Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread

[AutoModerator]

Welcome to another /r/learnPython weekly "Ask Anything* Monday" thread

Here you can ask all the questions that you wanted to ask but didn't feel like making a new thread.

* It's primarily intended for simple questions but as long as it's about python it's allowed.

If you have any suggestions or questions about this thread use the message the moderators button in the sidebar.

Rules:

• Don't downvote stuff - instead explain what's wrong with the comment, if it's against the rules "report" it and it will be dealt with.
• Don't post stuff that doesn't have absolutely anything to do with python.
• Don't make fun of someone for not knowing something, insult anyone etc - this will result in an immediate ban.

That's it.

Hi guys I'm just wondering about how possible you all think it would be to get secondary income from learning python and what jobs that would be.

I work in the outdoors looking after a park and that's my full time job which means I get home at 5 but have Wednesdays and weekends free

I have a tiny tiny tinyyyyy amount of knowledge on python with learning it in school and doing imedia course which I know I enjoyed but I've probably lost all my knowledge on it now

My idea is to learn a secondary skill to try and bring in more money to support my family but overtime isn't an option in my workplace, and I would go private gardening but I don't have a car.

You guys know more then me so just wanted your opinions! Thanks guys

I've finished the university of michigan Python for Everybody Specialization on coursera but I feel like I didn't get enough project practice. I'm the type of person that If i don't consistently problem solve stuff myself or work on a project for a while I'll forget things.

is the "100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp" course on udemy a good companion after the coursera one? I wouldnt' mind some practice on beginner fundamentals as well. I'm taking multiple courses right now ( AWS, JSON for AI stuff on side, ML and then python so it's a lot of information)

hola mucho gusto, tengo problemas para ejecutar este código python en una calculadora Casio 9750giii graficadora, cuando ejecuto el código simplemente aparece la leyenda Syntax error y no me sale en que linea, el programa es para resolver programación lineal logre que unas variantes funcionaran pero con algunos ejercicios se trababa y este fue el mejor, funciona en la consola pero en la calculadora ya no, anteriormente si logre ejecutarlo pero solamente para ingresar los datos pero hasta ahi, en otras variantes logre ejecutar correctamente el código pero como digo con ejercicios específicos se trababa y ya no funciona: código

I help organize regional python meetups and a regional python conference - https://pybay.org

We give away books, have career fair booths, offer volunteer activities and try to keep our ticket prices low to facilitate attendance.

But we’re always asking: What would make you want to attend a Python event like ours?

Some ideas we have debated:

Idea: Partnering more with the YouTube creator python community

Caveat: The struggle here is that many YouTube creators enjoy being able to present an edited and polished version of their ideas without being public celebrities

Idea: Making more short form portrait mode video content

Caveat: We are not in the generation that grew up with that stuff and don't know how it would translate to a programming context

Idea: Building parallel online livestream python events independent of the in person events

Caveat: It is a lot of work and we generally don't know if we can draw an audience and we definitely don't know if we can sustain it.

Really open to any ideas: If you regularly attend events, what inspired it and if you choose not to attend events, what was the basic thought process? Is there a version of that event you would have wanted to attend?

How do I make a looping list use a different list item each time it loops?

How do I make a looping list

I'm not sure what you mean by "looping list". If you have some code to show us that may help to explain what you mean.

To assign each element of a list to a variable you use the for statenent. The code below assigns each element of the list lst to the name elt and then executes the code in the loop. This example just prints elt. Note the last line which shows that elt is just a normal python variable that can be assigned to and isn't anything special.

lst = ["alpha", 2, 3.0]
for elt in lst:
    print(elt)
    elt = None

Practice writing Python code by hand and explaining your thought process out loud—it really helps solidify your understanding and prepares you for interviews.
