HI, I am trying to use python 3.10-1 on windows but, When I try to open
python, it crashes. Anaconda also does not work. When I try to use the
powershell, it gives me an error message saying that this is not recognized
as a valid cmdlet. Please help.

I’ve just begun a serious study of using Python as an aspiring programmer/data

Can someone please walk me through how to download Python, SO THAT I will be
able to import numpy?
Thanks,

It's small wonder that neophytes try to cram Python behaviors into
terms and computing concepts they already understand from learning
other languages, and that they fail to do so. What's mystifying is
that when Pythonistas reply to their messages, they universally seem

Why, because it has the word "value" in the definition? It's not
circular. The thing being defined is "value of an object". The word
"value" has a pre-existing well-understood natural language definiti

That isn't its *VALUE* -- it's its *IDENTITY*. My weight is not my
ide
sentation of the date when printed, and a numeric value
(or some other time object) when used in other expressions, both from
a philisophical and practical standpoint.
Furthermore it falls down semantically; an object has parts that are
not part of its value, and therefore the value and the objec
iven expression or context.
If you like, you could think of the value of an object as the set of
all possible values to which the object may evaluate in every possible
context, given a particular state of the object.

On a Linux system (and likely most modern Unix systems): l
you are...
If you only want to learn to program to solve your own problems, then
it doesn't really matter. The only reason to learn additional
languages is if you find a case where what you've learned doesn't
solve your problem, or the solution is a lot harder than it should be.
l to see how it does what it does.
But, if I were you, I'd just download something like swatch, and be
done with it. :)

Yeah, except the application spe
a == 0 or b == 0:
return True
return (abs(a) == a) == (abs(b) == b)
The first version *almost* works for the duplicitous zero:
>>> sign(-0, 1)
True
>>> sign(0, 1)
True
>>> sign(0, -1)
False
Close, but no cigar.

I'd be happy to, but I can't imagine what sort of documentation would
help you. It sounds like what you want to do, basically, is write a
program to read commands from stdin
e.
Instead of just running xterm, you can run "xterm -e 'cmd foo bar'"
where cmd is the program to run and foo and bar are its arguments.
The problem is that as soon as the program exits, xterm will exit
also.

Apple started using it that way. And it does
not change the fact that you (and others like you) are being stubborn
by refusing to accept that simple truth. If you're unable to see that
by now, I don't imagine there's anything I can do to help you, so I
give up trying to convince you. [...and there was much rejoicing.]

Clearly a lot of people find that it is less simple TO USE. The point
of computers is to make hard things easier... if there is a task that
is annoying, or tedious, o
o see what was used.
It's bad programming, but the world is full of bad programmers, and we
don't always have the choice not to use their code. Isn't one of
Python's goals to minimize opportunities for bad programming?
Providing a keyword equivalent to self and removing
def __init__():
@.increment = 2
def bar(a)
return a + @.increment
I'm sure all the Pythonistas will hate this idea though... ;-) To be
honest, it smacks a little of Perl's magic variables, which I actually
hate with a passion. This is the only p
aningful names, with fairly obvious and
well-understood exceptions.

ign mentioning PCs is
less than 10 years old (though I can't quickly find any references as
to the date). The popularization of the term PC to refer to
Intel-compatible machines running Microsoft OSes PREDATES APPLE'S AD
CAMPAIGN BY OVER 10 YEARS.
Therefore none of your points are val
your whining and get used to the idea that THE REST OF
THE WORLD uses PC to mean a Windows box.

has come to have several meanings, one of which is the above. You may
not like it, but we're pretty much stuck with the term, so you may as
well get used to it.
