[fcaneo2]

LOL @8:02 [Open Source] is lovable and powerful but yet a little bit undisciplined.

[DartGreene]

2 problems with this session of the class:

1. the commands module examples do not work on Windows.

2. According to Python documentation, commands module is : "Deprecated since version 2.6: The commands module has been removed in Python 3.0. Use the subprocess module instead."

[Revevantix]

@SMERSH009X =P , i'm using windows xp and python 2.6.2 and the commands module is working ^^

[SMERSH009X]

@Revevantix did you see bullet point 2 of my comment? "Deprecated since version 2.6: " even if it somehow works for you, it's still very outdated and will eventually work for no one.

he is using a Mac.

Nick is really a great lecturer.

This pyquick has helped me a lot with python.

Thanks

[lukmackul]

why he introduces 'commands' instead of 'subprocess'? 'commands' module is deprecated since 2.6

Re: Mac vs. Ubuntu discussion: - 17:01, "Terminal -- ssh" implying ssh to binky2 - `python` startup "Ubuntu 4.0.3-lubuntu5" - 02:49, .DS_Store on binky2

It could be skinned, but I'd suggest two alternatives: 1) python was compiled on Ubuntu and copied over to a Mac 2) the files existed at one time on a Mac, the .DS_Store was created, and was inadvertently included as the directories were zipped up to be moved about

PS - I'm tempted to put URLs in the index.html

[scumbaguk]

Ahhm alrighty!!

[sunweicheng]

Actually, He's using ubuntu.

[NyubisVideos]

@sunweicheng Indeed, he's reskinned it to Mac, but the intpreter still says Ubuntu

[pippin418]

@NyubisVideos I used Ubuntu for 3 years, and not once did it put a .DS_Store in a directory. I did `ls -a`s all the time. I'm running in a mac now, and it makes those. The computer in the video is a legit mac. You cannot skin it that well.

[gonebraska]

@NyubisVideos he has used ssh to log into an ubuntu environment with his mac

[scumbaguk]

@sunweicheng no he's ssh'd in to ubuntu

[sacredgeometry]

@sunweicheng What? No he is using a mac...why would you say he is using ubuntu?

"Living higher on the food chain" <- Love it.

Mac is awesome for development! You don't get better than Nix based OS

[yeroc1337]

Lolol a Mac. :3

[joeally]

for errors, why did he not use try-except syntax?

[zzandrew]

@joeally he goes into it as part of the next lesson, it hadn't been introduced yet

[t3hubern00b]

I just noticed python 2.4
