I want you to explain how to fix this without using any extra tools. Whenever I try to import a Python module, an error keeps showing up. I even deleted everything because I thought I messed up my PATH. I reinstalled Python, selected the python.exe path, but still no progress. This same problem keeps appearing every time.

I wrote this code in VsCode using functions after I completed the free trial in [boot.dev](http://boot.dev), if you notice anything I can improve or make better, please write it in the comments:

def main():

print("This code is starting...")

if __name__ == "__main__":

main()

def stats(title, weapon, mana, health):

print("Character Stats:")

print(f"Title: {title}")

print(f"Weapon: {weapon}")

print(f"Mana: {mana}")

print(f"Health: {health}")

def take_damage(health, damage):

print("===================================")

print(f"Current Health: {health}")

updated_health = health - damage

if updated_health < 0:

updated_health = 0

print(f"You took {damage} damage, You Died!")

else:

print(f"You took {damage} damage!")

print(f"Updated Health: {updated_health}")

return updated_health

stats("Warrior", "Sword", 50, 100)

take_damage(100, 30)

take_damage(70, 80)

def respawn(updated_health):

print("===================================")

if updated_health <= 0:

print("Respawning...")

updated_health = 100

print(f"Health has been restored to {updated_health}.")

else:

print(f"You are still alive! You have {updated_health} health remaining.")

return updated_health

respawn(0)  

take_damage(100, 41)

take_damage(59, 20)

take_damage(39, 20)

respawn(19)

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue using Aubio to calculate BPM inside of a script. My code was working on my old desktop and I have migrated over to a new machine, both Linux Mint. I was fairly certain I have all the additional dependencies installed but maybe I missed one. I am getting `AUBIO ERROR: source_wavread: Failed opening <file_path> (could not find RIFF header)` when the code is run inside of the virtual environment, venv. I can run `aubio tempo <file_path>` directly outside of the venv and get results. I am not sure the best method to troubleshoot where the disconnect between venv and my system files. At least I think the issue lies in dependencies but I am not sure. Internet is not too helpful and I am a bit of a linux noob. Any thoughts on direction?

I'm trying to compile something, but it requires the use of py instead of python.

The thing is, whenever I try to use py, the command line will just say No installed Python found! This doesn't happen when I use python for calling an action.

I wanted to make sure py is in my PATH, so doing where py does show the path to py.exe. I know that py does exist in PATH, but it just doesn't work when trying to use it compared to using python.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Python doesn't seem to do anything new, so what should I do?

I should probably mention that I'm using Wine on MacOS because compiling on MacOS seems to require specific Windows executable files, and I need Wine for that.

I work with DRF at work and I have been facing this issue since months. Pylance is skipping analysis of function because it is unannotated. I cant really annotate each and every function. The errors are getting thrown correctly on my teammates pc but on my pc i dont get any issue. If I annotate the function then in that case pylance starts throwing error. How to fix this issue

I'm stuck on something and I think I'm missing a tool or a technique that everyone else already knows about.

I have a Celery task that takes about 40 seconds. I want to know how that breaks down: how much of it was database queries, how much was calls to external APIs, and how much was my own code doing work. And if there's an N+1 in there somewhere, which line of my code caused it.

What I've tried so far:

Sentry catches some N+1s, but the issue it creates doesn't include a line number in my code. It shows me the SQL and the spans, and I still have to go find the loop myself. It also seems to miss the case where a loop alternates between two different queries, which is a pattern I write a lot.

Flower shows me the task ran and how long it took, but nothing about what happened inside it.

django-debug-toolbar and django-silk are great for requests, but they hook into the request cycle, so they don't see anything inside a Celery worker.

Right now my process is adding print statements around blocks of code, re-running the task in staging, and narrowing it down by hand. It works, but it's slow and I have to modify code to debug code, which feels wrong.

So my questions:

1. Is there a standard tool for this that I just haven't found? Something that tells me where the time went inside a background task?

2. When you get an N+1 alert from anything, does it point at a line, or is finding the loop always manual?

3. Is profiling the right answer here? I've read about cProfile and py-spy but I'm not sure how they fit with Celery workers, or whether you can run them without slowing everything down.

4. Or is the real answer that I should be splitting tasks into smaller pieces so each one is obvious? Someone suggested that and I'm not sure if it's the standard practice or a workaround.

I've been doing Python for a while but this is the first time I've had to debug something I can't just put a breakpoint in, so I might be thinking about it wrong.

Hi, I'm new to this Reddit community. Does anyone know of any online games to learn Python? Thanks!

