iphitus Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) I have fiddled with python in the past, and started working with it again the other day. Ive started working on a program, notes, just to get myself up to scratch again. Its pretty simple, nothing complex, but it could be usefull to someone. So far it can save, load, delete, read, list notes, and even email them. Not bad for a nights work. I am going to add multiple note database support next. Just chmod +x it, then ./ it. It will give you a warning about a config file, it's at ~/.gnunotes/config can contain although doesnt require: smtp-serv smtp.your.host mail-from your-email@from.address.here conf-check yes http://aslan.no-ip.com/~iphitus/downloads/notes-0.2.py Edited June 23, 2004 by iphitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioEar Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 python... looks like basic code like what you would find in M$ Visual Basic for DOS or Windows. I that what python is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Like many languages, Python has similar coding structures and concepts. However, Python is a true language separate from VB. Interesting enough, both VB and Python are known for rapid application development.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 The difference is that python doesnt have all those drag and drop IDEs and IMHO is much more powerful. And python is interpreted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 The difference is that python doesnt have all those drag and drop IDEs... that's not really a difference... :P And python is interpreted VB has only been compiled code since version 5, prior to that it was interpreted.

Cannonfodder Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Does python allow you to compile as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Does python allow you to compile as well? On windows, you can make exe's but on linux there is absolutely no need. If you go and save that script of mine into /usr/bin/ and name it 'notes' then chmod +x it, it would work just like any program. Just run 'notes' like any program and it will run. iphitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 No, thats the beauty of interpreted stuff. No need to compile a binary, its like a shell script. Just put that file i linked to in /usr/bin/ chmod +x it, then you can run it like a normal program. Did you know bittorrent is written in python? You dont notice do you.

bvc Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 but mine is cli and is just practice. I just put it up in case anyone might have found it useful. I understand. People showed an interest in py. I was just posting a link to a project that was more indepth and along the same line in case anyone wanted to dig/play/contrib/whatever.That's all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technonoid Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) If it wasn't for this thread, I probably would have never looked at python. I played around with it for couple of hours, and I'm very impressed with it. The docs, that also has a tutorial is very well written. Thanks iphitus, I probably should say " If it wasn't for iphitus, I'd probably would have never looked at python."
