..And the very first step

The very first step is to install the thing into my work environment.

My work environment is Eclipse/Oxygen. Doesn’t take long – PyDev it is.

The installation link is http://pydev.org/updates. Downloaded PyDev and its source – NOT Mylyn:



PyDev perspective appeared&opened fine. Seems all OK w/the installation.

Downloaded Python interpreter from here – had overlooked this before.  Gave me error when i tried to configure the console:




Python location on my disk is C:\Users\<myUserNameHere>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32. I would have expected it in Program Files folder but voila. Things are/might be a little differet w/dynamically typed languages. I'm statically-type language kind. This a good reminder to device that mental switch to those. To switch, at choice, to dynamically-typed coding mode.

"Python console" now opened on Eclipse. Saw this right off when I opened Python console :)



All, i mean all seems OK now.

Indentation!

Discovered indentation/errors of Python. Knew it – but, not having used it, hadn't encountered it. I'm sure there's a way to simply handling them. But frustrating still. Kind of makes you loose respect to the language. what it does depends on where/which column you type. not what you type.

Python - what for?

I liked what this blog said re. the motivation ("1. Figure out what motivates you" section about 1/5th of the page): Data science / Machine learning Mobile apps Websites Games Hardware / Sensors / Robots Scripts to automate your work Mine is – Data science / Machine learning , and that's about it. And Scripts to automate your work , but that comes as a by-product. I've got other technologies in tact for those others. Python is algorithms to me. Not sure how comprehensive the above list is (neither does the author himself - says ".., such as"), but suits me – serves the purpose. Lays out a view.

for loop and slice

for statement iterates on any discrete sequence of items – as in Java. The syntax is simple: f or <variable > in <sequence> :     <statement> Eg.: words = [ ' this ' , ' that ' , ' another ' ] for w in words:      print (w, len(w)) Side-note here –       for w in words[:]: print (w)    has the same effect as      print (words) You can update a list within the for loop – unlike Java. for w in words:      if len(w) > 6 :           words. remove (w) But, better use a slice to end up with the expected effect in some cases. For instance, the following is an infinite for-loop: for w in words:      if len(w) > 6 :           print (w, ' her...
