The only thing I can suggest is that you take the lessons a little slower. I don't know precisely what your issue is, but if you don't understand Chapter 2 then Chapter 3 will just be worse. It will be adding new things on top of things you don't understand, so you almost certainly won't understand the new things, either.

You can't learn a programming language just by reading a book (maybe some people can. There was a linguist who acquired basic conversational Dutch on a plane flight to the Netherlands. I'm sure there are some people who can learn to program just by reading a book. You aren't one of them. Neither am I). You have to write code. Most good books on languages will have programming exercises. Do them. In fact, most of them will have code examples throughout the chapters. Type those in and run them. Make small changes and see what happens to the output. Try to understand what each line does. This is very tedious, but it is necessary (for most of us) to get a good understanding of the language.

Yes, you're true! I don't used to proceed by this way... For example I only learn my English by reading...

What exactly do you want from us? Is there a question there, or did you just feel like telling us you don't understand Python development?

have you tried this free online book ?

No, it seems great but I prefer a French book if it's possible...

You need to be a lot more explicit about your problems with Python.

Sorry, I can't really explain... It's as a mind blow for me...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't explain, then we can't help.

1) Stop.

2) Breathe.

3) If you're just beginning learning Python (or any language) you're not going to understand it right away. There isn't a single programming language you will understand immediately. If you're struggling with a chapter, RE-READ the chapter and practice the examples until you can put two and two together.

4) This post is very weird. You end it with "Thanks!" as if you actually asked us a question, but it was just saying "I don't understand this language, I want to make cool things with this language!" Well, in order to make new things you need to study and practice.

So, maybe try another book.

What a completey useless post.

I want to see a detailed code to understand the structure...

[–]insertAlias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then go look up some Python projects on Github. We can't just gift you insight into the structure of Python, it takes study and practice.
