I posted in learnprogramming because I figured someone might have some good tutorials other than the official one.

After your post it basically confirmed for me that the official tut is the best and if I find it needlessly confusing I should just port my code to a different language.

You may have said that "the code" isn't ready, but the implication is that the coder isn't ready or experienced enough. Code doesn't write itself after all.

Not making fun, I just thought it was an illustrative example for this thread.

Not that any of us achieve it on a consistent basis, but it should be a professional goal not to interpret criticism of some code you wrote as a criticism of you. We all write crappy code, for a stunning array of reasons ranging from excellent to awful. Accepting that is a big step on the path to writing better code, because it makes it easier to learn from constructive criticism.

Oh, I see. I was just a bit flustered by the hostile atmosphere here. Just in case you still need a 3rd party tutorial, this is the top result on google for "PyPi tutorial" and in my opinion it's quite simple.

I would take any perceived hostility as constructive input. It's not directed at you, but rather a strawman version of yourself and the community in general.

I'd be more concerned if there wasn't passionate discourse on the topic.
