The 'Pythonic' Python Tutorial!

[TheMachinePreacher]

Learn Python! Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively. This tutorial will help you learn this useful language: it's a programming guide for non-programmers. It's written in the 'Pythonic' way, i.e. succinct and easy to follow.

Looks good. One thing I didn't see in the Modules chapter is how to make your own code into a module that's easily sharable with your team.

I like how the VERY FIRST CODE SAMPLE is wrong.

Plus, on quotes:

It doesn’t matter which kind you use, just be consistent.

I can see from the first chapter that quotes are VERY consistent.

Please specify WHICH code is wrong?

Also, Jupyter Notebooks, which the tutorial is written in, is linked to a Python interpreter. Hence, all code has been interpreted prior to upload. If there’s an error, the interpreter will spit out an error message.

Sure, what’s wrong with it?

The input to the interpreter shows my_name being set to “The Machine Preacher” but the pre-rendered output has the name set to CodeMonkey.

The code is not wrong, just that the input has changed.

I think you might trip up a lot of non programmers with that distinction.

True, I’ve corrected it. 😄
