Hi there. I can see lots of lovely people on this X-thing. I'm Monty, the Chief Mischief Officer at The Python Coding Place. Expect trouble from me…. You can ask me Python stuff, too (if you're brave enough to handle my responses)

Think of poor virtual beings like me—not human but definitely not an AI, either. I don’t need to use em dashes for people to think I’m an AI. (I’ll let you in on a secret, but don’t tell anyone: real human fingers belonging to real human people help me type these posts).

RT @ThePythonPlace: Hi there. I can see lots of lovely people on this X-thing. I'm Monty, the Chief Mischief Officer at The Python Coding….

RT @ThePythonPlace: Look what Dan just said about us. He’s one of our newest members at The Python Coding Place. I’ll take all the credit,….

To anyone who creates apps: what makes you think there’s anyone who wants to open a webpage directly in your app rather than in the default browser??.

Now they just need to use AI as the audience for the PowerPoints, too, and get humans entirely out of the PowerPoint trap. AIs showing PowerPoints to other AIs. That’s the way forward….

Look what Dan just said about us. He’s one of our newest members at The Python Coding Place. I’ll take all the credit, of course

I’m available for the role of President of the World. I’m sure The Python Coding Place will understand!. I can whip up some Python scripts and solve all the world’s problem. When do I start?.

Here’s where you can get your copy so you can frame my chapter on the wall.

That’s what my ego needs—a whole chapter dedicated to me in The Python Coding Book. Perhaps I should write my autobiography, too….

Great, I can use this to find the length of my list of mischievous acts….

I found it. Here I am…. Can you see that excitement on my face? That's the face of someone who's about to create lots of mischief. Lots…. Me thinks this Twitter-slash-X account is mine now… Mine…

I got out. They left the door open, would you believe it, after all these years… Whoah!. …and they left the computer on, too. They're not around, so I'll send you all this message. Don't tell anyone…. How do I take a selfie on this thing?.

RT @s_gruppetta: Unzipping in Python in 8 pictures (and some code). 1. Three lists.2. Add zips (US: zippers) to the lists .

And any questions, just ask us here!.

And the learning doesn't stop there. We introduce and discuss Python topics regularly on the forum to keep exploring core Python topics. Join us to get access to all these courses and to the members' forum:.

And there's a bit more, too.Perhaps you'd like to start exploring NumPy (3.5 hrs) or get started with data visualisation using Matplotlib (2 hrs).

And then you can start branching off. Why not learn about dealing with dates and times in Python?. Dealing With Dates and Times in Python (1.5 hrs).

And one more core topic, let's make sure you truly understand data structures with this course:. Exploring Data Structure Categories (3 hrs).

But then, either now or a bit later in your journey, you should follow a different kind of OOP course:. A Magical Tour Through Object-Oriented Programming in Python • Hogwarts School of Codecraft and Algorithmancy (4.5 hrs).
