Re: I want to learn python and help
Hi,
I just finished the 'learning python' book a few monthes ago. I am the kind to learn by doing. I would like to help out any way I can. My day job is qa testing. Is there a simple coding project I could learn on for you guys ? Is there a particuler way you need this to be tested so I can learn how the code works? I just want to get my hands dirty and become a good python coder.
That's a co-incidence. I've been interested in Python for a few months and read the User and Reference guide back then. I've done nothing on it since apart from browsing comp.lang.python. Over Christmas, whilst staying at the in-laws, I was planning to read through the source of Mailman on the laptop.
What I'm after is learning Python idioms and typical ways of structuring code with Python's packages. I know C and Unix inside out, plus many others languages like Ada, PostScript, Perl, and Fortran. Does the list think that Mailman is a good example of idiomatic Python code? I've assumed so given Barry's closeness to Guido.
Thanks for any guidance,
Ralph.
