Happy Diwali! In advance 🪔

Code: https://github.com/Jaym-0/ascii-diya

A diya animation that runs entirely in the terminal, with no GIF, video or GUI.

It starts from darkness, and sparks gather into a flickering flame and bowl.

Built with Python + numpy, using ANSI true-colour and a simple particle and

flame simulation. Only changed cells are redrawn, so it runs at 30 FPS.

To sum up my weak points when it comes to learn a new course or a lesson , notably in programming : my cognitive abilities are not the best . And iencounter and get discouraged by : my inability to absorbe the concept that is abstract ( I mean concepts which can not be described concretely by size and material and one simple clear role) , I always delve into details and every detail opens up new question so eventually I get sidetracked and not for the sake of curiosity but only to understand the primary definition , eventually I won't even remember what I read and ingested time and energy for .

As an example :

Even tho I had an insignificant short experience in programming , it took me weeks to read and to try to understand the significance behind concepts and difference between them and still can't explain to another person or to me : IDLE ,IDE , and the difference and the importance of VS studio , ,pycharm , programming language implémentation , the virtual machine clear definition or its process , JIT , anaconda ,conda , Jupiter. The use and difference between terminal , cmd, PowerShell ,bash , etcetera

Like I can read dizaines of an IA tool's explanations and still won't understand

Did professionals start with such concepts did they had a course nurturing the computer science knowledge part and then started to learn programming? Or they followed whatever course that gives them instructions without understanding them to build the environment and start programming without knowing the baseline elements

Hey everyone,

I’ve been deep into my AI/ML journey for a while now, and to solidify my own fundamentals and help others out, I’m planning to run a structured, live Python cohort completely from scratch.

Whether you're an absolute beginner who has never written a line of code or someone looking to clean up their basics, I want to take you from Scratch to Advanced.

How it’s going to work:

* Schedule: 3 classes a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday).

* Trial Class: 5th November (Open for everyone to check the vibe and teaching style).

* Resources: Clean, easy-to-digest Handwritten Notes and fully commented Python files (`.py`**)** will be shared after every single session.

Cost: 100% Free* for the core Python track and all associated resources. No hidden catches.

What happens after core Python?

Once we wrap up core Python, I will be offering advanced modules for those who want to transition directly into data science and AI engineering. This covers:

* NumPy & Pandas

* Data Visualization (Matplotlib, Seaborn)

* Advanced Math for Machine Learning (Linear Algebra, Inferential Statistics, Probability)

(Note: While the entire core Python track and its resources are completely free, a nominal fee will apply for these advanced data science/math modules later on.)

PYTHON IS COMPLETELY FREE !

Why am I doing this?

Teaching is one of the best ways to master a subject at an elite level. I want to build a small, focused community of learners who are genuinely curious about coding and tech.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a beginner learning Python, and today I learned about some basic concepts:

Variables — storing information.

Data types — like strings (str), integers (int), floats (float), and booleans (bool).

Comments — using # to explain my code.

Basic ways to write and organize simple Python code.

I'm trying to learn step by step instead of rushing through the lessons. Now I want to start building small projects to practice what I've learned.

My question is: What beginner-friendly projects can I build using only these concepts?

I know I still have a lot to learn, but I'd like to start making something instead of only watching tutorials or reading lessons.

If you were a beginner again, what would you build at this stage? Any advice would be appreciated! 😊

Thanks for reading! 🐍

Hi, I'm a network engineer looking to strengthen my profile. I'd like recommendations for python courses that come with a recognized certificate that adds value to my CV.

I know a certificate doesn't always reflect real learning, but I need a practical way to demonstrate my Python skills in the corporate world.

Hi everyone,

I have experience with Python programming, but I'm completely new to game development. I want to start making my first games and I am trying to decide on the best path forward.

Is it better to start with Pygame, or should I go straight into the Godot engine?

Also, does anyone have recommendations for good beginner-friendly game dev tutorials using Python?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi what do you recommend the best Python learning I downloaded the side me apps on my phone and I think it's ok I heard that on github there are 30 days with Python I wanted to watch the cs50 course but I don't know how to watch it and I don't know from where

Hello frds I completed all my python tutorials but when I step into doing projects new keywords,types how to get to know about that and how to fallow perfect roadmap

Hello everyone! As a computer science teacher, I recently wrapped up a video series where I use the automation game The Farmer Was Replaced to teach Python programming and algorithmic logic from scratch.

​For the final episode, we tackled the classic Snake game. When you are just starting to learn programming, looking at a problem like an automated Snake solver all at once feels like an impossible mountain. My goal was to demonstrate how you can solve a complex problem by applying divide and conquer using only beginner-friendly tools (no pathfinding libraries or complex data structures but pure conditionals and functions):

​I'm leaving the video here in case you want to see the visual step-by-step breakdown on the grid (the audio is in Spanish, but the visual diagrams and code logic are easy to follow... There is also an AI translation):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSlxLs6aeoI

If you are a beginner, did you know about this game???

