how do you paste like for example "[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]" in so quickly?

@Gregore2000 I edit out all of the pauses in the video :)

hello. beginning user here. quick question on the console... how are you able to, for example, type "print tupleEx[1]" and have it automatically run in the console. Your examples do it automantically, on mine i have to hit "Run" everytime which makes me save every time.

thanks,

sam

I have to type ()s around the name of my tuple or list when I'm printing them.

Ex.

Print (tupleEx)

instead of

Print tupleEx

I also cannot get the type function to work. I believe this is because I'm using Python 3.2 instead of 2.7. It's not that big of a deal but, I was wondering if there are bigger differences down the line. Can I still use your videos to learn how to use Python.

@22ecic I have a tutorial on python 3.0 and up. It's called python how to program. You can find it on my YouTube channel. That will solve your problem

@ribsmcgee1 As he states in the video, you can not change a single element of a tuple. If you want to use append you need to make your tuple a list. Do this by using [ ] instead of ( ). For example ('Derek', 35, 'Pittsburgh','PA') would be changed to ['Derek', 35, 'Pittsburgh','PA'].

[ribsmcgee1]

nevermind, I figured it out. got used to the parentheses, and used them for the list instead of square brackets.

I tried to add the joy to list ex and it gives me an error saying AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'append'
