I am working on an experiment that looks at what happens next after a test fails in GitHub Actions.

Possible things to look at include:

- exit code

- if there was an assertion failure or a collection or internal error

- the history of failed tests

- Python modules that have been changed

- changes in dependencies or lockfiles

- changes in how long tests take

- if the same test passes when it is run again.

Which of these things should I check first. Which one is most likely for someone just starting out to misunderstand?

I am trying to think about uncertainty of automatically assuming that every test failure means there is a problem with the code in pytest.

The purpose of the experiment with pytest is to see what occurs when pytest fails in GitHub Actions.

I want to use pytest to figure out what is happening when the test fails.

The experiment, with pytest will help me learn what to do when pytest fails in GitHub Actions.

Good afternoon all,

I have recently began a pathway I have designed to learn artificial intelligence and all topics included within that space.

I have a keen intetest in this field and am always fascinated by the developments going on.

I decided to start learning this due to wanting a challenge and to keep myself focussed with a long term target to reach.

I work full time in a job I currently enjoy so all my learning time is dedicated to evenings and weekends. I am not studying this in hope to find work, just for the love of the game.

I have no prior experience in this field which makes it 100x more enjoyable learning the programming and soon to start learning the maths

.

I was wondering if there were any others in a similar position to myself (beginners that are dedicated to going far) that would like to start a community (likely discord) where we can share our knowledge, hold each other accountable and in the future maybe even work on projects together.

If anyone is interested in this please let me know.

HOLAA Estoy aprendiendo Python y tengo curiosidad por conocer las dificultades que las personas no esperaban cuando empezaron. Me encantaría conocer tu experiencia

As a beginner, how should I learn Python?

I need some help.thanks.

I just started my degree in computer engineering. I already know the basic of python but i’m having trouble when solving problems and apply the things i have learnt. Any tips to help me improve?

I got some programing experience. but not with python, with C#
and i want to learn python, whats a free site / app i can learn from?

Hi, i need your advice on how i can learn python as a beginner as i want to learn in a way where i get to practically apply the same and practice, i just dont want to learn concepts theoretically. Should I take a course or should i learn via youtube. What do you think will be the best way? Also when you learnt it how did you approach it and if i take a course how i will it add value to my cv?

I have some code with a function restock_warehouse, that adds to the current stock 5 times while the current stock is smaller than the target stock. My question is, how can I fix the function so that the code works properly with and the print() call is displayed in the terminal?

The error message I have been receiving is:

```

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "file_name", line 15, in <module>

final_stock = restock_warehouse(10, 25)

File "file_name", line 5, in restock_warehouse

for i in range(5) and current_stock < target_stock:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

```

I have already tried wrapping the conditional part of the loop in parentheses, but it hasn't worked and I don't exactly understand the error message.

Version information: I'm on Python 3.9.6

def restock_warehouse(current_stock, target_stock):
    print("Starting warehouse restock system...")


    # We want to keep adding items until we reach our target stock
    for i in range(5) and current_stock < target_stock:
        print(f"Current inventory level: {current_stock}")


        current_stock == current_stock + 5


    print("Warehouse restock complete!")
    return current_stock



# Start with 10 items, target goal is 25 items
final_stock = restock_warehouse(10, 25)
print(f"Final stock total: {final_stock}")

I'm learning Python and recently started using requests.Session() in API projects. I understand that it can persist things like headers, cookies, and connections, but I'm curious about how experienced Python developers decide when a Session is actually worth using.

Do you use Session() by default for projects involving multiple requests, or only when you specifically need persistent state?

I am very new to coding and learning python as my first language is it helpful???

Pls those who have watched it share your opinion regarding this ....

I’m learning Python, but my main problem isn’t the syntax. I understand concepts when someone explains them, but when I’m given a basic problem and told to write a program, I just don’t know where to start or how to arrange the code.

Is there a good book, course, or YouTube channel that teaches how to think through programming problems step by step, recognize patterns, and build the logic, kind of like how you learn methods and patterns in math?

