Why so complicated?

[vulpesVelox]

This is for vulpesVelox:

1.Your question is very good.
2.Very few people who make YouTube videos know how to make them clear and easy to follow.
3.You may find what I've found, that the best way to learn Python is not to use YouTube videos, or even worse, python forums, but instead it's better to hire a private instructor.

Good luck!

Thank you for posting.
It has become a bit daunting, I must admit. This is typical in a learning proces, I feel; you realize just how far down the rabbit hole goes, as you descend. I'm still putting up a fight, and I should mention that I am more or less adept in the 'self education'-department. The discipline is there, and I'm used to filtering.

I found a few youtube videos that had some quality aspect to them when I started out a couple of months ago. I'm not going to disagree with you at all; a lot of those videos are just a waste of time, as you may read a tutorial much, much faster, seeing as you get the opportunity to effectively weed out the "errrrr..."'s and the "uhmmmm..."'s
On the other hand that 15 hour long video, that I passed through over a fortnight helped me tremendously with the basics. I was passing through https://www.learnpython.org/ before that, but as a beginner it was too heavy, especially seeing as I'm not a native english speaker. It's effective, but probably not very pedagogical what with all the fancy words for very simple things.

I returned after the video and understood it better, and have since then passed through some other courses and I found a nice overview of the basics, that works well in terms of repetition.

Your advice is well received. I have been thinking about the very same thing; that it would be useful if I had a mentor. - I've just found that there is a tech-cafe close to where I live, so I'll be paying them a visit as soon as I'm back home (family affairs this week).

Again, thank you for posting :)

I then typed in python3 followed by import Pillow, and the machine returns:

Read the doc,it's from PIL import Image.

pyenv install 3.6.1 gives me:
No command 'pyenv' found, did you mean:

Tutorial see Setting up pyenv.

But... Isn't PIL (about to be) deprecated? I've read that I should go for Pillow instead in various forums, tutorials and whatnot..?

In terms of your cool tutorial, I've already gone over the pyenv section, as per post #16. - what am I missing?