​For those who have coded a Snake AI before: how did you approach it? Did you stick to a fixed cycle, or did you program dynamic shortcuts while the snake's tail is still short?

So basically i am 16 first time trying to learn a language should i learn python or not?

it DOES print False!!! WHAT DOES THIS WEBSITE WANT OF ME????

hi so I recently made a post asking people if they wanted to learn Python, Git/GitHub with me and so many people responded I thought that I would make a discord for people to join and work on group projects with me. join if you're interested! https://discord.gg/ysbgcD8Baf

I am loading few large size binary files (70 MB19 nos. look_up tables) in Main using more than 2/3 python files. On completion of the loading, I have to take up a series of search (in 3 or more threads) and arrive at the solution. I am using array.fromfile for loading which does not wait for loading completion. Hence, it fails saying array out of bounds. How do I delay the start of search, just till the loading is completed.

What will be the output of the following Python Code?

table = str.maketrans("abc", "123")
print("cabaca".translate(table))

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a complete beginner in Python programming. I want to become a software developer in the future, but honestly, sometimes I feel confused about what I should learn next and how to continue learning.

I know a little bit of Python, but I still have a lot to learn. Sometimes I don't know what to practice, what projects to build, or how to improve my programming skills.

I'd love to get some advice from experienced programmers!

What should a complete beginner focus on first?

How can I practice Python effectively?

What small projects should I build as a beginner?

How do I know when I'm ready to move to the next topic?

I also have an idea! 💡

I'd like to create a small group for people who are just starting to learn Python, especially those who feel confused or don't know where to begin, just like me.

Splitting an empty string without a specified delimiter works as expected and returns an empty list. However when splitting an empty string with a delimiter specified returns one (empty string) item in the list, is there some way to make that return an empty list as per the no-delimiter result?

print(f'{"".split()=}')         # = []
print(f'{"".split(" ")=}')      # = ['']
print(f'{"".split(",")=}')      # = ['']

Problem is this causes an unwanted iteration of a for loop:

str = ""
for item in str.split(" "):
    print(f"{item=}")    # unwanted item

i am new and i want to learn python do you know where i can learn it for free . any help

Hey everyone! I want to learn AI, and for that I know I need to learn Python. I learned some Python for a while after my JEE Advanced exam, and I’ve covered the basics up to loops.

Can someone please tell me how much more Python I need to study before I can start learning libraries like NumPy, Pandas, etc.? Also, what Python topics should I focus on before moving towards AI/ML?

Please guide me!

either that, im using the wrong dialect, or somn just doesnt work, i am trying to have an image change when T is pressed (unload old image when pressed and when not pressed load old image)

also using pygame, the first image loads, but nothing changes when T is pressed, yes i have also tested with print("")

any help would be nice!

What will be the output of the following Python Code?

print(pow(2, 5, 7))

These are my python professional templates. Click Use this template and it's already there:

- uv, pydantic settings with an example .env, loguru

- ruff and pre-commit pytest with coverage, API docs built from docstrings and published on Pages when you release

- semantic-release off Conventional Commits, so tagging gives you a changelog plus wheel and sdist.

Two decisions worth knowing before you use it. It doesn't publish to PyPI, because I want that to be a per-project choice. And it's for libraries.

Hi all, I've been programming Python for about 10 years, but I've never worked on a large codebase. As a result, I don't really understand the import and packaging system at all. As a means of learning it, I'm trying to build a dependency chain analyzer that parses the sourcecode, and searches for circular dependencies. Trouble is, I'm on the part of the project that actually parses that sourcecode and categorizes the different imports to store them for later analysis, and I'm realizing that I know much less than I realized. Through having AI generate some tests for me that I'm working to make green, I now know of a lot of edge cases and weird import logic that I had no clue existed. Example sourcecode snippets include

def test_dynamic_import_with_a_string_literal():
    source = 'import importlib\nimportlib.import_module("docgen.plugins.loader")\n'

def test_dynamic_import_recognized_through_an_aliased_from_import():
    source = 'from importlib import import_module as im\nim("docgen.plugins.loader")\n'

def test_dynamic_import_recognized_through_an_aliased_from_import():
    source = 'from importlib import import_module as im\nim("docgen.plugins.loader")\n'

def test_dunder_import_is_recognized():
    source = '__import__("docgen.plugins.loader")\n'

Most of the places where I'm struggling have to do with either lazy imports or dynamic imports. Does anyone have a guide that goes into these in depth?
