Great explanation, instead of using print() function in function definition I was taught to use return() statement because print() return None

I can say that zip() really made a difference. Take that, Javascript!

Excellent overview. I’m going to see if there is a more indepth look at interators and interables. That is one topic that I am not familar with based on the other (ok, older) languages that I’m used to.

This was more detailed than I expected. Thanks RP Team for the great job on this exercise. “Started from the bottom now I’m here.” as Drake would say.

Thanks for the course. Very informative. Quite densely packed as well, I must say. I need to look over those built in functions…

Thank you very much, Darren. You made this course really with a lot of dedication.

I really appreciate, though you mentioned the great IDE pycharm, that all code examples can be implemented in a simple text editor and run by command line. This is how I started to learn programming twenty years ago and thus I think, a basic course should follow this approach.

My favourite sections where the last three ones “Functions: Variables, References, and Scope (Part 1)”, “Functions: Variables, References, and Scope (Part 2)”, “Functions: Miscellaneous”.

I will use dir() a lot as this will enhance my knowledge at every step of my journey. zip was pretty cool as well.

Thank You Very Much!

I learned more in this video then in the entire course I took on python scripting in college.

Is there a link to setup up bpython?

Avatar image for Bartosz Zaczyński

Bartosz Zaczyński RP Team on July 12, 2021

@Glenn Lehman The most reliable way to set up bpython is installing it as a regular Python dependency:

$ python3 -m pip install bpython

This section was very rich. I was hesitant to go through this section because it says basic but I learned a ton. I was especially excited by these two: 1- Triple quoted strings - amazing 2- hash function used to compare two texts or even check the integrity of a file.

I am so excited for the remaining of the course.

I had some previous experience with Python scripts and expected to skip through a lot of parts but I quickly found there was a lot I didn’t know and some useful methods I was unaware of. In future the dir() command will be particularly helpful for finding the available methods to use before doing it the longer or less efficient way. I will also try the end command in print statements which I have not used before.

Thought I knew a lot about scripting in Python, but I have found out that there is a lot that must be reviewed. I will be using this video course again while practicing writing scripts. Thank you.
