# Part II: Beginnings
|
|
|
|
So, let's say we're new to Python.
|
|
|
|
Let's get started!

# Step 1: Pick a Release.
|
|
Pick carefully.

# Step 2: Install Python.
|
|
|
|
Decisions, decisions.
|
|
|
|
* Download installer from python.org?
|
|
* 32bit or 64bit?
|
|
* Build from source?
|
|
* If so, Unix or framework build?
|
|
|

# Step 3: Profit!
|
|
|
|
Let's play around. Maybe play with the GitHub API?

require 'net/http'

require 'uri'
|

uri = URI.parse('https://api.github.com/user')
|
|
|
|
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
|
|
http.use_ssl = true
|
|
|
|
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
|
|
req.basic_auth('username', 'password')
|

r = http.request(req)

# http/url/lib/2
|
|
- Extremely unclear why there are so many modules.
|
|
- Search implies urllib2.
|
|
- Let's give this a shot...

# http/url/lib/2
|
|
|
|
- Which module to use?
|
|
- Worst API ever.
|
|
- An *extremely* common use case.
|
|
- I'd rather be writing ColdFusion™.

# XML
|
|
|
|
- `etree` is terrible.
|
|
- `lxml` is awesome, but difficult to install.
|
|
|
|
!SLIDE
|
|
# File and System Operations
|
|
- sys | shutils | os | os.path | io
|
|
- Really difficult to run external commands.
|
|
- This blocks dev+ops folks from adopting Python.

# Packaging and Depdencies
|
|
- pip or easy install?
|
|
- setuptools isn't included with python? Distribute?
|
|
- No easy_uninstall?
|
|
- Broken `setup.py`s
|
|
- "Released" packages not in the Cheeseshop
|
|
|
|
!SLIDE
|
|
# Date[time]s.
|
|
- Which module to use?
|
|
- Timezones
|
|
- The stdlib can generate but not parse ISO8601 dates
