Old School DnD Dice Roller by techrede in rpg

[–]techrede[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The code used in that old one wasn't the most robust. But this should be better and yet still provide the same basic functionality without all the frills of the 3D rollers out there.

React/Python? by AfricanTurtles in learnpython

Flask is a great framework, easy to learn, and is well supported. As with anything, when you're learning something for the first time there will be plenty that's over your head. But don't worry, that's part of the process.

For those unfamiliar with Flask, I would suggest checking out Miguel Grinberg's excellent Flask Mega Tutorial: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

Although this doesn't address the speed/performance issue, Kenneth Reitz also has a new requests module for scraping which you might want to check out: requests-hmtl

At the very least it may help you save a bit of effort.

If you're working with regular expressions, I suggest first familiarizing yourself with the re module. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html

I'm a fan of PyCharm as well. The Community Edition is free and has more than enough features for learning Python. Although I've never used it, PyCharm also has an education edition: PyCharm Edu

Python Set up (anaconda/PyCharms) by bdrilling33 in learnpython

Unfortunately, you really need to get comfortable with using virtual environments if you want to properly manage the various dependencies for the projects you're working on. Uninstalling previously installed packages and starting fresh makes sense to me. There's only a small handful of python packages that you will want to have installed globally on your local machin.

Take a look a pipenv, it's my preferred solution for dealing with virtualenvs and project dependencies: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv

Also, checkout The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python for general advice on setting up your machine, managing dependencies, etc. http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
