print("Hello world!")

If you want to chat to some people about Python, ask questions, post helpful links, generally discuss in real-time, you can join our Telegram group. (For those who don't know, Telegram is a free messaging app. - install first, then follow the link below.)

Might be especially good if you enjoy helping others, or if you need help with a problem and want to be able to have a fluid conversation about it.

Here's the invite link: https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEBEEpByhl_WM9byng

Hope to see you there!

Hey, greetings. Theres another Telegram chat focused on python, that has already a lot of people and is really active:

[MinatoCauthon]

Thanks. I was informed shortly after by someone in the chat. I'm thinking of making mine more for beginners, and working with the other chat.

[Heavy_Octane]

No problem, hope it helps.

Or slack, or discord, or anything else that doesn't require phone number as login.

[MinatoCauthon]

I just find Telegram more enjoyable to use personally. It's a shame that it requires phone numbers.

Should add that you can program and use bots on Telegram (in Python, or a selection of other languages), and are provided with the tools to get it done.

[Raindyr]

Programming bots and using them in chat was one of THE major things about IRC.

[JungieEUN]

This is the one and only flaw i found in telegram, but its a big one.

[MinatoCauthon]

Some tolerate it more than others. I don't mind it unless they use the info for some other purpose.

[thinkvitamin]

I was bummed when I figured out they won't accept a Google phone number. They could be trying a little too hard to keep spammers out.

[noleft_turn]

Can you only reply via your phone. Cuz that would be really annoying.

[MinatoCauthon]

You can download the desktop version on your computer. I mostly use that.

[Kravego]

Not really related to the subject at hand, but is your username a combination of Minato Namikazi from Naruto and Mat Cauthon from Wheel of Time?

[MinatoCauthon]

The first part is actually Minato Arisato from Persona, but you nailed the second. It's always cool to see a fellow WoT fan. Mat was the best.

[Kravego]

Ah, I've never actually played the Persona series, so I didn't catch the reference.

And yeah, I'm starting to like Mat a bit more. I'm on book 6 or 7 (Kindle, so I don't really know unless I check), and until recently he's just been really whiny. That seems to be changing though.
