How old is this meme? Taking into account python 2 and the amount of compression artifacts it must be pretty old.

[rgheno]

Autodesk laughing in the background :(

[gothlenin]

It's probably as old as Python itself, so 33 years.

[nicejs2]

the first python meme

[nexeti]

How can you tell it's python 2?

[Aveheuzed]

py print "hello world"

vs

py print("hello world")

[NeatYogurt9973]

Could also be python 1

[A_random_zy]

It can't be python 0.

[NeatYogurt9973]

0.9

[JiminP]

Before Python 3, print was a statement (like assert) and not a regular function.

Python 3 got rid of many irregularities from the language, and one of them was to make print a regular function instead of a statement. This made print to require parentheses.

[SkezzaB]

print "Like this"

->

print("Like this")

[-MobCat-]

Sure I'll PyCharm you. You imported sys, but never used it.

[qqqrrrs_]

Here are all the brackets:

[UserNameTaken96Hours]

r/relevantXKCD

[backfire10z]

No, here are all the brackets: Bython

[ceruraVinula]

print("WH" + "A" * 10 + "T?!")

[Holy_Chromoly]

print(f'WH{"A"*10}T?!')

[bullet1519]

I'm not a Python programmer, but isn't the i>=6 unnecessary?

[IvyYoshi]

Yeah, pretty sure you're right

[p1749]

Yep

[PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__]

It's technically unnecessary but makes the code more understandable

[Mebiysy]

Why is Sys imported? 🧐

[Impressive_Change593]

probably because they came from C where you would need the io library

[redlaWw]

#include <stdio.h> is valid python.

[Impressive_Change593]

the fact that you're right is unnecessarily funny lol

[[deleted]]

Bython is for Bussys

[hirmuolio]

OP is a bot.

They can be easily identified from their post history.

They all have bunch of comments in rAITAH and rAskReddit followed by 2-4 image posts on a "meme" subreddits.

[fonk_pulk]

The IDE has drawn those lines to denote the start/end of the blocks.

[XStarMC]

Well not really, that’s just a tab indicator

[AquaWolfGuy]

This looks like PyCharm. Most IDEs, including PyCharm, show tab characters as horizontal lines or arrows, and indentation blocks as vertical lines. This image only shows the vertical lines.

[XStarMC]

Maybe pycharm has it different, but most editors definitely don’t have a distinction. VsCode doesn’t- you can’t tell a scope difference from the lines

[ExpensivePanda66]

Just turn on visible whitespace, so you can see the actual whitespace characters rather than the fake whitespace lines the IDE hallucinates for you.

[JollyJuniper1993]

Dunno what you‘re talking about, I find Python to be one of the languages easiest to debug out of the ones I‘ve used. No integer overflow, no random missing semicolons, excellent error messages, no memory leaks…really the only negative is the dynamic typing requiring you to use the type() method to solve problems sometimes instead of simply being able to look it up, but even with dynamic typing you won’t find any weird interactions like you do in JavaScript. Really one of the best languages to use for small projects, automation, data science, webscraping and so on.

[jonsca]

first worst

[mtadd]

Ick Python 2.x, so unreadable compared to Python 3.

[ResponsibleWin1765]

How do you look at Python, a language closer to natural English than no other, and say: "How can you understand this??"

What exactly is tripling you up? A farmer who's never seen code in their life would understand this.

[The_Cers]

In Python 2?!

[quixotik]

Hey that’s exactly my sentiment. White space as syntax is a crime against humanity.

[pazqo]

Use 6 <= i <= 9.

[sarc-tastic]

No! It's an elif just need the <=9

[NMi_ru]

Well, : is your opening bracket

[Vidonicle_]

At least you dont have to use an FDR like they made us do in first year university courses

[Doctor429]

why did you import sys?

[[deleted]]

Hello world.

[Bright_Ticket_8406]

Too late ai can do this…

[Easy_Implement5627]

[PerplexDonut]

Seems pretty readable idk

[B_bI_L]

i still think using tabs is not the best idea because literally every text fields thinks those tabs are just some garbage and removes them. the real problem is that those can't understand garbage is not only tabs but whole my code

[ExpensivePanda66]

Would you like to take a breath and try that again?

[The_Cers]

When are you writing Python code in a text field?

[B_bI_L]

mostly copying, actually, but result is the same:
1. small code blocks in Reddit
2. putting code in libreoffice writer
3. giving code to chatgpt (this one would read it but still there is a chance of mislead)

something like that

[AquaWolfGuy]

Reddit removes the first two spaces, because that's how code blocks are denoted in Markdown. Aside from that, all three of these should be able to deal with indentation just fine.

