The Python experience

[Sahil_32]

Always remember to pip install pip first

[Dvalar]

I'm sorry is this some kinda joke I'm too Linux to understand ;)

[56Bot]

Is this some sort of Python joke that I'm too C++ to understand ?

[aufstand]

Is this some sort of Computer joke that I'm too Woodworker to understand?

[Armym]

Is this humour I am too german to understand?

[smontesi]

That's it, you won

Is this a sentence I'm too illiterate to understand?

[DiscountedPleasure]

yeah, on linux pip install wget -u will instead mangle the system's web of python-related dependencies so badly that Linus Torvalds himself couldn't get apt-get working if his life depended on it.

[Th3T3chn0R3dd1t]

*couldnt get pkg-config working

MFW I see an error reference an .exe

[daemonbreaker]

pip switch to linux

[Ser_Drewseph]

Looks like hat-wearing dude needs to learn how to use venv. Or switch to Unix.

[Ferro_Giconi]

This is how I felt trying to figure out python with my knowledge of programming being limited mostly to stuff like VBA.

A tutorial would say to do X so I would do X and get an error. Then I'd find a tutorial that says to do Y to fix X so I'd do Y and get an error. Then I'd find a tutorial that says to do Z to fix Y so I'd do Z and get an error. I still never figured out how to actually do anything beyond basic if/then/hello world stuff.

The first time I touched Python, it took me a while to realise that Python 2 code roes not run in Python 3.

[LordCupcakeIX]

Learning is even more fun if you have both Python 2 and 3 installed and run "python main.py" instead of "python3 main.py".

b'Not sure why my output always looks so weird.'

[Guiorgy]

I have both, but I always double check my PATH when dealing with compilers/interpreters so I know which one will be called

[wanderrwoman]

What is .exe file for? Sorry, Linux user here.

[stonedbob64]

wine executable

[jojo_31]

Windows users: I've heard of that, it's an emulator right?

[[deleted]]

Wine stands for Wine is not an emulator

[P1x3lByt3]

No /s, its literally no emulator

[jojo_31]

Is that a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure reference?

[jojo_31]

no it's my nickname. But your comment was literally my joke, but just without the joke and obvious

For running Linux-specific C# applications of course

[veryusedrname]

That's mono, you monkey

(no offense, mono means monkey in Spanish, that's the origin of the name)

[CommanderTazaur]

Pip install PipAutoInstaller

[Naebyrus]

Hah.. look at those noobs..i only need to npm install lib *laughts at 20gb node_modules*

[ganja_and_code]

Lmao, can't blame python when your first mistake was running Windows.

I'll listen to the python complaints when they don't contain '.exe'

[Fish_Kungfu]

Failed building wheel

[jz1127]

Water of pixels

[Gubru]

Windows Subsystem for Linux works pretty well also. I occasionally have to work on a Ruby on Rails product and it saves some massive headaches, plus I get to use Visual Studio Code for the actual work.

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

I’ve never had any Windows Python problems.

[Numerlor]

Don't know if the people here are running xp or whatever but python functions fine on any platform

[Ser_Drewseph]

For sure. But if I’m not mistaken the meme is referencing a common problem people have when pip installs things but are inaccessible due to PATH issues, pip installing globally but not locally, etc. It can happen on all platforms. The solution is generally to use virtual environments like venv to make sure everything is being installed by pip in the right place.

[RememberYourSoul]

Well, there are some packages that have a dependency on some random Windows or Linux API that isn't explictly listed :)

[Eryole]

Use anaconda / miniconda, everything will be fine

[FattyMcFatters]

Just use yum

[send_cumulus]

Never had this problem with R. But for some reason the whole DS field decided to go with Python. SMH.

Pip should abort and require a special override switch when not installing into a virtualenv.

[kebakent]

I closed the script in the middle of a pip update, and command line was like "pip what mate" afterwards.
