New section

[Daniel]

omfg! a new section!



yakman: hey Wizzup make a python section in the programming board
Wizzup: yakman: yeah, we'll make one
Wizzup: I'll make one now.


Anyways, this is for Python scripts and Python script related questions / information. Hopefully it'll be more active than the current state of the other sub-categories of the "Programming" category.

[Yakman]

actually that conversation went like this.



<yakman> hey Wizzup make a python section in the programming board
<yakman> or rename Java to Java and Python
<Wizzup> yakman, lol @ last
<Wizzup> yakman: yeah, we'll make one
<Wizzup> I'll make one now.
<yakman> since i still have mod powers, ill move some threads from the geneal section



This section is because the interest in python has gone viral in this forum... EVERYONE's doing it (on irc at least)

Are you kidding? No one is!

[Sir R. M8gic1an]

Maybe people will start using it more around the forums too....... :)

[Awkwardsaw]

i like it as a programming language, but i have no idea what to do with it :(

I was planning to write something that generated mandlebrot sets like this

if someone wants to steal my idea....

I think there's a Python ascii-Mandelbrot generator in one line...


# Mandelbrot set
print (lambda Ru,Ro,Iu,Io,IM,Sx,Sy:reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,map(lambda y,
Iu=Iu,Io=Io,Ru=Ru,Ro=Ro,Sy=Sy,L=lambda yc,Iu=Iu,Io=Io,Ru=Ru,Ro=Ro,i=IM,
Sx=Sx,Sy=Sy:reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,map(lambda x,xc=Ru,yc=yc,Ru=Ru,Ro=Ro,
i=i,Sx=Sx,F=lambda xc,yc,x,y,k,f=lambda xc,yc,x,y,k,f:(k<=0)or (x*x+y*y
>=4.0) or 1+f(xc,yc,x*x-y*y+xc,2.0*x*y+yc,k-1,f):f(xc,yc,x,y,k,f):chr(
64+F(Ru+x*(Ro-Ru)/Sx,yc,0,0,i)),range(Sx))):L(Iu+y*(Io-Iu)/Sy),range(Sy
))))(-2.1, 0.7, -1.2, 1.2, 30, 80, 24)

I'm more just reading tutorials to start with. I don't wanna dive into that stuff so early. ;< But thanks a ton for them! ^^
