Re: extreme newbie
I see your point, although I don't think there is much a 14 year old can do to sue someone. . . I'm sure my code won't be that valuable untill I'm older though. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

the problem is that i don't even know the language yet. . . -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
extreme newbie
Hello programmers, I stumbled onto the python language by chance and it looks like a great language. Although from what I've read so far (which isn't much) I've guessed that python is purely an interpreted language unless its compiled into another language (ie. it needs python installed in order to run programs). Is this correct? If it is, I guess my plan of action would be to use python embeded in java applets. Another question I have: Does any one know any really good, really easy to understand python books? I would prefer one that is avalible online for free, but I would also like to know my choices in print. Thanks in advance for any advice, cpunerd4 P.S. I'm 14 and I know HTML, PHP, and I know about many others! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: extreme newbie
thanks all for the advice. The reason I was thinking about using java (or C or something) was that it is a little more secure than distributing the source code isn't it? And also, from what I know, the Java virtual machine is more popular (and installed on more computers). Although it might take me awhile to get to that stage. once again thanks for your advice. The Dive into Python book looks promising. cpunerd4 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: extreme newbie
what is this py2exe thing? I think its what i've been looking for...(and inno setup was in my plans (or maby null soft installer...)). Another reason I was thinging java was because you can run it in the browser. Is py2exe included? Where can I find it? thanks, cpunerd4 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: extreme newbie
what I mean by secure is that no one can steal the code. I want to create comercial applications eventually. (although I will work on open source I hope, so don't get mad at me) and calling me cpunerd4 will be fine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: extreme newbie
even so, crackers have a harder time getting into compiled programs rather than intepreted languages. I know hiding the code won't stop all crackers but it will stop some of the casual theifs won't it? It's not so much that they could steal code, it's that they could alter it and release it somewere else and make their own money off it. cpunerd4 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: extreme newbie
by the way, you guys have talked me out of java. Im thinking about this py2exe thing. (anyother suggestions) I like this list. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
