python tutorial/projects

[Danny]

Does anyone know of a good python tutorial?
I was also looking for some non-trivial projects to do in python.


Basically I would like to claim on my resume, that I know python, with
out bad karma.

Re: python tutorial/projects

I think the tutorial offered at www.python.org/tut/tut.html is as good
a starting place as any.

I wouldn't be able to suggest a "non-trivial" project without knowing
more about your background. Can you do a flashcard program? recipe
organizer? SETI@Home client? (I think you see where this is going).

Good luck.

Oops. The correct URL is http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

Re: python tutorial/projects

I found this one helpful

http://diveintopython.org/

and this one

http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python/english/

Just found this one

http://hetland.org/python/instant-python

and this page has links to many more.

http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html

And because I'm a huge Bruce Eckel fan.

Thinking in Python

It's old, but I still go through it every now and then.

Re: python tutorial/projects

You know, I hate doing this....

I just remembered the Bruce Eckel book is a direct transaltion from
THinking In Patterns for Java.

And as such the example python code within the chapters is not even
valid Python.


If you're new to the language you'll get confused with the use of
private and static thrown everywhere.

It's still good information though.

There's a lot of projects on Sourceforge that are written in Python,
where you're free to study the code and maybe participate, if you've
got what it takes.

Your stance is a difficult one, and one that is hard to conciliate with
the Zen of Hacking. Search for enlightenment first, my son, and the
rest will be given to you freely.

Should we just tell Danny to come to a PyCon? 'Bet we could put
him to use in a Sprint. There's work that fits even the rawest
beginners, if they have the right attitude.

How bout a paying full time job doing python development. In Cincinnati.


That would rule.

I only hear about vb.net or java around here. It's quite depressing.

I am as new as it gets. I would highly recommend "Python Programming
for the absolute beginner" by Micheal Dawson. All I can say is it is the only
programming book I have ever been able to finish. I have done a few
programs and am eager to move along. I would be interested in a local
Cincinnati OH users group.
