    Thread: Python as First Langauge
Post: RE: Python as First Langauge

Post: RE: Python as First Langauge
Thanks for the hint to Type Annotations. I missed that till now. It is used in none of the books I looked into or in sample code. For a guy like me that has written tens of thousands of lines of code ...

Post: RE: Python as First Langauge
The Zeller reference is a good read. I have some arguments against this page, however. (By the way, the page should be formatted for an easier read.) He is exaggerating the complexity of Java and hid...

    Thread: Python as First Langauge
Post: RE: Python as First Langauge
Thanks for the answers. I hear the claim that it is easier to get results in Python. For the level of this class, I have my doubts because I do not want to program games or UIs, nor do machine learn...

Post: Python as First Langauge
I do not know where to ask this. This forum is linked from Python.org. So it seems just right. I am going to teach a first-year university course in programming next year for students of mathematics ...

    Thread: C-API - Cannot create module
Post: RE: C-API - Cannot create module
As far as I know, the method PyModule_Create() does not create a file. So I do not know what you mean. Sorry. I have found a partial solution. Importing the module in C was not necessary in Python 2,...

Post: C-API - Cannot create module
