Python Programming Tutorial - 1 - Installing Python

[PandaLoLzZ]

hey just a quick question is this a good place for completely new begginers to start?

[ELITExTACO]

@PandaLoLzZ Yes, python is a good starter's programming language to learn. And Pandas make me lol too.

[TheBluesftw]

Well hello there wow fella! :D Im pretty sure if wow player make tutorial it will own so lets get to work! Thanks man! :) If you need a boost call me ;) ( joke ) :D

[AussieRaver1996]

Why in every programming tutorial, the first test thing is "Hello World"?

[finmarx]

@AussieRaver1996 "Hello World" is always the first programme any programmer learns...hence why the tradition is continued...

[AussieRaver1996]

@finmarx Oh so its a tradition, ok cool, thanks

[tienthanh21697]

I am now having python 3.2.2, but i cannot use command print. Example: print "Hello" but it said it 's a invalid syntax.

[62shan]

Really nice job buddy i appreciate for your guide. Thanks

[BKsMassive]

Programming + Listening to 50 Cent + bacardi 151 = WIN!

[DJ1TWITCH1]

Once home tomorrow Ill be beginning my education with you! Hopefully this expands my knowledge

[abdullahbcheema]

If you get this: "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"

That is because the new version of Python is out and if you are using the the new version of python your code has to do the following...

print ("What ever you want to print")

Notice in the new version of python you have to put the brackets

[anglepine]

@abdullahbcheema Oh shit... Thx for the help :3

[ultislasher1]

I have a question.

If python is a programming tool,

what was python made with? lol

[RandonymousActivist]

@ultislasher1 lower-level programming language, like assembly or machine code I suppose.

[ultislasher1]

@RandonymousActivist java?

[Swolorheim]

@ultislasher1 Ask Bill Gates :D

I really don't know that either.

[ultislasher1]

@Swolorheim that's CREEPY...

you responded while I was thinking about your comment while learning how to program. on java LOL

[Swolorheim]

@ultislasher1 wait what? wich comment?

[Swolorheim]

@ultislasher1 lol, in another video or something? Can't remember it XD

lol

[ultislasher1]

@Swolorheim oh... I was asking the question to this other guy originally and I thought you were the other guy XD

[Swolorheim]

@ultislasher1 okay XD

[ultislasher1]

@Swolorheim merry christmas/hanukkah/kwanza!! =D

[Swolorheim]

@ultislasher1 Thank you! Merry christmas to you too :D

[MrThreads08]

is there other IDE that i can use in creating python programs? since this language is Open Source, there's maybe other IDE that can Execute python programs..

[infowaredm]

when you write a program or script using python in windows is the language the same in linux?

[ultislasher1]

wait what COLLEGE students learn this?! ...

[4Got10Shadow]

i doesnt work for me is says syntac error: invalid syntax..... whtas the problem???

[jaywalkah]

@4Got10Shadow If you downloaded python 3, use print ("Hello, World!")

[wonderosness]

wheres the 20th robotics and electronics tutorial?

[larsmaximilian1]

Um you say downlaod the ensest version... It says under 2.6 on oython in your vid 3.1 ??? why didnt you sue 3.1?

[jamesveale]

@KLCRC Grammar.... not "grammer"

[Krowe2020]

@larsmaximilian1 ~ i've read that Python won't work with GIMP unless it's 2.5 or 2.6 because of some language issues or something of that sort. i also read that you must install 32bit for both Python and GIMP. i have yet to have success installing. been trying for 2 days now. i hope this tutorial helps me succeed 2mar.

thenewboston: how do i find part 2 in your vast collection of videos? i am a newbie. is this the right video for me? thanx in advance!

[ultislasher1]

@larsmaximilian1 Because he did this in 2009. Only 2.6 was availabe in 2009 =D

[larsmaximilian1]

@ultislasher1 yes but doenst it say right under 2.6  3.1?

[ultislasher1]

@larsmaximilian1 lol what comment were you responding too =P

[wei750830]

nice tutor thx!!

[ThePokemonteacher]

hey bucky,can i post your video at my blog

[twinsofliberty]

@3dgravity like 300 bucks

[88multiblade]

What if Im on a Mac?

[cola1000cola2000]

What is the best? Java or python??

[MarikXYami]

@cola1000cola2000 It depends on what you're trying to use it for

if you're a programmer i suggest Java....or even visual studio since it has a interface feature and learning it is very easy

If you're a hacker

i suggest python and C/C++ their not the easiest but they are some of the best programming languages

[14koder]

@cola1000cola2000 if you are starting out, use python.

[TH3SLAYER444]

@xdfancypantsxd same!!! Lol

[italogross]

Why my Python doesnt have any colors when I typed in the codes?

