    Python Tutorial
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking intermediate Python tutorials, particularly focused on using the C wrapper in the standard library. The user has basic Python knowledge, including boolean operations, I/O, functions, classes, and module imports, but lacks extensive programming experience. Recommendations for resources include devshed.com for comprehensive software development tutorials, the official Python documentation, Dive Into Python for general guidance, and the ctypes documentation for specific information on using C with Python. Additionally, engaging directly with ctypes by writing C files and experimenting in IPython is suggested as a practical approach to learning.

I've been working with python for about 4 or five months. I understand how to use boolean, a little bit of I/O, making functions, writing my own classes, and importing modules. Pretty much the bare basics. Outside of this python experience, I have little knowledge of programming. So, can anyone recommend a good, intermediate tutorial for python? Particularly about using that C wrapper in the standard library.

Personally you might want to migrate to php, but my personal bias.

Check out devshed.com. it is a great resource for all software development languages and really good tutorials.
 
http://diveintopython.org/ is good for general stuff. Have you already looked through the ctypes documentation? http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html
There're also some examples at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Ctypes
I also suggest just diving write into ctypes by using them. Write your .c file, then open up ipython and play around with the library.

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
