5 Reasons Why Python Is a Great First Programming Language - Mikke Goes Coding
Choosing your first programming language can be a difficult decision to make. You’ll be spending a lot of time with it and it’s not always just a walk in the park along the way. There are plenty of suitable languages for a beginner with enough resources online alone for learning pretty much any language out there.
Twisted
Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python and licensed under the open source MIT license. Twisted runs on Python 2 and an ever growing subset also works with Python 3. Twisted makes it easy to implement custom network applications. Here's a TCP server that echoes back everything that's written to it: from twisted.internet import protocol, reactor, endpoints class Echo(protocol.Protocol): def dataReceived(self, data): self.transport.write(data) class EchoFactory(protocol.Factory): def buildProtocol(self, addr): return Echo() endpoints.serverFromString(reactor, "tcp:1234").listen(EchoFactory()) reactor.run() Learn more about writing servers, writing clients and the core networking libraries , including support for SSL, UDP, scheduled events, unit testing infrastructure, and much more.
Environment Variables
There are a handful of environment variables that you can set that will have an effect on your ability to compile software. These are: For compiling C code: CC, CFLAGS For compiling C++ code: CXX, CPPFLAGS For the linking stage: LDFLAGS For compiling any code: TMPDIR
First steps — pygal 2.0.0 documentation
Caution First you need to install pygal, see installing. When it’s done, you are ready to make your first chart: import pygal # First import pygalbar_chart = pygal.Bar() # Then create a bar graph objectbar_chart.add('Fibonacci', [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55]) # Add some valuesbar_chart.render_to_file('bar_chart.svg') # Save the svg to a file Now you should have a svg file called bar_chart.svg in your current directory. You can open it with various programs such as your web browser, inkscape or any svg compatible viewer.