Its all black and white... I believe would be much easier for me to understand what Im doing with the colors

any help?

[Rigardoful]

@italogross maybe you saved the file and didn't put ".py" at the end ..

other than that I don't know, but you can change the colors in the settings :)

[mckern5]

@italogross when you save your file, add the .py extension.

[Oronaslt]

F**k. This guy knows everything :D

[GhostXoP]

"Just keep clicking next and next until uh.. you have python" Lol better way of saying it

[T10utd]

He is using python 2. In college we are using python 3. Can i still use this tutorial to learn how to use this program?

[clawbog2]

@T10utd No, not really...

[ThePokemonteacher]

@T10utd nope you can't because some of the functions has changed.

[larsmaximilian1]

@T10utd Yes you jsut have to wtach what your doing when you use python 3.0.1 or python 3.1 you have to put () behind the print that üpretty much all. Oh and if you wanna say something like print('What up{0}', ('Whatever_%r_is)) (new python) print 'What up %r.',('whatever_%r_is') .. See minor things liek that will change

[keithpetro]

@T10utd I use python 2, but I do know that there are compatibility issues on some things.

[GovGoose]

@T10utd Yes, somewhat. The best way to learn python is through the docs, I will also make python 3 tutorials. :D Python 3 has some minor syntax changes, so if you encounter any issues with the syntax you can private message me.

[iTouzhPro]

@T10utd i think so.

[jeroeniskoning]

@T10utd Yes.

[bartjoboy]

@T10utd Yes. The changes in Python 3 are relatively small (at least, for starter :P). The only thing where you need to change is the print statement. Instead of typing print "Text goes here", you need to use braces like this: print("Text goes here")

[brassmonkey9871]

@T10utd for the most part no, they may be from the same company but they have diffrent keywords, you may want to learn the python 3 equivalint, and then translate

[Toastblademaster]

when i try to type print''Hello,world'' it says :Syntax error. can someone help?

[Rudeman72]

@Toastblademaster You're using 2 apostrophes instead of a quotation

apostrophe = '

quotation = "

To get a quotation hold shift and press the same key. Hope that helps.

[bartjoboy]

For other operating systems (Linux and Mac) it's really easy. Most Linux distro's and Mac already come with Python pre-installed. Just open up a terminal, type "python" without the quotes, and you got the same screen as him. :)

[ecvsio]

Uhm.... What if A = A + 1 ? PARADOX :P OR IS IT?

[monsterhunter99]

@ecvsio I'll be like a computer: "A is not specified!" :P I know this is probably not an actual question but, thought it'd be fun answering it. :D

[ecvsio]

@monsterhunter99 Erm... then lets try this :D

A = a

a = A + 1

[monsterhunter99]

@ecvsio A is not a string so there for a can not be described as one... A=a does not work because A cannot = a when a is not defined as a string therefore it is thinking it is an int...

[monsterhunter99]

@ecvsio And also, a should be described before A or the program reads it as this:

a = A+1

A=a

It doesn't know what A is yet so therefore you must describe A in a :P

[monsterhunter99]

@ecvsio Also :)



[ecvsio]

@monsterhunter99 I didnt tell you that you must be a computer... calculate it as a human...

E.X

A = 8

a = 8

a = 8(A) + 1

a = 9 now... and ... its going for infinity...

[om123ification]

@ecvsio actually no,

in statements like

a = 0

if a < 3: a = a+ 1

return a

its a perfectly possible command :)

[ecvsio]

@om123ification Erm... i didnt say that put that in python 0.o ... dude... just ... think

[rawjudgement]

OMG BUCKKYYYY :D DUDE I SEROUISLY NEVER KNEW YOU DID PYTHON TUTORIALS ALSO. OH MAN, YOU ARE THE BEST AND YOU DON'T HOW MUCH I THANK YOU FOR DOING THESE TUTORIALS. YOU REALLY HELPED ME UNDERSTAND JAVA SO EASLIY DURING MY SPRING SEMESTER LAST YEAR IN COLLEGE AND NOW AM READY FOR YOU TO TEACH ME PYTHON. I KNOW NOW TO RELAX, BECAUSE I FINALLY FOUND A GREAT TEACHER AND AN AWESOME VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. THANKS AGAIN BRO.

[KapustaCuber]

I learned so much from this series of tutorials, thank you so much!

[yackon4game]

I kept getting syntax error, and it would highlight my last quotation mark.

[digimoned]

@yackon4game "syntax error" meant that u make something rwong on the code or symbol....

[EvilCerealBoX]

"Click next and next until you have Python."

That make me laugh. XD

[sooty3000]

i went and downloaded to top one on the list haha derp. thanks man i subd!

[gaphoogys]

thank you, you just got another subscriber

[johnny45irish]

imo, it's better to learn 3.