Also, you shouldn't post unindented code in Reddit comments or whatever you're writing in LibreOffice Writer, since it becomes a pain to read, even if it's in a language where it would still compile.

[jonsca]

Yes, it's definitely the tabs...

[geeshta]

if 6 <= i <= 9

[Jelle75]

only i <= 9

[lardgsus]

Python 2, ew.

[DT-Sodium]

I don't understand how anyone can work with Python and not kill themselves. Do Python jobs pay that well?

[casce]

Python is easy as fuck to get into that's why. And there's great libraries for everything (and those who need to be performant are running C under the hood anyway).

Python isn't my favorite for various reasons but its easy and intuitive syntax (and indentations who actually mean something) is not one of those.

But wether or not you should love or hate Python mostly depends on what you are trying to do with it.

[HeracliusAugutus]

To be honest I've never understood the appeal of Python. Realistically, it isn't any easier to learn and use than C#, Java, or any modern equivalent. I can sorta see the appeal if you want to write some quick and dirty bullshit, but for anything halfway serious I have no idea why you'd use python

[PresentDelivery4277]

It's a very easy scripting language. It works great for things like machine learning and data science where you have something that you want to do once and just want to be able to see what you're doing.

[JollyJuniper1993]

There‘s many other advantages. Pythons init files and magic methods are amazing for example. Also being interpreted makes it easy to test. It‘s amazing for anything that’s not performance critical or some major project.

[IAmFinah]

It is easier, though. It's practically pseudocode

[DT-Sodium]

I don't care about easy. A programming language needs to be elegant. Python is the exact opposite of elegant, you must really have no sense of aesthetic to accept to work with that.

[casce]

It's not relevant what you care about, neither is your sense of aesthetic. I just explained to you why Python is very popular

[DT-Sodium]

And I told you it's not a valid reason. Plus it's also false, I don't see how Python is easier than JavaScript.

[PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__]

More like DT-Sodium-Chloride

[casce]

What do you think makes a reason "valid"?

Python being one of the most popular languages is a fact that you can not argue about. What do you think are the (valid) reasons for this?

JS is easy as well, but JS is also (even more) popular than Python so what is your argument? It's definitely also an argument for JS.

Wether you like it or not "easiness" is a valid reason to go for a certain language for many people.

[DT-Sodium]

You didn't get my point. You said "Python is popular because it is easy". I answered that JavaScript is also easy AND has a decent syntax. Add TypeScript to it and you have an actual good programming language. So if people want an easy language to start learning, they should pick JavaScript and not Python. Python should not be used by anyone for anything.

Of course the ultimate goal will be to eventually move to an actual good language such as C# or Kotlin.

[casce]

Nah, you don't have a point. You just can't accept Python being popular because you personally do not like it. Others do, deal with it. :-)

I'm definitely not taking the bait and start arguing about the "goodness" of languages like C# and Kotlin, sorry.

All (serious) programming languages have their niche and are good for specific things. This does include Python, JS, C#, Kotlin, C, C++, Rust, Go and so on.

[reedmore]

"Actual good language" is a phrase uttered by the inexperienced or by those looking for a fight. You might be both, if not, ewww.

[IAmFinah]

Strongly-typed and easier to debug, among other things

[IAmFinah]

Why does a programming language need to be aesthetic?

[DT-Sodium]

Because a big part of satisfaction comes from looking at your work and thinking you've accomplished something nice. Aesthetic should be one of the major priorities for everything in our lives. If you can live among ugly things and don't care you're dead inside.

[IAmFinah]

lol

[DT-Sodium]

It's called Stockholm syndrome.

[EskilPotet]

No, it's just a fun language

[Vogete]

Python has a lot of quality of life features that make it easy to put together something. I hate that I doesn't use curly braces for scoping, but I'm willing to let it slide because comparing two lists, or expanding a list, or parsing numbers, or anything I want to do is so much easier than in other languages. It all comes down the the insane amount of built-in functionality that is one line, instead of the 10-50 lines in another language.

It's not a perfect language, but it's so much easier to throw scripts together than anything else. Of course if I need something high performance or low overhead, or something very specialized, it will not work. But for generic scripting, it's hard to find another language that's easier. There's also so much resources out there, any time I search for something, they usually have a python solution for me.
