Thanks for the vid! I have Python 2.6.5 installed at the moment. I suppose I could upgrade to 3.2? I'm running Ubuntu Lucid at the moment, and the 2.6.5 came installed by default. Hopefully 2.6.2 will suffice for now. We'll see. Great explanations & tutorial. I can follow this with much confidence.

[EliahooProductions]

@brobriobri I'm pretty sure it's all the same for the most part. In 3.2 the input function is raw_input in 2.x. eval(input()) is just input in 2.x. docs.python . org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html will explain all the differences.

[brobriobri]

@EliahooProductions Thanks for the info. I did try installing 3.2, however now I think I have BOTH versions installed. If I type 'python' (in terminal), it keeps going to the 2.6 version. if I type python3 -v , the python version 3.2 will open. Don't know why as of yet.

[brobriobri]

@EliahooProductions ... OK....Got python version 3.1 (not 3.2 which I thought it was) opening up in terminal by default now. I guess I'm good, and up to snuff for now. On with the turorials! (and thanks again, Eliahoo)

smart kid

[NoFanofCops]

Seriously thanks !!! python 3.2, I just downloaded it was doing the print "hello world" and you just made me realize my mistake haha thanks

[Zander101084]

@NoFanofCops it's a new thing in 3.2. I don't know why. if you did,

print "hello world", you did it right according to earlier versions. I think not it's; Print ("hello world")

[NoFanofCops]

Seriously thanks !!! python 3.2, I just downloaded it was doing the print "hello world" and you just made me realize my mistake haha thanks

I am an old guy and I want to learn python. You are a good teacher and I am learning alot from your tutorials. You need to keep making these videos so I can learn to use these computer things. So get busy kid and start making more videos so I can learn how to program a time machine and take me back to the future so I can invent Microsoft and make it less sucky. I will split the profits with you, so hurry up and make some more videos.

Question: Which python version should I install?

[EliahooProductions]

@TheExpressWay In my tutorials I will be using python 3.2. Most tutorials on Youtube are made in python 2.7 but because the new versions of python will come out will only be 3.x I picked 3.2. If there is ever a new 3.x version of python then all of this in my tutorial will still apply. Just if you are confused about some of the differences from 2.7 and 3.2, in my second line of code I put print("hello world"), if it was 2.7 it would be print "hello world." I hope that cleared things up for you.