2.* will be around for a few years more, but 3 is the future.

[Jo3HoXhA2PaC]

You can find his mistake , but you can never make thos AWESOME videos like he do . You retared kids that wanna make him act like a fool , but well you can't he is 1 from me . Learned a lot of him

[dipu827]

Thank you.

[dimzaiboom365]

when i type in: print ''Hello, world!'' the word Hello gets a red bar and under it, it says: '' SyntaxError: invalid syntax '' in red letters. Help?

[1337Creations]

@dimzaiboom365 You forget the bracets. Type print("Hello world")

[dimzaiboom365]

@1337Creations thanx! :D

[Dividdo]

Hay quick question, are their any differences in the code if I use it on a mac? or should I troll forums?

[paulceltics]

what's the difference?

Python 3.2.2 Windows x86 MSI Installer (Windows binary -- does not include source)

Python 3.2.2 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer

[Dmen555]

@paulceltics i believe one is 64 bit and one is 32 bit,,,,

[claw7755]

sorry but i downloaded it just as in the video version 2.7, but i can't seem to find anything close to "idle (python GUI)" any help ?

[RandomLazars01]

Hullo, I wanna know how to change colors when I'm on pesterchum (A homestuck client thingy) using python.

[Tott3LoL]

Why you double clicking in the start menu! :P Around 2:00 when you starts Python you target an icon on the desktop aswell! :P

[adityagnet]

Why would anyone who hasn't used a computer before learn python?:)

Nice tutorials !!!

[XxXBLAD3XxX53]

I printed Bacon :)

[plastefuchs666]

@thenewboston

Any chances to get an updated version for 3.x?

[shadowsimbiote2]

wich is better Python or Lua ?

[plastefuchs666]

@shadowsimbiote2 Python and Lua are used for entirely different things. If you want to do web, you can use Python for dynamic websites. I don't think you can do that with Lua.

Maybe look into the wikipedia pages of both to understand what to use for in your case.

[mjiscool99]

@BrandonK1023 This is for Python 2.6. Stop watching this tutorial as it is useless. This should work:

print ('hello world')

[sandpaw97]

@mjiscool99 thanks!

[BrandonK1023]

If I am getting a syntax error every time I type print "hello, world!" what could possibly be the reason? I have uninstalled it and re-installed and Im still getting a syntax. I'm running 3.2.

[Kamilk12l]

You are the best programming teacher on the internet, and there are quite a few of them ;)

[tayler6000]

wow this is just like lua. print is the oldest command it the book

[MartijnGuitar]

Is it possible to download the whole tutorial as one or multiple video's? I would really like that, so that I can watch also and learn when I don't have any internet connection... I would really love that :)

[SWAGTUT]

@MartijnGuitar theres probably a program to let you download youtube videos just google it

[siim663]

>>> print "Hello, world"

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It says the LAST '' ( " )'' is wrong ?? wtfuuu ?! im on 3.2

[xFelicianoX]

@siim663 I get that too, but if i do it in the CMD one I dont, have you fixed it yet?

[xFelicianoX]

@siim663 Nevermind, i got it working, you have to use print("Hello world")

[DistildaTheChosen]

@siim663 When python went to 3, the syntax radically changed. Go download 2.7

[btyler4606]

dunno if you remember me but Im starting it again lol.

[arngorf]

I recently found a book on learning to program through Python. It is very easy to read. Combine it with the lectures of course 600 from MIT's open courseware and you're only missing a lil bit of math to start working on high-level problems yourself. Book: "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Learning with Python". There's a pdf link from the Course 600 site at MIT's site. Best of luck for everyone who is determined enough. I know I am!

[chillipepper117]

@arngorf thz for the info bro my brother is learning python right now while im learning c++ so ill definetly be getting this for him

[skilledhadoken]

why do i only get python and not the idle



[Roboface97]

This seems very simple, I watched Java programming tutorials with this same guy and it's not as simple as just writing "print" to print something...

[MalbeProductions]

type what? print print?

[2yung4grey]

yall peeps need to download version 2.7.2, if you want the syntax to be the same as buckys(though it doesnt matter!!!)

[crunchyubacmom]

thx my friend well you dont need know ps you play wow

[Mishogyny]

I've bought a couple programming books and I've been looking online for some sort of decent guide for a few days now. This look promising

[monkeypi6]

so far so good thanks man

[Dedication2020]

Subbed. I really wanna get good at this stuff so I can make programs and sell them on the net. Should I buy books, or do you think I can find everything I need to know for free on the internet?

[donnie6680]

@Dedication2020 If you want to get real deep into it. I suggest books from novice to professional.

[l3adb0Yz]

how do i subscribe to this video ?



