[Tutor] web design and python
I have many questions, and eagerly ask you to please respond to me. I value your expertise, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to share. I want to find out, in elaborate detail, about the Python/Django relationship to web design. Why does a person or a company seek out and choose a Python-Django website, instead of Drupal, or Joomla, or Wordpress, or something else? What is the description of the unique, small niche that Python/Django has in the world of web design? Who are these individuals and companies that want Python/Django/TurboGears websites? What is the Python/Django/TurboGear relationship to responsive web design (which means the website is beautifully, perfectly view-able on all sizes of screens, including a smartphone, an ipad, and a desktop). What are the pros and cons of choosing Python/Django/TurboGears, compared to other web development options, such as Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress? Is it really true that Python/Django websites cannot use just any web hosting service, and are more expensive to maintain? I have read several books about Python web development, and have extensively researched online, but have not found any of this information. It would be nice if someone could write a full article about this, to explain the true, current situation and realistic 2012 options to beginners who don't have degrees in computer science. I am very, very eager to hear from each one of you. THANK YOU for your time and help! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Python and web design
Could someone please be my mentor or career counselor, and share with me some of your experiences, and answer my wonderment questions? As a web designer, how did you push away and bypass the masses of people shouting WORDPRESS, WORDPRESS, and DREAMWEAVER, DREAMWEAVER? How did you get drawn into Python web design? I learned Python and thought it was sort of obvious, simple, and easy, although I have not done anything with it after reading about it. But Wordpress - to this day, it is a 100% waste of my time. I want to be a web designer, but not with Wordpress or Joomla. I have learned html5, CSS3, and responsive web design. I like CoffeeCup html5 editor, and like Concrete5 CMS. I have not learned Django because it is not yet Python version 3. As a Python web designer, are you an employee of a company, or do you instead have your own private practice, providing contracted services to individual clients? What kind of websites do you build? Who hires you? Large companies, small businesses, individuals? Who would NOT want a Python/Django website? Do you work from home, or do you drive into the office, or do you travel around to visit clients? Do you basically only use Python and Django, or instead do you have to also know a whole bunch of other stuff? For instance, do you HAVE to know SQL, or is it just a fancy extra? Do you know Javascript? What are the minimum skills needed to become employable as a Python/Django web designer? Concerning Python programming, do I have to be skillful enough to actually create, design, and write my own Python code, or can I just find/copy/paste code into the website? As a Python web designer, do you work on the front-end or the back-end of a website, or both front and back? Can you give me direction and advice on how I can make money with Python/html5/CSS3 skills? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] how I overcame the problem I cannot run Python programs
I realized that my computer was running the programs. The black box was flashing off and disappearing immediately, so that I never saw the programs. Also, I am using Notepad++, in addition to IDLE. I am now able to see my programs and provide user input, when I use Notepad++. Also, I still have not fully overcome, I am slowly on my way to success. I am working vigorously on Python, but only 10% of my time is learning Python. The rest of my time is learning everything related to Python, to get my programs to work. I greatly appreciate everyone's help! I cannot thank each of you enough. Thanks for being there when I need someone! Have a wonderful day! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] seeing the results of a python program in windows7
Hi. I ask for help. Thanks very much for your time. I can run a python program in Notepad++, but what happens is that the black box flashes and disappears immediately, so that I never see the results. How can I style it so that the results of the program stay on the computer screen, for me to see? Using IDLE, the Python Shell, I can click File/New Window, to get a new window that allows me to RUN a program. But the RUN option does not allow me to choose which program I want to run. How can I style it so that I can choose which program to run, and how can I see the results of that program? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] I cannot run any Python programs
Hi. I need help. I have installed Python 3.2.2 and have been using IDLE (the Python shell) to type and save a Python program, such as 'Hello World'. However, the command prompt (the black box) will not allow me to type a Python program or to run a Python program. So I tried to run a Python program using Notepad++, and while I am able to type it, I am not able to save it. I am not able to run any Python programs. I have read so much about Python, and have researched the situation in detail, and have experimented with various environmental variables and user/system paths. I need help to correct the situation.. Can someone please help me? Thanks for helping. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: [Tutor] I cannot run any Python programs
Dear Joel: HI! Thanks for helping. When I use the Python shell, and navigate to the saved Python program, what happens is: A second Python shell pops up, displaying the coding of the program (which is a tiny 'hello world' program). This is what is displayed in the second Python shell: print(Hello, World!) In the first Python shell, when I type in what you requested, this is what happens: python myprogram.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax python hello.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax I am not able to use the Python shell to find the saved Python program. I am able to use Notepad++ to locate the saved Python program, but I cannot run the program. I cannot do anything with the command prompt (black box). I request help to figure out how to run Python programs. Thanks for helping me!

