Tutorial Requests

IDLE isn't recommended for anyone for any reason. It's just bad.

[sparkz_alot]

I did notice on the default install (Windows) there is a program called "PythonWin" which adds a little umph to IDLE.  Not sure if it's available on Linux.

There are IdleX extensions, they try to remove some of worst idle's oddities and make it almost usable.

I think idle would be best used as a demo app for how a decently sized project is organized as well as proper code style. But as an actual ide I feel that it fails.

What if you're not an admin on the computer, and can't install to the drive's root?
Should there be a different tutorial for people that want to install onto a usb flash drive, so they can use any computer they want without needing to install anything (perhaps a library computer, or at a school's computer lab, for example)?

I can take more about that in thread,or maybe a new thread.
Like Anaconda(MiniConda),WinPython or in cloud PythonAnywhere,Cloud9,
REPL(editor) online repl.it

Well, it look like everyone is talking about those new features in Python - the function annotations. And in general the annotations. I'd like a tutorial please. I am searching for good one but still nothing. I barely understand the conception but that's all. And I think this will bring a lot of good changes in how we use Python. I wan't to learn more.

What is it, the syntax, how to use it, and how it works

Maybe it's so basic as to be so overlooked, but having searched the world over using the the world wide web and every Python book in my arsenal to no avail, I would like to see a tutorial (with oodles and oodles of comments) on how to properly create a CLI menu with sub-menus. My usual way of using functions and an abundance of "if/elif/else" statements and a call to a previous function seems to be inefficient and cumbersome. I'm not looking for anything fancy (for example, using curses/ncurses), just a proper way of doing it.

I could do a tutorial on menu systems. I also use cmd a lot, so maybe I could combine it with a tutorial about that. It would be good for beginners, to show them how to make interfaces before they are ready for GUIs.

It would be good for beginners...

and me, of course :-D
