blist Pygame physics simulation (Tutorial) This series of tutorials demonstrates how to create a physical simulation using Python and Pygame. The tutorials start with the very basics and build up to a final simulation of a classical physics problem: the trajectory of a cannonball. Something like this: If you're not interested in the mechanics of the program, you can skip ahead to tutorial 10 and download the PyParticles module and particle_tutorial_10.txt, which demonstrates how to use it from the bottom of the page. Requirements Python, which can be downloaded here.A basic knowledge of Python, if you are complete beginner you should probably read through some other tutorials first (this is a good one). It would also be advantageous if you had a grounding in basic mathematics, specifically trigonometry. You won’t however, require any prior knowledge of Pygame; this tutorial will start from the very basics, demonstrating how to use Pygame to create a graphical display, update it, and make it to respond to user inputs.
SciPy - 5 Tutorials on Web Scraping in Python Learning to program in Python is very easy. I think I made that perfectly clear in my article – resources for learning Python – a couple of months back. The language has a specific syntax that very much resembles the English language. You’ll find those who’re more interested in learning Python programming language for the sake of tinkering with web frameworks, but then there are those – presumably You – who’re more into scraping things from the web, and then making that data look beautiful for everyone else to enjoy. I recently published an article on web scraping tools, in which I discuss some of the most popular scraping apps and tools that have a GUI (Graphics User-Interface), so in turn being very accessible to beginners and lesser educated developers. Python Web Scraping Resource Jake Austwick has put together a great tutorial (resource) on how to get started with scraping in Python. Extracting NBA data from ESPN Right, nothing teaches better than practice, and tiny snippets!
Django People Most popular open-source projects hosted at GitHub GitHub is the most popular open source project hosting site. Earlier this year, GitHub reached a milestone in the history of open source project management by hosting 6 million projects over which 3.5 million people collaborate. You may wonder what the hottest open source projects are among those 6 million projects. In this post, I will describe 20 most popular open source projects that are hosted at GitHub. To rank projects, I use the number of "stars" received by each project as a "popularity" metric. I understand that any kind of "popularity" metric for open source projects would be subjective at best. 1. Bootstrap, which is developed by Twitter, is a powerful front-end framework for web development. 2. Node.js is a server-side JavaScript environment that enables real-time web applications to scale by using asynchronous event-driven model. 3. jQuery 4. 5. Rails is an open-source framework for developing web applications based on Ruby programming language. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 14.

Inside the Head of PyDanny (Daniel Greenfeld) PIL The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library supports many file formats, and provides powerful image processing and graphics capabilities. Status The current free version is PIL 1.1.7. This release supports Python 1.5.2 and newer, including 2.5 and 2.6. A version for 3.X will be released later. Support Free Support: If you don't have a support contract, please send your question to the Python Image SIG mailing list. You can join the Image SIG via python.org's subscription page, or by sending a mail to image-sig-request@python.org. You can also ask on the Python mailing list, python-list@python.org, or the newsgroup comp.lang.python. Downloads The following downloads are currently available: Additional downloads may be found here. For a full list of changes in this release, see this page. If the Windows installer cannot find a Python interpreter, you may have to register your interpreter.