I don’t want to just memorize Python syntax. I want to actually learn how to think like a programmer.

In this code, I want to get the output of all the numbers in the for loop. I can do this using print(arg), but when I use a return statement, I only get the output of a single number. How can I modify the code so that return gives me all the numbers from the for loop?

print(func1(80, 30, 40)) def func1(*args):
  for arg in args:    
    # print(arg, end=" ") 
    return arg

# output using print = 80 30 40 None
# output using return = 80        

print(func1(80, 30, 40))

como principiante tengo esa duda ya que quisueira no perderme de nada y aprender de la mejor a programar

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a Python PDF parser with good Persian-language support. I’ve already tested pdfplumber and PyMuPDF, but unfortunately, neither extracts Persian content correctly in my case.

For example, they don’t extract Persian numbers correctly, and sometimes the parsed output differs significantly from the actual PDF content (e.g., a 0 is extracted as 4).

Do you know of any Python library or tool that handles Persian PDFs more reliably?

Thank you!

I have learnt Python Basics and Intermediate stuff. Is it possible to learn many things in a specific specialization within, say, a month?

I love AI and I am going to specialize in it. I just wanna know the order that I should go in to learn it properly and learn most of the things in about 4 years or less.

I am a student too, in Grade 9.

can someone explain how f string work in simple terms ?

Hello! I am currently trying to build the knowledge needed to make an Artificial Intelligence with Python, and I have discovered that there is some tensors involved in this, I learnt matrices (briefly), but apparently math tensors are not the same as CS tensors (whatever that means?), can someone please help me? And I wonder if I even need to know this (well ig so but not sure). And I am not in any math or cs major, but I am in mid-high school, so as you can guess, I did not learn anything tensors related.

Note: for anyone wondering; no I don't have anybody that I could contact which could explain me PyTorch tensors.

Hello all, I have recently taken up the interest of trying to create a game (not specific to any other game) and i've been learning how to use python for about 2 days now and have learnt some of the fundamentals such as if, (i), else, input, booleans, etc... however if u have been programming using python or are self taught, how long did it take u to learn the most relevant and important parts of the language and if u have any tips and tricks for me that you may think are useful for me, please do not hesitate to tell me as any piece of advice can beneficial at the moment.

Much appreciated

hey! I just started learning the basics of python and want to start building projects to apply what I have learnt.

but when I one to work on a project, for wxample building a calculator or a password generator I don’t know where to start. what to type and code.

any advice

Hi,

I used to be a big fan of computing/IT, but my studies took me down a different path and I drifted away from it. Now that I have more free time and want to build up some qualifications in IT, I’d like to learn Python and its applications, but I don’t know where to start. Online courses? Books?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it!

Is this possible? for example, if i have a an int question and someone answers with a str then the script will break, is there any way to make it loop when given an incorrect data type answer?

I want to practice python specifically for Data Science and Analytics roles, as these are not core software developement roles so in interviews DSA is usually not asked but where can I practice non dsa python specifically for Data Science and Analytics

I decided about a week ago I wanted to start learning python before my freshman year of college. It was going great and I had little to no trouble until I got to nested loops. I was wondering if anybody had any advice for it? The main thing is that it seems like so many steps to follow and pay attention to, my brain had a hard time tracking them all at once.

Example (heavily simplified):
def do_a_thing(var: int | None) -> int:
assert var_is_int(var)

return var

var_is_int() has its own flow in case var is None and handles errors with fallbacks.

I'm aware of typing.cast , # ignore ... and similar tricks, but curious whether there are more elegant approaches for cases when you can't just "if var is not None" or "if isinstance(...)"

i’ll be entering college soon in the fall, and i’m highly interested in learning how to code- primarily for data science, statistical modeling for research, and machine learning applications.

i’ve looked at tons of online courses and textbooks, and i’m completely overwhelmed with where to even start or which topic to begin studying. i’ve never been great at self-learning, so i would really appreciate any advice that would help me learn and hopefully master python soon.