Since I believe you are in windows, press the start button, then run command and the command you run should be cmd This will bring you to a window which looks a lot like DOS used to look. You probably are too young for that. Anyway, at that point, try typing python myprogram.py -- Joel Goldstick ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Which computer operating system is best for Python developers?
Hi. I am still having trouble installing and using Python on my (new) Windows 7 computer, but I plan to contact Microsoft forums and see if they can help me, since this is a Windows problem and not a Python problem. My question: For the future, what type of computer is best for Python developers? Do all Python developers use some type of Unix computer?

[Tutor] specific recommendation for a Python book, to move from baby-level to intermediate-level
Hello! I have finished reading some Python tutorials. My favorite tutorial is the official tutorial at Python.org. I am hoping to find a professionally designed, serious, university level book (with exercises, with a learning disc, and answers, and an elaborately helpful website) that will carefully and surely guide me through learning computer programming with Python version 3. I want to be lifted up from a baby-level to an intermediate level. I don't want to spend a lot of time casually browsing through the websites, trying out different things. I am in a rush to become a Python expert, I need a job! I enjoy computer programming. Python is my only programming language. A note to Python Teachers: I downloaded Python version 3.2.2 on my computer. Most Python books and tutorials are several years old, for older, outdated versions. My learning Python got off to a slow start: Initially, I had spent over a week trying to figure out the (version 2) tutorial for Hello, World!, and the print/print() situation. Today, there is a huge and growing number of online Python tutorials and websites. My request is that the list of recommended tutorials be revised and updated. There is a sizable amount of learning and tutorial info at Python.org that seems to be valuable historical information rather than urgent-read-now-tutorials for new beginning programmers. For instance, there are some very well written Python tutorials from years 2009, 2007, and 2005. An idea: Delete all references to tutorials that are not version 2 or 3. And clearly label all the well-written version 2 tutorials, as being outdated version 2. For me, learning computer programming is easy, so far. What is difficult is finding the proper tutorials, and learning how to manage the difference between version 3.2.2 and older versions. For someone new to programming, the difference between version 3.2.2 and the older versions is enormous. (I have a background as a professional classroom teacher.) I am very eager to get kind help and wise counsel from others. If I need to install install Python version 2, buy a version 2 university-level book, read some version 2 tutorials, and do some version 2 exercises, please let me know. I want to quickly move myself from a baby-level to a capable, intermediate-level Python programmer. Please contact me when you have time. I am eager to connect with everyone and hear each person's comments. Have a GREAT day!

[Tutor] want to chat with someone - phone, skype, or email
Hi! I have never before learned a programming language, and I started learning Python a couple of days ago. I am wondering: How does a person make the leap from reading about Python to doing Python? There seems to be many fabulous online tutorials. I have read all the info at tutorialspoint.com, but I am still sort of stuck. I am reading another wonderful online tutorial. But... I would like to talk to someone. I don't have any close friends who are computer programmers. Does anyone want to briefly chat, and share their experiences about how they did it? I hope to hear from you. THANKS!
