Re: [Tutor] Alternatives to PY2EXE

2006-11-14 Thread tomd
I used PyInstaller, it was simple, but the app I used it for was rather simple 
too.

Re: [Tutor] Looking for an edutainment-type introduction to programming book

If he is into games, you could try to look at Python Programming for
the Absolute Beginner, from Michael Dawson. It teaches Python through
programming a set of simple games.

Hi Will,

do a search in the archives, plenty of similar discussions, even just
few days ago. Try http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers

(Admins: consider sending a welcome message on the subscription to
each newcomer specifying usually recommended sources.)

Once you learn the basics, look for Python for .NET, IronPython,
http://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&ReleaseId=423.

I'm not sure how it measures up to C# nor whether it would be usable
in your work, but seems you could kill two flies in one hit that way.

Re: [Tutor] Hi All

I recommend Beginning Python from Magnus Lie Hetland, apart from being
comprehensive and targetted at beginners, it will take you through the
develoopment of 10 various projects, including game, file sharing
application, or discussion forum.
