Before we proceed, questions are accepted regarding the few steps we've covered so far......

I am finding it hard to get it work from this place! I am using chrome/yandex browser.
on typing "web2py -a '123' -p 8081" I kept getting a "syntax error"

Looping:

While loop:

in while loop, we must first initialize a starting point, you can't just meet your friend and tell him, "while i ride to the road, clap for me." thats illogical! What are you riding, where are you starting your ride Thats one lovely thing about programming, it makes you think sensibly! So before you are riding, you must start from somewhere......

So i will say,

my_start = 1
road = 10
while my_start < road:
print "i am clapping for you"

mind you, it will run to infinity......

Hi dude,sent you a pm.
You can teach online the full course on our site for free.(paid/free )

wow....its been long. Sorry for replying late. If you downloaded web2py for windows, it should work else if you downloaded the source file, i.e web2py.py then you must run it via python, i.e

python web2py.py -a '123' -p 8081

make sure to give spaces between the command line codes......

Thanks, I finally got it to work, but I had to do some tweaking beyond the tutorial I had to click on web2py application, changed the server port to 8081 and start the server!
For those asking for e-book, I have an e-book by Massimo DiPierro, but it is about 4.1MB and NL only allows 250kB, so I do not know how to get it across for now

welcome, i used the command line parameters so that users can get themselves acquinted with cl scripts especially when switching to other frameworks like django....

So how did you see the web-based IDE/interface? Any apps under your sleeves?

Guys please I need help fast. What is wrong with this code:

pyg = 'ay'

original = raw_input('Enter a word:')

if len(original) > 0 and original.isalpha():
word = original.lower()
first = word[0]
new_word = word + first + pyg
new_word = [1 : len(new_word)] #What is wrong with this line?
print original
else:
print 'empty'

Maybe u forgot to add name of the list u want to filter, like so: new_word = word[1 : len(new_word)]

Yeah yeah, thanks for answering. I got that one solved yesterday. Now I need response for this problem, and it is urgent. Here is the code below:

prices = {"banana":4, "apple":2, "orange":1.5, "pear":3}
stock = {"banana":6, "apple":0, "orange":32, "pear":15}

for fruit in prices:
    print fruit
    print "price: %s " % prices[fruit]
    print "stock: %s " % stock[fruit]

Please tell me, what is wrong with the above code?

Got it. There shouldn't be space before the "

My pycharm expired yesterday, did any1 has a license key for it

take note of the bolded. It is a good programming practice to use numbers as keys when accessing a python dictionary, such as:

stock = {4:'banana', 6:'apples', 5:'mango'}

Introduction to functions

functions makes our programs to be modular in nature, i.e, instead writing long list of python statements within our main program, we could break them into modules called functions. This ensures readability, consistency and portability of our code. A typical python function starts with:

def your_function_name() :

def means function definition, then followed by the name of your function, and a colon ( : )
For example,

def hello():
     for i in range(1, 13):
             print "hello python!"

def main():
      hello()

main()

this will print "hello python!" twelve times.

In some codes, for those of us that loves reading codes from opensource projects, we often see something like this:

def hello():
     print "blah blah"

if __name__ == '__main__':
     hello()

this simply means that if the program will start with a main function, it should be the hello() function.

Dealing with *args and **kwargs

in python functions, we often deal with *args (i.e arguments) and **kwargs (i.e keyword arguments)
for example:

def login(user_name, pass, *args, **kwargs):

my simple explanation to this is that,

*args is used to represent a tuple within the function

while

**kwargs is used to represent a python dictionary within the function.

So, if you know how to define a tuple and dictionary, you can specify them within a function using the *args and **kwargs respectively......


This brings us to the END of our Python introduction. Other imperative resources to look into are:
