Python

Python is fun.
Thus, thread.

[Chibill]

No Python is fun but the indents are not

Xeo, at some point in the future, would you mind helping me learn Python, specifically using the PyPluginLoader for Bukkit?

[Xeomorpher]

Sure, if I have time, but it's getting pretty hectic with GCSE (A really importantish exam thing) year.

[mad1231999]

Why though?
Just get a book on C.

[Xeomorpher]

Because you can write code in python far faster then C -

You can use it as a more programming-oriented bash :3, or use it for hackying with things, like throwing sockets around and shtuff

[Chibill]

Or use it with bash command on Linux with air crack-ng installed an make your own wifi off of Ethernet or Ethernet off wifi or wifi off wifi

[tokumei]

Or just use it to write a simple plugin for Bukkit with only 10 lines, as compared to what you'd have to do in Java. There's also the plus of not having to recompile every time you make a change.

DJ8X, codecademy.com has a pretty good online tutorial for Python, Ruby, Javascript, and HTML. and its not just a tutorial, it actually has a code editor on the site so that you can interact with the course that you're trying to learn. and its free!

[EDevil]

So kinda like W3schools? Sounds pretty cool!

[Iceglade]

Also, learnpython.org is a pretty nice place too.

[Somepotato]

Python is bad, hands down.

[Iceglade]

Context?

[VirtualPineapple]

all

[Iceglade]

Okay...
fine, let's do Lua
Happy now?
end okay
end statement about this programming language
end asking about emotion

[Somepotato]

Lua has many end statements as your awful code demands of it

[Jmking80]

LUA RULES! I think....
Never tried python might have a look sometime

[Xeomorpher]

No, no it does not XD

[Jmking80]

Yes it does.

[Dornier]

This is relevant...

[Jmking80]

omg, I should argue that whay from now on

[Dornier]

No you shouldn't!

Btw, python is a great programming language. I've written this program completely from scratch in python:
(Yes I like advanced computational chemistry)

[Jmking80]

Looks awesome, mind sharing the link

[Dornier]

There is no link. The program is still under development. I'm currently working on an algorithm to calculate the exact temperature, products and energy of reaction, using chemical equilibrium.

I just started learning python yesterday. Master Codecademy made me make this today:

Code:

pyg = 'ay' #Suffix
print "Welcome to the English to PygLatin translator!"
original = raw_input("What would you like to translate? ") #Input
if len(original) > 0 and original.isalpha(): #Check if the word is alphanumeric and is more than one character
    word = original.lower() #Set word to lowercase
    first = word[0] #Find first letter
    if first == 'a' or first == 'e' or first == 'i' or first == 'o' or first == 'u': #Check if first letter is a vowel
        new_word = word+pyg #Create new word for vowels
        print new_word
    else:
        new_word = word[1:]+first+pyg #Create new word
        print new_word
elif original.isalpha == False:
    print "Not alpha-numerical!" #Numbers! Oh no!
else:
    print "empty" #No word!