[kopy001]

When I put in print "Hello, World!", it gives me a syntax error, highlighting the last quotation mark. What did I do wrong? :S

Btw, I'm using the latest version.

[vicious0093]

@kopy001 Python now treats print as a function and your input is the paramaters. So it would look like

print ("Hello World")

[401randomvideos]

Helppppppppppppppppppppppppp

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pleasssseeeeeeeee

if i installed python 2.7.2 for blender 2.49a

are they compatible

[MalcolmLC]

@IanZG42 NOW MAKE A PROGRAM!.. so i can look at it lol.

[FreePKMNWalkthroughs]

235,000 people begin, how many will make it to the end?

[Pichounator]

Python makes experimenting with math so easy in the command-line window; love it.

Thanks for your practical tutorials.

[12341234new]

Is it permitted to download and share this series of learning?

[MukiemukMC]

2:42

Sounds like he said "F*** you" :D

[sirius2012s]

Hey You have Fl Studio too!!!!

[peterdaman20]

BEST PROGRAM EVA! "HELLO, WORLD!" xD

[erasmuspython]

I have been through so many written guides on python and got no where. I spend 30mins on these videos and im flying ahead. If you are here checking to see if the vids are good. They are. You will not got better. Plus this guy is so god damn funny xD

[T1melimit]

So it's a video about Python... Guess what ad I get... Monty Python.

[Buckeye43207]

Hey I got something called a python in my Jeans OS. T'm gonna upload my stream all over the place

[itsmak1998]

python no more ??

[MRHITTING]

Hi Fucky~

[VCat2006]

For Python 3.x, type print("Hello, World!").

[Blitzbok]

@FreePs3Challngelobby lol

[darknate2004]

Did anyone else notice he has World of Warcraft?

[ianh97]

@darknate2004 I just saw that... Interesting fact: I cancelled my subscription 5 days ago.

[darknate2004]

@ianh97 I cancelled mine as well...lmao

[crmfghtr]

@darknate2004 LOL I cancelled mine a couple months ago

[bwillwall]

First of all your gonna wanna open up a browser, I am using firefox but you can use any browser so dont worry about that -_- haha then he said then make sure to download the windows installer dont worry about anything else what if im a mac or linux user lol sry i love making fun of people talking in tutorials but thanks for pointing me out to this

[tkokchen]

After watching this video, for those who want some more practices in python programming, you can go to pyschools.

[TakingItCasual]

o_O I just can't wait to start programming, it sounds so interesting! (Even if it takes years in the right environment to get good at it.)

[horiaonofrei]

i got a problem, when i type print "Hello, World!" on Python 3.2 for win X86 bit, it says SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[OMGmyFACE]

@horiaonofrei For the 3.x versions of Python, you gotta print ("whatever") with the (). He's on 2.6.1 for these tutorials, which you can still download. I'm doing it on 2.6.6

[ServerBoost100]

Its not GUI, Bucky it is Integrated DeveLopment Enviroment

[kvg784]

Just got interested in Python.

Really pleased to see that Bucky's got a series on YouTube.

I've learned a lot from his tutorials on Java and Objective C.

All good stuff.

[rmaringas]

Dude your tutorial fucking sucks. I only watched this because after I download python, it won't open or install in any way. So you show me which browser to use and to click the obvious download link, but skip the most important part by just saying "click next, next and next". I can't even get to that part, so your tutorial was worthless.

[dazthebrit]

@rmaringas You've probably downloaded the source rather than the installer. Do you use Windows or some other operating system? Because I followed Buckys instructions and it works fine.

[TheBlackOpsHawk]

@rmaringas I imagine he assumes people aren't an absolute fuck up in installing such a simple to install program...

[peterdaman20]

@rmaringas ha! stupid. you should know how to install a program without his help. lol such a douche

[lordyick]

im only geting this cause i want blender

[lordyick]

what does it do



[Morcous16]

"so if you ever uhhh... used a computer..." loool

[molotov2634]

NICE!!!! just what i was looking for. I have no clue how Python work. This is perfect for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

You have potential :). Keep up the excellent work :).

hey man, you're the Chunk Norris of programming tuts makers. no one can beat u.

[IRAMAGIC1234]

He says open an internet browser, but if I don't have one open, how can I see this video?

[Rumpetroll95]

@D01n6u4m0m

I'm pretty sure it's Bucky.

[damasta00138]

linux ALREADY comes with a default python installation....

[Mar1ex]

How long will it take to learn the basics?

[travis199urkul]

@nakedgirlsi love naked girls



[Zeldakitteh]

@Mar1ex A week?

[weward]

what is python for? i know its for programming..but for what? what's its use and what's its real life use? im confused...

[ORANGAMI]

people in tutorials say 'go ahead' too much
