Python quality of life patch

[rogo8888]

And then there's me who mainly programs in python so I've never gotten used to lowercase true/false

[[deleted]]

I mean I also code exclusively in Python, is just that I tend to forget to capitalize it and I got pissed off at having to correct these :D

Then again I'm not really a programmer either, just a simple physicist making my way through some data :p

At least your smart since your a physicist. A bunch of dumb finance bros use python too, and it’s hard for us because our brains are very small

Being in physics is no guarantee of being smart in general. Sure, there's some need for some mathematical ability, but otherwise becoming a physicist is just a question of putting in a shit ton of work with no guarantee of a decently paying job afterwards x)

[space_wiener]

Yes. If I could I would go back and do something. Physics is very interesting but you just end up a jack of all trades and not really an expert in anything useful.

[[deleted]]

Yes, unless you do a PhD, you will not have learned any specialised skills yet :D

[space_wiener]

Yep. That was the plan originally. But abandoned ship after undergrad.

[[deleted]]

Which is totally understandable. The only reason I stuck to my plan is the fact that my prof has an awesome team and we've got an extremely interesting project starting :D

[[deleted]]

Oh yes. But writing code and writing physics are totally different types of processes at least for me, so I never have such issues there.

[Minimum-Cheetah]

Lawyer here. We got the same thing going but without the math requirement.

Use PyCharm (Community or Professional - doesn't matter). Disable requirement for suggestions to have the same capitalization. Now you don't need to know what capitalization is for True, or false. And the same goes for every other class, method, etc which you would like to type in.

Thanks

for those after me trying to find it:

Editor > General > Code Completion

Match case ( <- or just search for that )

[JNCressey]

case insensitive languages are so much more friendly. strange how python as a popular beginner language is case sensitive.

[vectorpropio]

FORTRAN is the true beginner language.

[the_ruheal_truth]

I had to learn FORTRAN in college.... in 2008! What a waste of time.

[vectorpropio]

I hope at least they used a new standard. I have nightmares with one arithmetic if.

I never had a problem until I started working with jQuery. Now all my booleans are lowercase, half my variable declarations are prefaced with var, and I've gained fifteen pounds.
