[Tutor] import tkinter as tk
At the Python command prompt, I write: import tkinter as tk top = Tk() Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in module NameError: name ‘Tk’ is not defined I see under my Python36 directories for both the Lib and libs directories both of which have a directory or file referencing tkinter.

Re: [Tutor] help
I think you need to convert the input value to an integer with int(variable_name) Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 7, 2018, at 4:34 PM, Frank Dominguez wrote: > > greetings, > this is my first time using python and i just cannot figure out what I am > doing wrong im sure the answer is very simple but sadly i do not know what > it is > thanks for the help! > > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] IDLE
I am a beginner and am using PyCharm as my editor. It’s great and free. It also provides some very nice courses that work within the editor.

Re: [Tutor] When do you know you're ready to start applying for jobs?
Hi Matthew, I am 61 years old and started to learn Python last winter to both exercise my mind and get a better handle on what this world of technology has become. I’ve got a degree in biochemistry which I’ve never used professionally and the only programming experience I ever had was in college with Fortran which did not agree with me. On the other hand I have done some CNC programming the old fashioned way in the 1970’s by typing on a teletype to a paper punch tape the x, y, i, j, and m codes that controlled machine tools. My experience with Python has opened my eyes to a whole new world and I think you under estimated yourself when you chose a minimum wage job over seeking employment in coding. From everything I have learned and read about, you have a valuable asset with what you have already learned. In my opinion, it will not be too difficult to get back on the horse and in fact you will probably be an even better programmer due to the reinforcement learning that will occur as you re-learn Python. Remember, in this life, you must take risks to succeed and have confidence in yourself. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Go for it.
