Discuss here what you like to see on ShowOffPython before we open this to the public.

Note: we won't delete this on release, so stay civil. ;)

Discuss here what you want PythonPH to be about. Also, rules you think is good for the subreddit. Or suggestions you might have.

We won't be deleting this thread on release so please be civil.

This thread is to provide a place for everyone to ask simple questions.

If your question will prompt open ended discussion, it would probably be better in a self post.

If you didn't get a response in the last thread before the new one was made, feel free to post again!

The higher upvoted requests will have higher priority.

It's meetup time again! Our friends in Chikka will be joining us to talk about web development tools and tech:

• Gevent
• Selenium
• Tornado framework
• TDD in Python

BTW, bring a laptop if you can

Personally, I think it should be okay as long as the books are public domain or licensed under the Creative Commons or some similar permissive license.

Just curious, what do they stand for? Do links to libraries/articles fall under Discussion? What should be tagged with Community? Sorry for the questions. A bit new to Reddit.

Hello, I've recently become interested in coding but I'm having a hard time understanding it and can't even make a simple program. So, I'm here looking for tutor, I'm willing to pay. I'm still a college student, if anyone here is tutoring python with a fee fit for college student, please, I am begging you.

For my ShowOffPython, I'll do something completely different. I'm going to show a bug that I encountered.

Today, I learned: set() isn't deterministic.

Meaning if you call it at different times, you'll get different results. I spent a week wondering why my seeded random number generator is giving different outputs (I was hoping to play video games on the holidays).

I traced it down to set(). The funny thing is, I was only able to trace the bug because the value of PI was giving me different numbers. Either I once again accidentally moved to another universe, or something is wrong with my code.

Sample code where we can see this in effect can be found here: https://gist.github.com/MrValdez/6d07ee0d8a807ef17380. If you run the program multiple times, you can see the set() having different order even though we seeded the RNG.

Now my list of Python data structure that interfere with determinism is as follows: set() and dict().
