I like vim, but I come from a Unix background, and if you don't already
know vim, you'ld probably be better starting off with something else.

IDLE (Guido's IDE) is also up on my favourites list.

Where do you find the latest IDLE?
Searches on the web are not helpful, and on the Python.org site the search
points to the CVS directories?

It comes with the latest Python source release, available from the usual
places.

Re: help [In reply to]

I see no problem with finding existing code on the Internet and used to
learn a subject, so long as it isn't just stolen and handed in as is.

I guess I still believe people are good, no matter how hard Usenet and
IRC tries to convince me otherwise.

Re: help [In reply to]

For such a simple task, I would use MATLAB.
http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/

However, if you have to do generic programming in addition to this, I
would use Python with the libraries ImageMagick or Python Image Library
(PIL). Just search for them and you'll have all the examples you need.

Matlab is indeed a market leader, but proprietary. For

Re: Help [In reply to]

I have yet to find a language/community with better online
documentation. I taught myself with the Python tutorial found at
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html. I would look there first. If you
are new to programming altogether I think Python may still be a good
choice, but that may not be the _best_ reference.

You don't provide much info about where you are in your learning cycle.
New to programming? New to Python? Both?

If you do use the Tutorial, use the newest version:

That did the trick for me. It is, however, "a Python book for
experienced programmers" (quoted from website). Not too tough, but if
you have no clue of programming at all, maybe have a look at

http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python.php
It called "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist" (the title sounds
dryer than the book really is, trust me). Very good as well.

You need look no further than Python's own web site.

<URL:http://www.python.org/doc/>

Of course, you *can* look further if you want to -- and eventually
you'll want to. But start at the source.

do you have some kind of programming background? if so,
good intro books include Hetland's "Beginning Python",
Pilgrim's "Dive into Python", and O'Reilly's "Learning Python".
there is an online version of Dive at http://diveintopython.org
if you're looking for something more comprehensive, i wrote
"Core Python Programming", but it is much longer than the
others, so if you want a quick intro, it would not be for you.

here's a nice list and description of most Python books:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks

for those are are new to programming altogether, you can
try Dawson's "Absolute Beginner" or the "Learn to Program"
by Gauld, but since it's dated, it's best to check out Alan's
tutorial at:http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

cheers!

Don't forget *the Python tutorial* found at

<http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html>

This tutorial is the first and best. It doesn't cost anything and is
always the most up to date and correct.

Looks like some Zope stuff.

Then make it an optional parameter. How to do so depends on context not
given here, so we can't help much unless you post enough informations.

Oh, yes, while we're at it, I forgot to mention: there's also a french
Python newsgroup, fr.comp.lang.python. It's far from being as active as
this one[1][2], but it's as friendly and tries very hard to be as
helpful !-)

[1] this can be seen positive too - at least your posts won't go
unnoticed !-)

[2] anyway, very few newsgroups are as active (abd friendly and helpful)
as c.l.py

The OpenGL.Tk module is looking for the Tk module and not finding it.
Install the Tk module.

Try "sudo easy_install Tk".

That would be my guess - that the Tk module is installed somewhere other
than where OpenGL.Tk is looking for it.

Rather than assume malice, we should give X1 the benefit of the doubt and
assume he genuinely believed what he wrote but was merely mistaken.
