if it's useful, why delete it?

There was server row back. No one is wiping posts just like that.

I think he is talking about "BBC Sandbox" thread he opened in the Bar. It appears deleted (to regular users only probably, otherwise "purple").

There was a warning about some server work where a couple of hours were lost because a backup had to be installed.
That would probably explain the inadvertent loss.

'Morning,

I'm new to the forum but not new to Python or software development. I've been using it for various personal and professional projects for the past 6 or 7 years. I joined the forum to try to get more involved in the Python community.

Thanks! I recently picked up Fluent Python and have been really excited about some of the advanced features that I either didn't know anything about or only understood on the surface.

hi im a person
I'm not very new to python. I've toyed with it for a while and have just completed the tutorial. I installed 2.5.2 a long while back and now I have 2.7.14 because I can't install Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
I already know C++ and have made many simple input based programs with it. My ultimate goal is to:
[list=2]
[*] Make a job out of programming
[*] Create a successful programming language
[/list]
I love Python for many reasons, but it ticks me off how some of the documentation and help from users focuses on Linux and Unix, and I have neither. I don't even have Windows 10 yet.
But, I digress. I also dye grass. Way to kick me out of the country club golf course. Meh.
Sorry, what was I talking about?
Also, can you use both

print("Hello, world!")

and

print "Hello, world!"

or is it just

print("Hello, world!")

?
Anyway, I'm off!

Did you try installing Python 3.x? If you are using Vista, you may not be able to use the latest version but 3.3 or 3.4 might work. If so, you should use it and not version 2, as it is a maintenance and security release only and will be no longer maintained at all after 2020.

We are here for Python, so we pretty much don't care which OS you use to program, just that you program in Python 

So welcome and have fun.
