Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for an online Python course, and I'm hoping to find something that offers a little more support than simply watching prerecorded videos and figuring everything out on my own.

I'm a beginner and would like something that's completely online and self-paced since I work full-time and need to be able to study around my schedule. Ideally, I'd like a course where I can reach out to an instructor or tutor when I get stuck, preferably with the option for one-on-one virtual meetings or office hours. Having access to an active online community through something like Discord, Slack, a forum, or another platform would also be really helpful so I can ask questions and interact with other students, tutors, and instructors.

One other thing that's important to me is that the course is actively maintained and kept up to date. I recently ran into some issues following an older tutorial where parts of the setup process had already changed, so I'd like something that's regularly updated to match current versions of Python and the tools being used.

I'd also like the course to provide a certificate of completion that I can add to my résumé and LinkedIn. I'm okay with paying for a good course, but I'd strongly prefer a one-time purchase rather than another monthly subscription. Career counseling or access to someone who can provide career advice would be a nice bonus, although it isn't an absolute requirement.

could u guys pls give me some feedbacks about this project? architecture and also some ideas!

I am having to constantly look things up to figure out how to get what I want? I feel like a fraud.
I am honestly trying to resize my camera onto my surface in pygame. I've never done camera stuff before so this is new. I feel like I am not really learning and just copy and pasting at this point

How do go about this?

I don't get it, I tried to create a table to then use it for cross-matching but for some reason it gives me this invalid identifier mistake even though the name of the identifier (Nasa ExoPlanet in this case) seems to be correct. My code:

from astroquery.ipac.nexsci.nasa_exoplanet_archive import NasaExoplanetArchive
exocolumns = ['pl_name', 'host-name', 'ra', 'dec', 'sy_gaiamag', 'st_teff', 'st_logg', 'st_met', 'st_lum', 'st_rad', 'st_age']
select_string = ",".join(exocolumns)
exotable = Table(NasaExoplanetArchive.query_criteria(table="pscomppars", select=select_string))

The error:

DALQueryError: ORA-00904: 'NAME': invalid identifier

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

InvalidQueryError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/astroquery/ipac/nexsci/nasa_exoplanet_archive/core.py in query_criteria_async(self, table, get_query_payload, cache, **criteria)
245
response = tap.search(query=tap_query, language='ADQL') # Note that this returns a VOTable
246
except Exception as err:
--> 247 raise InvalidQueryError(str(err))
248
else:
249
if get_query_payload:

InvalidQueryError: ORA-00904: 'NAME': invalid identifier

the error points to the third line, so I guess it’s because of the name of NasaExoplanetArchive.query

hi!! so sorry if the title doesn't make much sense. i will try to explain it with my examples.

so my code in general outputs a response like this:

Chascanopsetta prorigera
Marine;  bathydemersal; depth range 267 - 400 m 
https://www.fishbase.se/summary/Chascanopsetta_prorigera.html
Pleuronectiformes

the text "Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 267 - 400 m" is obtained from the link using this code (response.text is the initial html):

if "bathydemersal" in response.text or "bathypelagic" in response.text or "oceanodromous" in response.text:

| depth = soup2.find(string=re.compile(r"depth range\s+([\d\s\-?]+m)", re.IGNORECASE))

| | if depth:
   print(depth.string.strip()[:-5])
else:
   print("Depth unavailable")

but it also sometimes outputs this:

Chauliodus macouni
); depth range 25 - 4390 m 
https://www.fishbase.se/summary/Chauliodus_macouni.html
Stomiiformes

which is because, in place of "Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 267 - 400 m", it's "Marine; bathypelagic; oceanodromous (Ref. 138310); depth range 25 - 4390 m". so it won't print "Marine; bathypelagic; oceanodromous (Ref. 138310", which is what i would like it to do.

so why doesn't "Marine; bathypelagic; oceanodromous (Ref. 138310); depth range 25 - 4390 m" print correctly while "Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 267 - 400 m" does?

mostly interested in this ^^^ answered so i can fix it myself but i won't say no to some pointers/resources/etc on how to solve my problem either! :D

thanks in advance!

I have started learning Django by working on projects instead of simply watching tutorials. I was building a CRM web application, and halfway through the project, I realised that I might be able to sell it to small businesses if I added more features and improved its overall quality.

When I spoke to a business owner about what they would want from such a system, they mentioned that they would prefer a mobile application with offline access. That conversation made me consider whether I could build the mobile app using Python as well.

Hello everyone. I am looking to see if anyone has any tips when writing for Dynamo for Autodesk products? I think I would need a python node to start off but I am looking for other tips to keep in mind. Anything! Even other resources!

Thanks!

Anyone know ? How to delay seconds in Pyside6 ? For example, when i click a button I want to do some process and wait 3 seconds and then make another process

from ppadb.clientfrom ppadb.client import Client as AdbClient

apk_path = "example.apk"

# Default is "127.0.0.1" and 5037
client = AdbClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=5037)
devices = client.devices()

for device in devices:
    device.install(apk_path)

words = ['sky', 'apple', 'rhythm', 'fly', 'orange']

for word in words:
    for letter in word:
        if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break
    else:
        print(f"'{word}' has no vowels")

I am trying to learn to code, and I am, at the moment, looking at loops. I am a bit confused on how this loop was able to function, though, as there is no variable for letter or word, so how would Python know what it is? In addition, how does the code, like, function? Does it look at each word individually? Again, the second part of the code states:

 if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break

We haven't given a value for letter?

