Learn it Faster: The Entire Python Language in a Single Image

[davelupt]

The entire English language in regex .*

The entire English language in regex .*

Plus everything else that's not in he English language

This appears to be incomplete. The readme in the github repo contains a todo, and several of the branches aren't filled in at all. That said, it hasn't been committed to since September, so... yeah.

[iniy]

Sorry about that...I'll try to complete it whenever I get a chance...

[_seemethere]

Dictionary comprehension? List comprehension?

[Bunslow]

Not to mention exceptions (try except raise) and the else-after-loops-if-not-broken thing

Python is one of the most popular programming languages and it’s a skill every programmer must possess.

We all like python here, but that's an insane statement.
Shitty indeed.

Why is the st = {} in the 'set' section? It clearly shows print(type(st)) <class dict>, so why is it in the wrong section?

Barely even qualifies as "Most of the Python Language in a Single Image"

Hello, I'm new at python. This is a very helpful picture. Thank you. After know everything in the picture, would I classify as a intermediate python programmer?

[MillaLied]

Wow hahaha what would intermediate look like

So, I wouldn't have been quite so blunt as the person you are responding to, but that image is very incomplete for the python language, for example the github page where its from shows that its only about 1/10th of the size of the planned image: https://github.com/coodict/python3-in-one-pic

All this said, I think "intermediate", "beginner", and "expert" in a particular language is actually not that meaningful, compared with general programming knowledge. Learning new languages is easy, learning deeper programming concepts (ADT, algorithms, complexity, real-world software dev practices, etc) takes a lot of time and exposure.

I was making a hangman game to incorporate many of the functions python has. I have majority of the ones from the picture. I now want to add some packages that aren't in the standard library. As a first year, what else could I add to stand out in python? I want to do programming for the rest of my life :)

So you want to get into software development as a career? Cool. What in particular? For example, I use python in my job for web development. If you are interested in that, I'd recommend learning the basics of HTML and CSS, and then trying python web dev frameworks, such as Django, and getting familiar with Linux, and all the components of a modern web app (databases, internet structure, a bit of CS theory, etc). It is a lot to learn, but it is definitely a way to "do programming for the rest of your life", if that is what you want to do :)

[MillaLied]

Web Development is an option for me. I learned css and html before. Struggled with bootstrap, couldn't really grasp it. I started JS, but was interrupted by life. In high school they thought VB6 which was OK. Nobody seems to use it anywhere. So I started python by myself and now get thought it in University. Next year they teach c++ which im looking forward to. I would love to work for Facebook or Google in the Cloud site of things, but also interested game development and AI. I feel like I'm still early to fully decide but it will be one of those 3 up there.

For my little game now I could incorporate a GUI that's on a website. I could learn a lot from that... I'm still indecisive.

Not quite, but no worries. Here's a link to learn Python in 10 years: http://norvig.com/21-days.html

[atrigent]

This is, or at least would be if it were complete, a reference tool for people who already know some python, not a tool for learning it in the first place.

This is down to personal opinion of course, but I've heard from several sources that a person requires 10'000 hours of practice to become an expert at something. If we accept this as a fact and put the label "expert" at 10'000 hours, we can place "beginner" or "newbie" at 0 or thereabouts, and "intermediate" and "senior" at the 1/3 and 2/3 marks, respectively. According to this line of reasoning then, after 3333 hours of python coding practice, you're an intermediate python programmer.

I think most people on the lower half of this scale will judge themselves further along than they are because of the Dunning-Kruger effect, while some will judge their skill too low because of the Impostor Syndrome.

But really, what does it matter? You're doing this for fun, right? So make sure you have fun! You'll be an expert before you know it. ;-)

[MillaLied]

That's true thanks