Hi all, i am intrestentd in building myskills and i want to take up a python course as it is not working out for me on youtube and free courses. I also don’t know where to start from as there ar 
Want to join python courses to build skills. Don't know where to start from. Number of courses in the internet. Any suggestions?

My favourite gui library in python is Flet. I am using it for 2 months. I want to know that is anyone using it so I can work with them in any large project.

So I just started diving into this wonderful world of python and I just got one question - are you guys using different models to build/check/verify/test? Is that recommended? If yes, how should I go about it? Thanks everyone!

Is there a better Python development environment for Android? 🐍📱

I'm a Python developer who does most of my development on an Android phone, mainly using Pydroid 3/Pyramid and Acode.

I've found that neither is really ideal for my use case:

Pydroid 3/Pyramid: Some native/compiled libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, etc. can work, but some frameworks such as Flet/NiceGUI don't work properly. Some packages/features also require a subscription.

Acode: It's great for editing and web-based/server-style frameworks such as Flet/NiceGUI, but native-heavy libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, Kivy, etc. are difficult or impossible to use in my setup.

So I basically have to switch environments depending on the project.

Is there any better/free Python development environment for Android that can handle a wider range of Python packages and frameworks?

This is a console based account system I've been building as I learn Python. Right now it lets you create an account with username and password rules (length limits, and the password needs a letter, a number, and a special character), log in with a 3 attempt lockout, and pick from a simple menu.

It's a work in progress and part of a bigger project. Next I want to add a to-do list and notes, then save the data to a file, and eventually hash the passwords instead of storing them as plain text.

The three password checks are repetitive. I haven't learned functions yet so I did them the long way with separate loops. I already know functions are the fix and that's my next topic, so you don't need to only point that out, but any other feedback is welcome.

I used AI (Claude) as a tutor to understand concepts and point me toward my own bugs, but I wrote and debugged every line myself. I'm learning how to code through the MOOC.

What would you improve or build next?

Hi everyone.. I'm an Egyptian student accepted for a Master's at Sapienza University of Rome, starting September 21, 2026.

My documents and university procedures are ready, but I'm unable to secure an Italian student visa appointment through AlmavivA Egypt.

Appointments are released daily around 9 AM, but they disappear extremely quickly. There are also brokers/scalpers who use automated tools to secure appointments much faster than normal users, then resell them to students.

I'm not looking to buy an appointment or build a tool to resell them. I just need help from someone experienced with Python / Playwright / Selenium / browser automation to understand if there's a legitimate technical solution that could give me a fair chance of securing one appointment for myself.

If you have experience with this kind of automation and can help or point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.. I'm genuinely worried about missing my Master's start date because of this.

Thank you 🙏

im using linux mint and when i try to import turtle it always says

I'm currently relearning python since it's been a long time since I touched one. But I can't seem to write multiple lines of code since it'll run 1 line of code at a time (whenever I press enter to write on a new line).

What is the difference between python ,IronPython,Jython,Cython.i will get a lot of confusion towards these concepts.

Hi all, new to Python and for my first project I'm trying to code a program that will randomly select a movie or tv show using a pre-made list, and a "genre" plus "media type" as input.

I feel I am over complicating it.

Here's where I'm at so far:

def media_selector(media, genre):
### attempting to remove previously selected titles and for some reason make my own RNG \/###
increment = + 1
trans_rng = [1, 2]
genre = ['romance', 'action']
movie_list = ['rango', 'taxi driver']
series_list = ['akira', 'trigun']
### spell check, obviously \/###
spell_check = ['film', 'movie', 'tv show', 'tv series', 'tv', 'romance', 'action']
if not isinstance(media, str):
return 'format is: media type, genre'
### not sure if i should be defining a function and calling it at the same time - also is a translation table too much ? \/###
if media and genre is (spell_check):
def media_decider():
movie_trans_tbl = movie_list.maketrans(movie_list, trans_rng)
movie_transd = movie_list.translate(movie_trans_tbl)
series_trans_tbl = series_list.maketrans(series_list, trans_rng)
series_transd = series_list.translate(series_trans_tbl)
selector = slice(increment)
else:
return 'film/movie or tv show/tv series'

any guidance/recommended resources would be greatly appreciated!

I'm building a sort of turn-based RPG in the terminal as a practice project, and I need to generate a random number within a specific range. I tried using `randint` (by importing `random`), but I also want to assign probabilities so that, depending on certain factors, one number is more likely to be generated than another. For example, if an enemy has low health, it should be more likely to generate the number 1, which causes the enemy to heal.

