I am in the process of learning Python (obsessively so). I've been through a few tutorials and read
a Python book that was lent to me. I am now trying to put what I've learned to use by rewriting that
Numerology program I wrote years ago in VB.
There are times I am totally stuck (for instance, I just had an idea to put the numerical values of
the alphabet and months of the year in a dictionary located in a function. Then, I can import the
dictionary I need from that function ... well, I'm getting import errors).
So the question is this ... when I get stuck like this and seem to be banging into walls with
everything I try, is it better to continue trying different things or stop, take a break and go back
to reading a tutorial or a Python book? Or is it better that after I've tried everything I can think
of, I just post the question here, get the answer and move forward?
Thanks, Jeff