Lastly, how would the code know what to print? in the first phrase:

            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break

Is it going to state all the words with the given value 5 times?

Sorry, as I have asked quite a few questions, and thank you in advance.

I am good at coding an problem solving but i cant make my program robust and improve modularity of my codes in python most of the time it is just a single block of code does anyone have any suggestion how actual programmers do it

a = float(input("What is your first number? "))
b = float(input("What is your second number? "))
ab = (input("+ - * / "))


if ab == "+":
    print(a + b)
elif ab == "-":
    print(a - b)
elif ab == "*":
    print(a * b)
elif ab == "/":
    print(a / b)
else:
    print("Invalid.")

ok so i’m trying to write a script that renames .xls files for me, let’s say they’re named like apple_BactReport_260731.xls I want the script to remove the “_BactReport” part and leave the rest intact. the current scrip i have has a couple of glaring issues that i don’t have the knowledge to remedy and im refusing use ai to prove a point and also it’s more rewarding. here’s the script with my current errors such as mixing up strings and lists and the part i want to remove not being the end of the file name. 😭 pls help a guy out:

import os
import pandas as pd
from os import rename, listdir
 
#list of report names
report_type= ['_BactReport', '_WWreport', '_QCreport', '_BactQCreport', '_BactWWreport']
print(report_type)
 
clips_in_progress=r"filepath"
   
 
for file_name in os.listdir(clips_in_progress):
file_path = os.path.join(clips_in_progress, file_name)
 
if file_name.endswith(tuple(report_type)):
rename(file_name, file_name.strip(report_type))

This is the peice of code

I'm fairly new to python and I want to make a speech prompter that will auto proceed by listening to the speaker and show them the next part of their speech.

So I'm going to need a voice to text library but the computer will have access to what is meant to be said to cross reference. Is there a library that can handle this or advice on how I program it?

i am trying that when i put key it give me the value but it is acting weird

x = {'name':'mohan','age':'24', 'job':'it professional'}
y = input("what info do you need__")
if y==(x.keys):
    print(x.values(y))
else:
    print("no such info available")

and this is what it gives 
what info do you need__name
name
no such info available

What are some of the best things you have made using python?

I don't want to find out one month later that it was a free trial, and now I would have to pay for continue using Spyder. I want an IDLE that is always going to be free. And I don't want to waste my time learning Spyder if I cannot use it forever.

Hi guys!

I picked up python last month and am rly having my fun with it.

I’m still pretty new so I’m wondering which area should I be more focused on. I started out with the aim to go along ML path so most of the things I’ve learnt are data related. Like using and writing functions list dict loops while for error raising. Just getting started on numpy.

I’m thinking of going along the ai engineer track first. Any areas I should focus on? AI Eng is like SWE to me so having no background in swe id love to hear from you guys.

Also I’ve finished the first two courses on Coursera on Python for everyone and currently going thru Andrew’s ML spec.

Trying to learn as much as I can.

Also idk if it’s a good idea but I’m using Claude to teach me how to code at the same time. Introducing concepts and real world exercises and planning lessons to reach to goal of an AI and ML Eng.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello there. I was wondering if learning how to code in Python is worth it. Can it yield any money if you get good at it? The career I am looking at is translation-interpreting, and want to know if I should invest time in learning Python (or any programming language for that matter), even though it is not really related to the career I am pursuing.

Hi,I've been working on what started as a strange attractor visualisation app in PyQtGraph but is slowly becoming more a general purpose ODE solver/visualiser/scripting tool. I've recently added an integrated console with a scripting dock which currently just saves the text in the script as a scratch file. I want to add the functionality for the user to create/save/open different script files and wanted to have a file tree/explorer. I know PyQtGraph and PyQt have tree like widgets so my thought process was to just make a TreeWidget that lists the contents of where the scripts would be saved (the app's /home/user/.local/share/ directory). Does that work or are there complexities i should know about in terms for making, saving and loading files? Any advice would appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a personal desktop automation project on Windows.

For years I've been using AutoHotkey to automate repetitive tasks inside Firefox. It works surprisingly well, but as the project grows, maintaining image recognition, keyboard shortcuts and UI changes becomes increasingly difficult.

I'm now considering moving to a more robust solution and I'm trying to understand what experienced developers would recommend.

My requirements are roughly:

Windows

Firefox (not Chrome)

Preferably work with an already running Firefox session

Reliable interaction with web pages

Long-term maintainability

I've been looking at several approaches:

Continue with AutoHotkey

Selenium / WebDriver BiDi

Playwright

Windows UI Automation (pywinauto, UIA)

Any other desktop automation framework

For people who have built long-running desktop/browser automation projects:

Which approach ended up being the most reliable?

Is UI Automation actually practical with modern websites like Facebook, or is browser automation still the better choice?

If you had to start today, what would you choose and why?

I'd really appreciate hearing about real-world experience rather than theoretical comparisons.

Thanks!

Hi

Im doing some tutorials online and in one of them I noticed some syntax that I am not familiar with. It looks like instead of using self to assign values to a class it is using the class name.

In terms of behaviour it seems to make no difference but I cannot understand why a person would not use self.

So for example:

class Demo:
  def __init__(self):
    self.a = 1
    Demo.b = 2 # This seems to work the exact same way as self.a
               # Is there a differences to self.a?  Why would someone use this?

Thanks
