Use an editor with line numbers visible?


I've been a silent lurker on this list for awhile learning python as I
read what other people were doing with it.

The teacher in me wants you to get your questions answered, but the
volunteer in me wants you to not waste my time and the time of other
people on this list.

This is clearly not a python question.

It is a question on what tools are needed to write effective code
regardless of language.

Its starting to appear as if you are too lazy to even try to address
your own problems on your own, and with Google at your fingertips
there is no excuse for this.

Perhaps you are trying, and it just appears as if you are not trying.
Perhaps though, you really aren't trying.

A word of warning, most of us have email clients that can silently
delete messages from specific email addresses without having to read
them. You don't want to be on the ignore list for people who can help
you but don't want to spoon feed you in the process.

Good luck learning python.
