      python with trevor payne is pretty great      mugwart
    • Scripting python is like going out drinking with a crazy mate. Starts off amazing and fun but at some turns just bad and painfulmugwart
    • its due to runtime/no precompiler. Its dangerous! So when you start learning - learn unittests. Can not advice more than thatmugwart
    • Also dont worry about IDE's use vim and the terminal tool set at the start - IMAO.
      IDE's get clunky and get in the way of learning. That said pycharm is good.      mugwart
