Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Lobster

I was pleased that BarryK is experimenting with Python and may include it in 'Woof' his new puplet.
I did a lot of research into programming languages and concluded that ASQ (A real time AI programming ideology) is some way in the future.
Meanwhile Python is a widespread and widely used from beginner to serious programmer

Here is my intro to the programming language that was named after 'Monty Pythons Flying Circus' - yes really
http://peace.wikia.com/wiki/Python

Python 4 Puppy

Anyway I thought this would be a thread for those willing to learn and experiment and share . . .

thanks big_bass
eh . . . 'python' at console should run it right?
Does not seem to?

Smile

Will start reminding myself how 'most excellent'
Python is whilst also reminding myself how we used to have tcl ('tickle')
I found tcl an underated and underused language,
perhaps a bit complex

Barry has mentioned a Python compiler
any good ones (yep they tell you NOT to compile Python but then
someone writes a compiler anyway)

One other thing is this the new Python?
There have been some recent language revisions - or is that not out yet?

Anyway many thanks for that link Smile

Will keep me away from the dreaded XUL . . .

Great thread! I've just started learning python myself as my first programming language...good job!

Edit: thanks to Puppy! With this forum and Puppy I threw together a 4.1 remaster with 2.5 Python, idle and all...very easy! Awesome!

unzip the enclosed zip file
then move the directory
psyco-dist
to
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/psyco-dist
