help me get python

[????????]

hello, would be aider, i need a favor of you. i want to download python but for some reason i can't get the installer from their homepage. it's weird, a friend downloaded it for me and then couldn't pass it to me by aim, the transference would just not begin :?

so, could you friendly chap get the file python-2.6.1.msi from http://www.python.org/download/ (it's ~13MB, the windows binary) and send it to me? upload it, chop it and email it, whatever; i've been wanting to code in it and make my first steps since like 3 days ago.

thanks!

-if you think i'm talking about snakes, python is a programming language and i need it for a course this semester...

give me a minute...

I can't spell your name But did you already got python?

If your interested in python, then i should give you my little brothers msn... He program's in many different languages, also c and c++, java and the list go's on and on.... He is not good in helping others... But he could give you lots of information.

 

[????????]

hehehe

yes, i finally got it, thanks.

mm i don't know, if i find myself lacking some info that a more seasoned programmer could have and i have used my options already i'll contact you

it's funny, you know about the new (well not so new now) paradigm of computer languages, object oriented programming? you can trace its roots to the 60's and the way things are done, like more abstractions and thinking about 'objects', you can't help but think of it as if someone had a major trip and saw how things could be done differently and better by insight.

look at the guy that made java:

i don't know if he's going to teach me about coding or relate his latest experiences in the amazonian jungle

Was the binary system thought out and made internationaly known and used before morse code ? Could morse code have been the intelectual seed that got the peolpe who started to use binary as a computer language inspired ?

Could a pack of cards = 2 to ace ( = a system of counting that uses units bigger than decimal ) be the start of the thinking that hexadecimal is based on ?

 

[mysticwarrior]

I really don't know

I myself do use only a view program languages, and especially not the hard ones

I mean, for example Assembly, that's just to weird Of course it's interesting, but there is so much out there to learn.....

What do you need Python for? I only use it for Blender plugins and if you do, you may want a different version as the most current one.

 

[????????]

the latest version is the third, i know, but it was released just this past december and there's currently more third party software for the v2.6. some modules won't work for v3 and so on, i imagine.

i'm just starting using python because i took a course about it this semester. i've always liked the philosophy of it, being entirely free and open for the community to help and how it makes things easier for the programmer.

GOD, according to wikipedia the first record of something resembling a binary system comes from an Indian guy named Pingala in 200 BC. so morse code is relatively new, having its roots in 1836. i think the intellectual seed is planted by mere contemplation of nature, i think a binary system is embedded in the universe; states of on/off are everywhere. binary can be inferred from the duality of stuff we see and it's the simplest system ever. computers do everything by virtue of transistors, which is but a fancy switch that can go on/off, 0/1 to model logic gates and work with boolean algebra. the hexadecimal system is useful because it's radix is a power of binary's, 16 = 2^4 (like the octal, 8 = 2^3)

 

[GOD]

The thing is ..... how many people in the days that computer languages were first thought of knew about the 200 bc bit ? And how many of them knew about morse code ? And grew up in "the morse code age" ? Morse = long or short . Binary = yes or no . On or off . Positive or negative . Personaly i think its all a load of booleans . Says he scratching his .

What about the roots of hexadecimal ? And / or othersystems larger than decimal ?

 

[????????]

i don't know the roots of hexadecimal... if there are any. i assume it got popular when we started using computers since representing stuff in hexa is easier; it's shorter and more manageable than in binary.

I think but am not sure, but heartcore meant that you need a different version of python if you want to use it for programming with blender.

@Heartcore, do you use it for secondlife programming? I thought i read a post ones, where you told something about it.

 

[????????]

oh, i see. i have nowhere near the experience to work with something like blender. i'm a complete rookie :wink:

Hehehe, your not the only one. But from what I've heard, it has to be a cool piece of software. It seems that you can even program games with it.....

 

[Dantediv86]

pairs of opposites...it is innate for us to come up with duality....even in arabic languages there is a concept for singular and dual...can you imagine?

i have one panda
i have two pandaa
i have three pandas

it would be rotten cool to have the dual case in english!! or any other language if that's the case

i have it now, thanks, and having some fun.

for some reason i'm not getting the mail that lets one know when new posts are made in watched threads :?
