PDF ebook: $25.00 [ Add to Cart If you are interested in Python and Tkinter, you have probably noticed that although there is some good contributed documentation on the Web, there is not enough to get Tkinter applications up and running. Python and Tkinter Programming is the answer. It is designed for readers who are familiar with Python and who need to develop applications with Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). Python and Tkinter Programming presents the elements of typical Python and Tkinter applications in a straight-forward fashion. Sample code illustrates each element. Complete applications that go far beyond the fill-the-form class of graphical user interfaces are presented; here you will find examples of complex controls, drawn interfaces and photorealistic panels. The code can readily be used as templates for new applications. Extensions to Python (such as ODBC) are examined as well. Complete source code for all examples, along with the latest releases of required software, will be available from Manning's web site.
A Quick Tour Of Python Short overview of some basics, for users with some programming knowledge. http://stsdas.stsci.edu/pyraf/python_quick_tour.html
Extractions: This document serves as a whirlwind overview of the basics of Python. We hope it will give adventurous PyRAF users a better idea of what is going on in the Python environment. Python is dynamically typed. You do not need to declare variables. You may simply assign to them, which creates the variable. Variables may hold simple types (integers, floats, etc.), functions, and objects among other things. x = 1 name = "sample string" name2 = 'another sample string' name3 = """a multiline string example""" y = 3.14 longint = 100000000000L z = None Note the last example. Python has a special value called None . It is generally used to represent a null value. Variable names are case sensitive. Variables can change type, simply by assigning them a new value of a different type. x = 1 x = "string value" Typing a variable name by itself at the interactive prompt results in its value or information about it being printed out (unless you are in PyRAF and type the name of an IRAF task, in which case CL emulation mode is entered and the task runs with no command-line arguments). Unlike the IRAF CL, no equal-sign (=) is needed to inspect a Python variable: >>> x = 1 >>> x >>> x+3 One exception to the rule is that if the value of the expression is None then nothing is printed.
Extractions: You are here: Main Books Python Python Web Programming Hits: 431 Visitors Reviews Add to Favorites Refer it to Friends Description: This book covers a great deal more than python web programming. You obviously get a nice view of the Python programming language, but also gain some good insights about python database API, as well as the network programming API available in python (both client and server, including the asynchronous socket module), not to mention XML processing. There are lots of "tricks" in this book, which clearly shows that the author has hands on experience on the topics covered, and has had to deal with Real World problems. In this perspective, I especially enjoyed the extensions proposed to help decoupling the SQL queries from the database backend used. This is a great book, and I present it as such to the people attending python courses at Logilab. ISBN: Release Date: 08 January, 2002

First, you need to get the Python interpreter installed on your computer. (This is the program that reads Python programs and carries out their instructions; you need it before you can do any Python programming.) See BeginnersGuide/Download for instructions for downloading the correct version of Python. You'll want to select a text editor that has support for Python. Need to know how to run programs? See How do I Run a Program Under Windows (Unix/Linux users are assumed, perhaps incorrectly, to be familiar with the necessary techniques). Next, you're going to want to read a tutorial and try some simple experiments with your new Python interpreter.

Extractions: What if any English teacher could whip up a quick program to extract texts and activities to supplement the course textbook? Or draw a map of how the texts and activities used in a class relate to the syllabus, the targetted grammar, vocabulary, and language functions? What if any English teacher could create online or downloadable listening activities to be done by students at their leisure at home or at work before they came to class? Professor Tim John's program Keytexts is a good example of what could be done with a little knowledge of an easy to use language like Perl. Keytexts locates texts with a high density of a certain type of lexical item such as modal verbs., shopping language, or polite requests. A teacher could use such software to pick out texts that match the vocabulary area, grammar point, or pragmatic point being taught. Regular use of such a tool would help the teacher develop intuitions about the ways in which grammar constructions, lexical items, and pragmatic language functions co-occur. The
Extractions: Python Topic To pursue this topic, read Python Web Programming , which generally provides more detail than I can. Also, in 2002, the Wiki is starting to take off; that's where new content should appear. Grail is an extensible Internet browser written entirely in the interpreted object-oriented programming language Python Grail wasn't even the first Web browser built with Python. In fact, part of the advice Marc Andreesen received when working on Mosaic was Guido's, based on his earlier (before Mosaic, but after Viola) construction of a nice little stdwin-based Python-coded Web browser. A different flavor of client-side Python scripting is that Mark Hammond's [ref] hard work has made possible. Internet Explorer (and WSH [give ref]) support(s) ActiveScripting [ref] languages, including Python. Thus, as Gilles Lenfant enumerated in private correspondence:
Introduction To Python I learned quite a bit about objectoriented programming from this book. programming python by Mark Lutz (900 pages) goes into more depth, but I found it http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/courses/python/
Extractions: Please Note! This was a one-time-only course; these pages are a historical record. I have no plans to offer the course again. Also, many of the individual class pages are just outlines that I used in class, and don't have any actual content. However, a few of them Class 5 in particular do. This course is being offered internally to U. of C. Library Systems staff and invited guests only. July 1998 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat There will be eight classes, Tuesday-Thursday from 1:30 to 3:00, from 7 July 1998 to 30 July 1998, with the exception that the class for Thursday the 16th will be held on Friday 17th. All classes will be held in JRL-A4. Previous experience with an imperative programming language is assumed. The course syllabus ought to be finished by the time the course is over... Class No. 1 : Python overview; assignment statements; numbers; sequences. Class No. 2
Sthurlow.com - A Beginner's Python Tutorial A python tutorial originally written for the modding community of Firaxis' Civilization. Useful to beginners with little or no programming knowledge. http://www.sthurlow.com/python/
Extractions: When Civilization TM IV (Firaxis Games, published by Atari?!?) was announced, one of the most exciting features was that much of the scripting code will be in python, and the game data in XML. This tutorial attempts to teach you the basics of python programming that you could use with civIV. Of course, this tutorial is not limited to those who want to play a slow-paced turn-based strategy game. That is what it was written for, but is perfectly useful to any person with no programming knowledge at all , who wants to learn python. But what makes this tutorial unique, is that it is written for beginners, by a beginner.

Extractions: "As Internet Programming with Python amply proves, Python is a general purpose programming language which, because of its advanced features, easy extendibility and ability to encorporate modules from other programming languages, is an ideal programming language that will greatly simplify and accelerate the development of many applications of arbitrary complexity." After reading just the first three chapters, the reader will begin to understand why Python is rapidly becoming the language of choice for many programmers.
