Quote: And 70% (or thereabouts) of all Python programs must indicate in the implementation language in the program name. (Even Visual Basic programmers don't feel a need to give their programs names starting with "vb"!)
That's just petty.
Quote: ARM ABI and dotNet leaves me with a much better gut feeling. They encourage me to use the language that is best suited for the task. Python does not. It more or less demands that I use Python, whether suitable or not. It takes away my freedom. That is probably on top of the list. The two other points come in second and third.
Using an ABI would make sense if Python was a low-level system language. It's not, and was probably never intended to be one; the language itself is written in C (See CPython). It's meant to be an abstraction-layer language, and if C can use an ABI, it wouldn't take very much work to abstract it in Python.
I like Python because it's a simple language that allows me to write up a proof of concept with very little impedance between the idea and the application in itself. If I need OOP, I can use it, but I'm not required to. Type checking is an option, and what's more free than being allowed to choose?
Have I made embarrassing messes with Python? More than I'd like to admit, but every time I did, I learned that I wasn't thinking in Python, but thinking in X-Language, and translating it into Python. Since I don't work in Python on a daily basis, thinking in Python (TIP) doesn't come as easily for me as it would otherwise. Nonetheless, when I'm in a TIP-state of mind, the code I produce is leagues ahead of what I produced with the thinking-in-X-then-translation method.

I have seen and gone through the Python 3.7 tutorial, but I did so very fast and long ago. I plan on doing the "official" tutorial once I finish some of the Python courses. Then I will have a good understanding of the libraries and can use the tutorial topics to write real, practical Python.

It's quite good language in many ways; once you get past the "indentation" problem. I have used the Python IDE and Visual Studio Code, and both editors handle automatic indentation without problems.

Nice thanks
I'm not sure how many it cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Brady,
QQ: Where did you purchase the Python courses? Just curious...I'm self-teaching at the moment, but am on the lookout for something a bit more formalized.
Cheers!

Lovely language for masses, still using = for assign a value, and == for checking equality, as it is taught in elementary school.
Had one live project, IoT on Linux, of course same Python, same libraries behaved differently (on level of not working) on different distros (RPi)
Recommended for people still have resources and time for reinvent the wheel.

Hi Brad, Sounds like you really like the courses you got - what was the name and source of those courses. My friend is looking to learn Python and would appreciate a pointer to where you got the courses. - Thanks, Bob.

I bought a bundle of 12 courses from the online Popular Science Shop. The bundle isn't just pure Python, it's geared toward machine learning and data science, but I'm finding all the apps I build on a course to be great for learning Python.

last few weekends done some messing with python on raspberry pi
the whole programming in terminal, even just short bits, is a whole different thing.
as for python
clear line error and message is great
the white spacing I still dont understand how it is easier for new comers?
"inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation"
Then you got messing with getting modules before you can run
module for everything. But if you keep in mind with C#, most everything written is with .net framework which is a module, and compiling just hides some of that import and referencing header.

I've never seen a parser's output end up so confusing. The Roslyn API had an entire team behind it. Well my team consists of me, myself and I. Despite that, Slang (which parses C# similar to roslyn), while somewhat more limited than Roslyn in functionality, produces a much easier to use result than Roslyn.
What gives? I don't have a team to hash out the surface area of the API. They do. And from where I sit, they did a poor job of it. It's way too complicated for what it is.

And all three of you agree that Roslyn API is nasty? 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
