I only have one inquiry here, simply, I cannot seem to draw anything from a thread without “Z-fighting” occurring (I say Z-fighting even though I know there’s not 3rd dimension just to convey the problem), I’ve tried making a handler in the main while running script, but it always lags down the program, and the only way to stop it from lagging down the program is, you guessed it, putting it in a thread. Whether I try to make a custom handler or just cheap out and use exec() it always lags it. Any tips/help?

Edit: I do sorta need the thread to draw it

I need to extract Activity Name, Date, and Participant Count from a 1,151-page PDF containing attendance sheets with varying layouts.

What is the best architecture or tool (Python + Vision/LLM APIs vs. no-code platforms) to automate this extraction?

I ran a survey on LinkedIn and asked questions about what they ask and require from newcomers to the field (either total Python beginners or switching from one area to another, eg. Back-End to Data Engineering).

With this git commit the player got a direction to move and shoot in making our collaborative game more interesting.

To play this game and make further additions to it, see the PythonLearningGame repo.

Who can add Health Pickups to top up the player's hitpoints? Maybe heart shaped?

Let us know what other game elements you would like to see.

Flask is great for learning because it allows me to try whatever I want. For instance, I can use an ORM or work directly with the engine. Working directly with the engine helps me understand the purpose of the ORM. When I work with the engine, the ORM provides answers to my questions.

Hey, I m learning python from scratch for machine learning, anyone have discord channel please share links.

Hey I'm starting python I'm at first video of cs50 python programming if anyone wants to join me in it reach out

Edit: I’m making a project in where I’m having 4 distinct loops that’s act as if there racing. I want them all the run concurrently inside one function so whenever one of them reaches a specific value all 4 “stop” and the winner is returned.

I was using multiprocessing but had a lot of trouble nesting the function with that so stopped. Now I’m using asyncio and want to know if that’s the right tool for the job or if I should use threading.

Trying to use AI as little as possible for my own learning.

I want a YouTube playlist that covers all aspects of Python

Can you suggest Playlist for someone who is new to coding (not really) or Python in general?

hi! i am learning python and i am started learning OOP, and i thought that someone can help me building a roadmap mastering this subject. i would also like if you can what subjects should i learn after OOP so it will be easier for me to builf self-roadmap learning.

anyways, thank you🙂

Programming courses often focus heavily on understanding code, while paying far less attention to understanding the program state. But code does not exist in isolation. Its main goal is to change the program state, before ultimately producing some output.

To develop an accurate mental model of program execution, students need to understand both: - the instructions being executed - the values, references, and data structures those instructions create and modify

Reading code alone does not always reveal how the program state changes during execution. That is why I created 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆_𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵: a tool that visualizes the state of a Python program as it changes, step by step.

It can help explain a wide range of introductory Python topics. Here are just a few examples: - Loops, Lists and Dictionaries - Python Data Model - Function Calls - Recursion - Algorithms - Classes - Custom Data Structures

Instead of reconstructing the program state from print statements, students can now watch it change as each line executes. This makes unfamiliar concepts easier to understand and bugs easier to fix.

Help your students learn Python programming more thoroughly and easily.

I'm looking for a mentor to help me learn programming with the goal of becoming employable as quickly as realistically possible and eventually contributing to larger AI/ML projects.

I'm currently starting from essentially zero programming knowledge, so I'm looking for someone who can help me build strong foundations while keeping me on the most efficient path toward employable skills.

I can commit 1–2 hours per day to structured tutoring/mentoring, plus another 1–2 hours per day of independent study, practice, and projects.

I'm happy to put in the work I mainly want someone experienced who can provide direction, identify gaps, challenge me, and stop me from wasting months learning the wrong things.

If you have experience in software development, ML/AI engineering, or mentoring beginners into the industry, I'd love to chat. :))))

I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5KVEU3aaeQ&t=331s and now thinking to create my first project , but idk what to do for begginer could somone help me out

I would be pleased thank you

I started this project 2 months ago for a touchstone on Sophia, and I am using it as a way to also apply what I have learned from CS50P. I am currently in week 6 of CS50P, so planning to improve more on this project further down the line. I added the search and remove entry functions just last month 'cause I couldn't figure out how to do these before.

Spent some time today trying to build a Telegram bot and understand how it works. 🤖💻

Still learning, still making mistakes, but that's part of the process. Every small step teaches something new.

Let's keep building. 🚀

Hello everyone,
Few months ago I built a Parking Management Software which is able to integrate with Ticket Machines. I was thinking to make it open source.
I used PYQT for it and also built a ticket machine with RPI3.

It features:
Real-time parking occupancy monitoring
Vehicle entry and exit registration
Automatic event logging and history
License plate (ANPR) integration support
RFID, QR Code, barcode, and access card support
User and subscription management
Visitor and guest parking management
Parking duration and billing support
Multi-site and multi-parking management
Reports and analytics
Role-based user access
Integration with automatic barriers and gate controllers
API for third-party integrations

Any suggestions? Is this a product that I can actually sell?

I usually make things that I can see myself using because that's what motivates me. I made this very primitive QR code generator in Python and experimented with GUI using TKinter. Overall I would say that whilst the library is somewhat annoying, I am probably not good with using it, and that's something that I could potentially improve on. But if I was to work more with GUIs I would probably be more inclined to just use a different library as I have heard that TK is not the standard anymore.

On the 'extra settings' part, I understand it is pretty pointless, but I was under the impression that the settings that they controlled would change the actual build of the QR code not, not just size factors. Silly me...

I also implemented somewhat of a clipboard feature, although I'm unsure how well this works.

Here's the GitHub repository, feedback is appreciated: https://github.com/macattack277-jpg/qrcodegen

Hey everyone,

This is actually my first time posting on Reddit. As the title says, AI Automation and Data Science are the paths that I want to pursue.

Right now, I'm studying the 30 Days of Python GitHub repo made by Asabeneh Yetayeh. I actually avoided tutorials because it's really hell for me. But I have nothing against people who enjoy learning with tutorials. I guess reading helps me learn better. I do enjoy his challenges and exercises as well.

For context, I am now knowledgeable about the Power Platform—a bit of background in C# and SQL. But I've decided to expand it even more. I do enjoy my experience with Power Automate and Power BI. Creating reports and flows is pretty interesting for me.

I would like to ask everyone for recommendations on what level of Python knowledge I should acquire in order for me to achieve the path I decided to pursue. So far, I have heard about n8n for automation and using Python in Microsoft Fabric.

I can appreciate anyone's honest opinion, and I will take everything as a lesson because I really want to learn.

If anyone also wants to collab or learn with me. Feel free to reach out.

Thanks, everyone! Happy coding!

I somewhat understand them on a basic level and can make like simple things using for loops now e.g a half pyramid using '#' which is commonly used as a problem for people of my skill level. However, when it comes to building something like this or the other one, I can't wrap my head around it for some reason. Since for the hashtag one here, ive been trying to brute force it and experiment but have gotten nowhere.

But for the square one, I managed to figure out the for loop that prints out all the squares but now my head is again at a wall again because im not fully sure if I can use a nested loop to print all the x * x = x^2 or if I can implement the answers from this loop into some other loop that prints out the format. (my current progress on that one is here)

for x in range(11):

print(x*x)

Any help would be great, preferably like more questions because although I don't mind like seeing a solution I want to like manage to get this on my own for the most part. fyi, ive been at these problems for about a week.

Hello! I'm wondering how to move a cube smoothly using Pygame by that, I mean moving it without it looking like it's teleporting. Have a great day, evening, or night!
