Help With Python by sanny18(m): 12:04am On Apr 15, 2015
Just want to start learning python, will I need to notepad++ or does it have software I will use to execute my code
Re: Help With Python by megasamuel(m): 12:43am On Apr 15, 2015
Yes, you would enjoy python:
You would need notepad++ as the text editor meaning where you would write code. and would need to get python as well would advise v2 since its mostly used. You can Google for download links. and also if you are not using the windows OS there are other text editor available so it doesn't have to be notepad.
ENJOY!!

For you to start writing python, you need to download python 2.7.x(as python 3 is not recommended for beginners) https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/python-2.7.9.msi The software will make you able to execute .py files on your system. The software comes with a package named "python IDLE", it is always good to start writing your python codes wwith python IDLE because if you write with notepad or any other text editor, you will eventually open IDLE to execute so, it isnt worth the stress.


After you install python, to confirm, open cmd and type "python" if you see the image1, it means python is installed successfully.


Image2 shows you the python IDLE interface



Python is a good language to start programming with as it is well disciplined and structured. Ask me any other thing if you are confused



Enjoy

My advice break the query into smaller data chunks and use LIMITS and OFFSET to achieve continuity. Then use cursor.execute instead of cursor.executemany()
