The emphasis on understanding ever detail (e.g C or assembly) shouldn't hamper the process of programming.

This is the worst thing you can do for a budding student programmer. Once they're comfortable with creating programs, they can, if interested, spend time learning the details of the machine with a lower level language like C. Definitely not a first language.

Students should learn about how to write programs that do things rather than bother about details like EOF etc. A student who spends an hour writing a program that can do something interesting for her is much better off than one who has spent a lot of time messing with details like file pointers who hasn't been able to do what she started off with. Your example is quite convoluted. I wouldn't teach anyone to write code like that nor would I bother explaining it. My general inclination, for first time programmers, is to show them how much fun programming is and what you can do with it. Once that's there, curiosity will blossom and they can go as deep as they want to.

Even google, for their selection process, always ask for python, along with many other skills, so it shows the importance of language.

You rang? :) I spoke about this at the PyCon in Pune http://urtalk.kpoint.com/kapsule/gcc-500259cd-2a03-4d86-9f50-ef6d40a39956 This covers most of the Python specific stuff which I used back then along with a little on how I organise my work. For Git, there's magit[1] and no competition. You should install it using package.el which is something I used to recommend against but am now quite convinced by it. For basic configuration stuff, prelude is recommended these days instead of the Emacs starter kit. http://batsov.com/prelude/. I'd recommend making your own config and building it up from there. More yak shaving involved but you learn how to really use Emacs in the process. I've outlined it in http://emacsmovies.org/blog/2012/08/05/customisation_part_1/ and http://emacsmovies.org/blog/2012/08/25/customisation_part_2/ I can't think of anything else off the cuff but these should be a good starting point.

I use Emacs for my screencasts at arunrocks.com as well. When you use it over a long period, you will experiment with various Emacs packages and learn by reading the configuration files of others. I think emacs wiki is a great place to start to learn about various packages. In the current version of Emacs that I use (ver 24.1.1), there is out of the box support for Git using vc-git. I find it sufficient for most of my needs like displaying the git status of the file and viewing changelogs. I would also recommend using the built in package manager MELPAnow for finding, installing and updating packages. It sort of avoids the need the need to tinker with the configuration files to a large extend.

It's that time of year again! The PyCon website received a beautiful refresh and we're ready to accept proposals for the 2014 conference taking place April 9-17 in Montreal. Check out the new site at http://us.pycon.org/2014 and create your account today! Registration will open in September, so mark your calendars and get ready to head into Canada for another great PyCon. We've received record numbers of proposals over each of the last several years, and we expect this year to be no different. For 2012 we received over 500 proposals for talks, tutorials, and posters, and for 2013 we received over 600. This community's excellent submissions have made for schedules where there is just too much good stuff to take in without cloning yourself, which is a problem we're proud to have. Thankfully you can catch up with the talks you missed at http://pyvideo.org/. If you're interested in submitting a proposal, take a look at our Call for Proposals at http://us.pycon.org/2014/speaking/cfp/ and poke around the site for advice and resources to help you create a great proposal. New for this year are the addition of Lightning Talk proposals, from which we'll be pre-selecting some of the slots that make up the Lightning Talk sessions. If your company is interested in sponsorship, we need you. Sponsors are what make PyCon a possibility, and sponsorship offers some great values to the generous organizations who support the conference. Check out https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/whysponsor/ to find out what you get out of sponsorship, with a prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/prospectus/.

[...] Haven't had reason to relook at this in a while, but we have been happy with Twython. It is nicely designed to be easily extensible to an API change; so much so that we have stolen the idea behind that for accessing other APIs. It supports both the normal, and the streaming endpoints. You do not specify what you need to do on Twitter, so that it is possible that other libraries might be more suitable if your needs are limited.

An API change only requires one to make small change in a text file, which Twython calls an endpoints file. The endpoints file is entirely separated from the code.

Or you can install https://github.com/defunkt/textmate.el which will allow you to configure go-to-symbol shortcut. Default keys are OSX friendly. Go To anything - I have recently fallen in love with https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile. Try enabling grizzly with projectfile. Here is my configuration: (projectile-global-mode) (setq projectile-enable-caching t) (setq projectile-completion-system 'grizzl) (define-key *grizzl-keymap* (kbd "C-n") 'grizzl-set-selection-1) (define-key *grizzl-keymap* (kbd "C-p") 'grizzl-set-selection+1) It is just absolutely brilliant.

The conference attracts the best Python programmers across the country and abroad. This year, PyCon India is celebrating the month of August as Python Month, with aim of increasing the awareness and awesomeness of Python Programming Language within the student community in India. WHAT IS PYTHON: Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for a diverse area of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learnt in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code. Some of the biggest names in the industry like Mozilla, Google, YouTube, Dropbox, SurveyMonkey, Bitly and numerous others also use Python for providing the services a lot of users are familiar with. Because Python is very easy to learn and at the same time very powerful, it is used as the first programming language in introductory courses of Computer Science in many universities and high schools. In India, Kerala state and CBSE have already adopted Python in their school syllabus. HOW YOU CAN HELP Python month will be organized and completely run by volunteers, anyone who wants to participate is welcome and all help is appreciated. This is a big task to handle and therefore requires lot of volunteer support. Here is how you can help. 1. If you are a Python programmer and please give a talk / workshop at a college in your city. 2. If you are a professor or student, please facilitate the a workshop in your college. 3. Help us in coordinating Python Month by talking to colleges to arrange workshops. Interested? Please sign up here - http://bit.ly/pythonmonth Have any questions or suggestions?

I am an undergrad at Pune Institute Of Computer Technology which is one of the premier institutions in Maharashtra. Since Python is such a simple and powerful language and most of the students in my college are novice in Python, I would love to let fellow PICTians have an opportunity to get started in Python. Since I am a Google Student Ambassador of PICT I have a decent experience of working with bureaucracy for arranging the events and all. Just let me know about the exact agenda of workshop.

What is the difference in the environment where it works Vs where is doesn't work ? Such problem is often seen where a script when executed from terminal works, but when executed via cron doesn't work , and most times such errors are attributed to path problems.

If there's an uncaught exception, the interpreter dies with a nice traceback. Perl, if I remember correctly, doesn't have this built into the core and requires a third party package to enable it. > Similliarly for python is there any specific package that i can use or > do i need to use try catch every time. Exceptions need to be caught at the right level and dealt with over there. If something breaks and you get an exception that percolates to the top, you can catch it and invoke your debugger along with some stack information. This is what many web frameworks and toolkits do[1].
