How can python scale when everything just gets loaded into memory in order to do anything?

Generators

>>57807590
This isn't specific to Python, but:
1) Don't load *everything* it into memory
2) Distribute the load across multiple machines.

What does it not load?

What's the best resource to learn Python from that isn't kiddie tier shit or just printing for about 10 exercises in a row?

>>57807590
it doesn't really scale, at least not the same way a concurrent language like Go or even nodejs does.

Serious post.

Learning by doing.

Just think of a project and start coding and googling.

>>57807684
The tutorial on the official website is quite good. It starts with the language syntax and then goes through Python's standard library

Thanks dudes.

Is Python a good first language to learn?

>>57807748
It's the best option to learn as the first language.

Absolutely. The syntax really helps introduce general coding logic to a programmer just getting their feet wet.

using Tkinter, is there a way to dinamically change sizes of widgets?
I mean, to let the user drag and drop a border of the widget and change the size.

this is for a non-TopLevel widget, btw.

>>57807748
Yes, the best thing about it is that you can make something useful quite quickly.

>>57807806
Why use Tkinter instead of something like PySide? Just because it's part of the standard library?

>>57807839
Is PySide still maintained? Wouldn't PyQt be a better option in this case?

>>57807839
actually, yes.

as a kind of self-imposed challenge, I only want to use the standar library, so the fictional end-user doesn't have to install dependencies at all.


Anyways, do you recommend to just give up and switch to PySide?

>>57807865
>Is PySide still maintained?

I havent really looked into it, it seems like it's a year since last release. But there is a fork of it:

https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2
which is supported by the Qt Company.

>Wouldn't PyQt be a better option in this case?

Not if you want to actually earn money from what you code. The license for PyQt costs tons of money.

Which is cool as fuck and likely a better way to do it in a lot of ways.

>Anyways, do you recommend to just give up and switch to PySide?

It's easier and you can easily make advanced GUIs which would take a lot of effort to make with Tkinter. Also trivial to port it to whatever OS you want.
