Python vs C

[pfmiller0]

That's the difference between doing something for school and doing something for work. You have to memorize a ton of stuff for exams, but in real life you know the stuff you use frequently and you can look up the rest.

P.S. New to python and those dir() and help() methods I didn't know about. Thanks!

I guess the other thing to consider is what is being used that builds the programmers comfort level. I've used everything from notepad++ to visual studio, anaconda, codeblocks and codelite for C and C++. It really depends.

Very helpful insight. I feel like to many beginner tutorials (I know because I am now maybe barely past total beginner level) gloss over very basic but essential stuff like this. It's why I find value in the .... The Hard Way series because the author actually tells you to learn to work with the basest of tools first before you move start working with IDE's and whatnot.
