. Syntax Data types Strings Flow control statements

The Python Tutorial Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site, and may be freely distributed. The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation. The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). This tutorial introduces the reader informally to the basic concepts and features of the Python language and system.

Chapter 3. An Object-Oriented Framework This chapter, and pretty much every chapter after this, deals with object-oriented Python programming. Remember when I said you should know an object-oriented language to read this book? Well, I wasn’t kidding. Here is a complete, working Python program. Example 3.1. fileinfo.py If you have not already done so, you can download this and other examples used in this book. print "\n".join(["%s=%s" % (k, v) for k, v in info.items()]) print Example 3.2. This was the output I got on my machine.

Learn to Program: The Fundamentals - University of Toronto | Coursera About the Course A computer program is a set of instructions for a computer to follow, just as a recipe is a set of instructions for a chef. Laptops, kitchen appliances, MP3 players, and many other electronic devices all run computer programs. Programs have been written to manipulate sound and video, write poetry, run banking systems, predict the weather, and analyze athletic performance. Recommended Background This course is intended for people who have never programmed before. Suggested Readings This online course is intended to be self-contained, but if you want additional reading material you will find that Practical Programming (2nd edition): An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python 3 matches the course material closely. Course Format The class consists of 1 to 2 hours of lecture each week, which are made up of videos that are generally shorter than 10 minutes each.

FARR (Find And Run Robot) - Mouser - Software - DonationCoder.co "The Ultimate Program for Keyboard Maniacs" Find and Run Robot (FARR) is a program for keyboard maniacs -- it uses an adaptive "live search" function to rapidly find programs and documents on your computer as you type. Press your chosen hotkey to display the FARR window, then just start typing the first letters of the application you want to launch and the results appear instantly. Hit enter to launch the top result, or refine your search with special modifiers and commands. FARR also lets you quickly run web searches, send email, manipulate files, control on-screen windows, and much more. Build and share custom commands or install plugins to add tons of new features, like live search features for your clipboard history and your internet bookmarks; a popup a calculator with history tape and persistant variables; and many more.. Ready to run, right out-of-the-box with no configuration needed.

A Beginner's Guide to Using pyGTK and Glade The beauty of pyGTK and Glade is they have opened up cross-platform, professional-quality GUI development to those of us who'd rather be doing other things but who still need a GUI on top of it all. Not only does pyGTK allow neophytes to create great GUIs, it also allows professionals to create flexible, dynamic and powerful user interfaces faster than ever before. If you've ever wanted to create a quick user interface that looks good without a lot of work, and you don't have any GUI experience, read on. This article is the direct result of a learning process that occurred while programming Immunity CANVAS (www.immunitysec.com/CANVAS). As a metric, the CANVAS GUI was written from scratch, in about two weeks, with no prior knowledge of pyGTK. The Cross-Platform Nature of pyGTK In a perfect world, you never would have to develop for anything but Linux running your favorite distribution. Tkinter is the first Python GUI development kit and is available with almost every Python distribution.

Welcome to Python.org [tw] : Finding and Activating URLs with Regular Expressions Background The Regular Expressions Changes It's funny how one thing leads to another. When Conversant mails out a email (versus HTML email), it strips out HTML links and puts the URL in parentheses after the linked text. After two and a half years of working this way, it was requested that we change from parens to angle brackets . Except that it's not just about outgoing email. Even that would be ok, but when URL's are sitting alone on a page (not in a tag), Frontier (on which Conversant is written) tries to activate them like this: Frotier's URL activator didn't realize that it shouldn't include the > at the end of the URL, as part of the new link tag, so it ended up created invalid links. This led to the decision to stop converting > to the > entity. Not as easy as it sounds. Look for standard, simple URL's not contained by any real delimiters. Similar to above, but only find URL's in parens. (\()([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9+.-]+: [A-Za-z0-9/](([A-Za-z0-9$_.+!
