Python in One Easy Lesson

[camerongray]

that's good for you then.

I was pointing out that you can't make claims of what I "have never heard of" or take a stab at my abilities because I criticised a language that you like (And I do as well).

You are taking this thread way off topic, not really making a good first impression on this forum.

since when does the thread says anything other that Python is prohibited to be discussed? this is not dostips where only DOS can be discussed! don't be so narrow minded.

That is why you can start another THREAD!!!!!!  If the thread says Python you don't go and start talking about Batch, Perl, AWK or even Baking Bread.  You have no idea about Forum Etiquette!   Now we all have Hijacked this thread.  You can not tell me you have never heard of thread HiJacking with all your great knowledge!

"its the programmer, not the programming  language" is a general comment. Not intended to poke at your abilities. Where in the world did i write in a way that pokes at your abilities?

Guys, you need to cut out the bickering and get back on topic. There have been no warnings issued so far - let's keep it that way.  This thread is about Python and I think the OP has the right to request that it stays about Python.

Grow up.

so what's the deal with this Snake Wrangling? To me, its out of topic as well. What makes it so different to what I commented? I merely just stated a factual comment, not only Python has the capability to do that. It does not mean I advocate one particular language. Are you so dense you can't understand? So I did say Java and Ruby also has libraries to do it. So what? now I have forsaken Perl and jumped ship? Seriously, don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

Around the bit where you said "its the programmer, not the programming  language" then claimed that I had never heard of the Perl style guide after I commented about my thoughts that Perl isn't as readable as Python.

It was a joke that I found rather amusing.

You may want to drop this now - You have really made a bad first impression on this forum.  Keep threads on topic, as this thread was started about Python, then it should probably stick to Python.

I agree. OP, please state that its only for Python and nothing else, not even idle talk, and i will shut up

[briandams]

that's not directed at you.

Okay. NOW a warning has been issued. If you don't stop, your posting privileges will be restricted. Last time - let's move on.

In more relevant news, I might try to get Python working with my Arduino.  That relay thing also looks really cool - May get one to play with if I can think of something to use it for (Internet connected Christmas tree maybe )

you seem to be a fair moderator, so you be the judge. Please see my comment. Is it that a fact that not only Python has this capability? And its a fact, pointed out so that there will not be any misconception. second, the OP does not specifically state its only for Python discussion. Why is everyone my enemy now? A general comment on facts deserves to get shot down?

why not you tell the rest? why only me.? On 2nd thoughts, you are not that fair as well.

[briandams]

Grow up.

same to you

[Allan]

Knock it off. Last warning.