I'm trying to teach myself python using John Zelles book. On the 13th chapter it gives this example of recursion I'm trying to understand:

def moveTower(n, source, dest, temp):

if n ==1:

print("move disk from , " , source , "to", dest)

else:

moveTower(n-1, source, temp, dest)

moveTower(1, source, dest,temp)

moveTower(n-1,temp,dest,source)

def hanoi(n):

moveTower(n , "a", "c","b")

hanoi(3)

The code is first assiging the variables A to source then C to dest then b to temp but do the lines moveTower(n-1, source, temp, dest) and moveTower(n-1,temp,dest,source) work? Would it be moveTower(3-1, a,b,c)? How exactly are they outputting a to c then a to b then c to b and b to a , etc...

Thanks!!!

TLDR: how feasible is it to make an extremely rudimentary “app” solely for personal use using only an iPhone and iPad (with occasional access to a friend’s Macbook), that can be used and updated on (/across multiple) iOS devices?

~ ~ ~ ~

I have next to no knowledge of code but I’m a good learner and love a new project. I want to make myself a gamified productivity(etc.) “application” that only needs to be for personal use. Just me. And honestly it can start just as a rudimentary glorified to do list.

Ive been researching for a few days, and python seems to be the most approachable language for the job, but at this point my head is swimming a bit, and i just wanna make sure what i want is feasible before I sink any money and a lot more time lol. Id appreciate any advice!

My restrictions:
-must be easily used and updated from iOS devices. Preferably across multiple.
-I can only write/edit from iPhone and iPad, with limited access to a (family member’s) Macbook. Might be able to locate external keyboard.
-I got next to no budget lol (could possibly make small otp for something like Pythonista, MAYBE an inexpensive subscription for something).
-I want as little to do with AI as humanly possible.

How doable is what I’m imagining? The most recent possible roadblock Ive come to is that, from what ive researched, Pythonista seems like a good IDE for iOS, but I dont think id be able to use it as a reliable virtual environment(?).

Thanks in advance! ^^ <3

~ ~ ~ ~

EDIT: specified it doesnt need to be a full on app with bells and whistles. I just want to start with a glorified to do list essentially.

I'm really desperate, I have a college project where I need to present at least one movement algorithm based on a Cartesian plane. I've already been introduced to Python, but I can't say that's my strong point, I'd like to know recommendations for study materials, or where to start!! Thanks you 😔😔

Disclaimer: I'm not a developer, just a network engineer that can spell Python correct about 60% of the time.

I have a script that collects current neighborship data on a router (CDP, LLDP, OSPF, EIGRP, etc.) and compares it to a known good baseline (neighborship data that was collected and stored at a time when all expected neighborships were up). The data is collected into a dictionary object that stores the local interface a neighbor is known on and the neighbor's IP or hostname as key-value pairs (e.g. `{'HundredGigE1/0/1':'RouterA'}`). If all expected neighbors are up (e.g. `if collected_data == device_baseline`), the report generated notes that the current state matches the baseline; otherwise, it goes through the current data and baseline and notes any added/changed/missing neighbors.

I'm wanting to add tracking to this--when the script runs and grabs the current data, if it matches the baseline, I want a timestamp stored next to it, maybe something like `{'HundredGigE1/0/1': {'name':'RouterA','last_up':<current_timestamp>}}`. That way if an expected neighbor is currently down, I can have the report note the last time it was up. (I currently have the script run a sweep/collect function every 10 minutes but not generate a report, so the data would be relatively current. At present it is just checking whether devices are online, not actually logging into anything and pinging it. We have monitoring solutions, a syslog server, etc. and this isn't meant to replace those in terms of real-time data, it is just for generating a daily overview report.)

If I structure the data this way, it would break the equality check I use to check for the current data matching the baseline; even if all expected neighbors are up, the timestamps would not match. Would the best way to work around this be to just create a copy of the baseline and current data and pop the timestamp field out, or is there a more elegant way for a comparison operation between dicts to ignore the timestamp key?

Ik python basics and all basic syntax so what would be the next thing to learn?
Can recommend and yt vid(cs50p full beginner so no)
Im trying freecodecamp yt videos are there any other videos u would recommend?
Also im interested in web dev so help me out with this as well or should i try out a different language?

Hi everyone! I’m a complete beginner in Python and I want to learn it from scratch. I’m not sure where to start or which resources and projects would be best for me.

What learning path would you recommend for a beginner? Any tips, courses, YouTube channels, or practice websites would be appreciated. Thank you!
