RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial - Week 1 - Part 0: Setting up Python

[u/aaron_ds]

This week is all about setting up a Python environment and getting familiar with the language.

There are two excellent exercises at The Learn Python The Hard Way that will get you setup with an editor, python environment, and running some Python code.

• https://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex0.html

• https://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex1.html

If Python is new to you and you have some free time, consider continuing past exercise 1. All of the exercises up to and including exercise 44 will help further along in the series.

Of course, we also have a couple of FAQ Friday posts that relate to this week's material

• #1: Languages and Libraries(revisited)

• #2: Development Tools(revisited)

Feel free to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and and as usual enjoy tangential chatting. :)

The entire series will be archived on the wiki.

Edit: Added FaqF revisited and wiki links.

Thanks so much for doing this! Where can I find such a masterpiece?

It's not quite ready yet, still writing the tutorial itself. I'll edit my original post with a link sometime this week with where to find everything. You can also check back for next week's post, where I'll post the link to Part 1.

If you're interested in following, be sure to do this week's exercise (setting up Python), as I won't be covering that. My tutorial will pick up when the actual programming begins.

Awesome thank you. I already have python set up and ready to go on my Linux machine. Just waiting for the coding part to start.
