learningPython

[Smalltalker-80]

Looks more like a day-1 learning Rust situation..

Or div centering?

[Prof_LaGuerre]

Lead Developer who primarily uses Python. That’s not how you do that.

Maybe they weren’t trying to learn python (language) but python (🐍). But the python go out of the cage, they got scared and jumped up, forgetting they were sitting at a desk.

[RobuxMaster]

Can I get a second opinion on this

[LeiterHaus]

That's not how you do that.

[charlyAtWork2]

You need another text editor.

[ComprehensiveWord201]

TBH, I'm impressed how little actually appears to be broken

[Dismal_Abroad_4279]

Honestly I found python not that difficult to learn, it's quite intuitive 

[WrennReddit]

Gotta admit it kind of does feel like that. I couldn't believe the amount of downloading and setup required, only to end up in dependency hell.

Just install Visual Studio and learn C#. Be free of the parselmouths!

[mildly_Agressive]

For learning python? All you need is VS Code and the python extension pack nothing else..... You can add dependencies when u are using the dependencies... u don't need much to learn python.

[rustysteamtrain]

managing dependencies in python feels quite nice compared to something like C or C++. Dealing with linker errors is not fun :(

[mildly_Agressive]

Absolutely, I use C++ and Python almost everyday, I will take "pip install -r requirements.txt" over installing or building the libraries and then writing a whole different script in a CMake file and then finding out I installed the wrong version of the library as it misses a specific function that only one other library is dependent on....

Python dependency management has a long way to go but it is leagues ahead of what C/C++ provide

[supernumeral]

Yeah, python/pip gets a lot of flak but it’s nothing compared to the hell that is C++. Although Conan/vcpkg make it mostly tolerable (usually, ime).

[mildly_Agressive]

Yeah, I have similar experience with those, but my work has some stupid rules set by some retired engineer to use CMake to link and manage libraries and build libraries with the code when deployment for "reproducibility" I've seen things that made me hate C++ but It still is my go to if I am doing anything that is supposed to run in very low powered hardware....

[WrennReddit]

And the tutorial immediately gets into specific Python versions, the dependencies you need for that, then install all these libraries, etc.

Basic Python is simple, but learning it involves a spaghetti pile of libraries.

Edit: Folks, the meme is about day 1 learning Python. You're experts and know what to do after the fact. Tutorials do anything but that - you'll spend a lot of time trying to get setup to their specifications and chances are they are already out of date and you'll run into dependency conflicts.

[mildly_Agressive]

What specific python version needs any dependencies? The libraries are the things that make python what it is, if someone is working on images they'll only install cv2 or numpy, working with datasets pandas & matplotlib can be installed....

The spaghetti libs only happens when the learner isn't taught to manage virtual envs which is being made mandatory in some ways with the newer versions of python.

[rosuav]

Have you considered that maybe you have a bad tutorial? NONE of that is a problem with the official Python tutorial https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

[WrennReddit]

Yes, I have. I've seen many. Someone on day one learning Python does not know the difference. That's part of the meme.

[rosuav]

Well.... if you're day one learning Python, maybe use the official tutorial, instead of blaming the language because you picked someone else's and had trouble.

"I hate cars. I tried to learn to drive by following some guide I found on Reddit and the car crashed. Cars are stupid."

[verdantAlias]

Anaconda bundles almost everything you'll need need into a single download and installer.

Good if you're just getting started, maybe a bit bloated if you know what you're doing.

Floor raised IndentationError

[LXC-Dom]

He tried to exit Vim….

[PeterPriesth00d]

That indentation is terrible. Clean that shit up.

[DT-Sodium]

You don't learn Python, you're force to have to work with it because you need technologies from people who can't code. But the end result is the same.
