learning python right now

Name: Anonymous 2011-09-12 19:03

Just got done reading learning python the hard way last night. I'm now experimenting with wxPython. What exercises do you guys recommend for me to become a master? I've done the simple calculator last night/this morning, now need a good guide on where to focus my studies.

Be elegant. With python, you need to be elegant. Your code will look like poetry.

Here's the best advice you will ever get.

Play around with the re module and parse various text files; write, say, a Gaussian elimination algorithm; understand the base container types (list, dict and tuple); don't waste your time on learning how to cope with its object system since it's, at least from my point of view, broken; start learning C or Pascal; learn C or Pascal (stay the fuck away from shitty tutorials, read K&R instead for C; I don't know any reference for Pascal); learn Javascript or Lua or a Lisp (feel free to learn more than one of the aforementioned -- even if Lisp code upsets your stomach like it does mine, play with it anyway -- you'll have a unique chance to experiment with things like continuations and macros); do objdump -d <one of your compiled C program>; learn x86 assembly; write your own toy OS; become an $\alpha$ geek.

I second this. I am paafekto maido, and every day I elegantly import tea for my mistress.
When you code with style like elegant and paafekto maido, forced left padding of code is not bad thing, but great gift.
