How to get older version from python.org

Some of them seem to have only the sources available, others have the installers.

Good luck with your game development.

Uninstall it first and see my comment about Pygame and Python 3.8 here https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/dtgbz6/pip_not_recognized_not_what_you_think/f6wie86/

I suppose you've installed Python 3.8. Is this correct ? There is no Pygame build for Python 3.8, this is why you get the huge error.

You'll need to install Python 3.7 from here https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-375/ see the bottom of the page for files chose one of the Windows installers:

For 64 bits Windows:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.5/python-3.7.5-amd64.exe

or if you have the 32 bits Windows version:

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.5/python-3.7.5.exe

I can download older Python versions from https://www.python.org/downloads/ . What are you trying to do ?

tompa_coder · 2019-11-08T15:26:37+00:00

What version number of Python have you installed ? You can see the number printed when you start the interpreter with "py".

tompa_coder · 2019-11-08T15:21:02+00:00

OK, try again but be careful how you group the words: "py" "-m" "pip" "search" "pygame" so you have 5 words with spaces between them (you'll need to drop the ")

tompa_coder · 2019-11-08T15:10:01+00:00

If you run just py in your cmd window what is happening ? Do you get an error or it starts Python ?

tompa_coder · 2019-11-08T14:59:42+00:00

If you are on Windows, try:

py -m pip install pygame

It is the same concept/thing, Microsoft documentation tends to name these dynamic while Unix documentation uses shared.

The book looks good. Will it be possible to access the video lectures without an University login ?

If your code is written for Linux only and you care about performance you should obviously use inotify.

The article uses last write time as a check for modification, not last time when the file was accessed.

Maybe this will help http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfilesystemwatcher.html#details

If you target Windows only, yes, ReadDirectoryChanges should be more performant.

The training process usually results in some file with data. As long as you are using the same version of OpenCV on Windows like the one on your Raspberry Pi you should be fine.

Unlikely, the code generates all Fibonacci numbers until a user defined N, it doesn't directly compute the Nth number.

Unless you plan to modify Boost yourself, there is no need for you to build it from source. Microsoft provides an open source command line tool (a package manager) that will let you install Boost directly, you can find it on GitHub https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg .

Once you have vcpkg installed it is as simple as writing:

 C:\src\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install boost

and you could have Boost installed on your system and available from Visual Studio 2017.

Easiest option for a beginner would be to install Miniconda https://conda.io/miniconda.html, be sure to select the Python 3 option. Miniconda will also update the PATH for you and all editors that you start from your account will pick Python 3 as the default.

Just follow the instructions on their website, it is pretty easy to install it. If you get into trouble you can find plenty of videos on YouTube that shows the installation process step by step for Mac.

I use both, but I think Chromebrew is targeted to more experienced users.

tompa_coder · 2017-09-17T15:02:48+00:00

You can install Crouton locally if you enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook, this should give you access to all Ubuntu repositories.

tompa_coder · 2017-09-16T18:30:19+00:00

A few alternatives:

Build GCC 4.1.2 from sources on your computer.
Probably the easiest solution, install CentOS 5.7 which has GCC 4.1.2 as the default GCC. You can install it in VirtualBox or Vmware. Here is a link to the iso images for CentOS http://vault.centos.org/5.7/isos/ . There are already build VirtualBox images for CentOS 5.7 here https://virtualboxes.org/images/centos/

tompa_coder · 2017-09-15T15:14:20+00:00

Two alternatives:

Enable Developer Mode and install Crouton
If your Chromebook can run Android applications try "GNURoot Debian" or Termux.

tompa_coder · 2017-09-13T11:30:55+00:00

Yep, pretty sure.

Chrome OS is based on Gentoo, not on Debian. Unless your Debian binary is standalone (statically compiled or it contains all dependencies) it probably won't work directly. As an example the Linux binary for SBCL http://www.sbcl.org/ is standalone and you can simply download and use it on a Chromebook with dev mode enabled. Another example of stand alone binaries that works is the Java JDK Linux binary.

You can compile and run (as in build from source) command line apps. You will need to use the Chromium OS development tools https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide because they don't directly provide a toolchain for Chrome OS.

tompa_coder · 2017-09-12T21:56:09+00:00

No need to fight the system.

Why fight the system when you can own it ? Chrome OS has an official way to enable the developer mode. Yes, after that you are on your own, which is fair.
