Python 2.7 Tutorial Part 2

I continue my Python 2.7 Tutorial by covering how to use Tuples and Lists in Python.

@gent2910 I'll provide more ways to use lists in the upcoming examples. Glad you liked it

Make sure you can see Package Explorer on your screen Window -> Show View -> Package Explorer Right click the top most folder and click New -> File and give it a name with the extension .py

@scriptmastervel Your welcome. I have a ton of other Python tutorials. If you need anything just ask :)

[derekbanas]

You can definitely do that, but I didn't cover Django because it normally requires a dedicated host which is very expensive. I'll cover Django at some point

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) I see more opportunity in developing Android apps and that is what I have experience with. I'll be making an Android tutorial that will go on for about 6 months. In it I'll show how to make every app the whole way through 3D games. It is coming very soon

It stands for example and no it doesn't have any special meaning. It is just the variable name I picked at random

@Gregore2000 I edit out all of the pauses in the video :)

Great greatest tutorial! As an occasional Python user, I find your polished tutorial simply riveting.
Keep up with the good work Derek.
And many thanks.

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome. The editing takes a lot of time, but I think it is worth it :)

You could execute python code on the web using cgitb, but this isn't very useful. That is why people use a web framework like Django. The only problem is that most every hosting company that allows you to use Django limits Bandwidth usage unless you pay a lot of money. That is why I have not done a Django tutorial yet. I hope that helps

What do you mean exactly by spilt lists?

[deyarimawi]

Hello Derek,
Please note that listEx.remove(listEx[3]) for example won't remove the value of the index 3, it will remove the first element in the list that contains the value that is equal to listEx[3].
>>> listEx = [1, 2, 3, 2, 5]
>>> listEx.remove(listEx[3])
>>> print listEx
# the output will be:
[1, 3, 2, 5] # not [1, 2, 3, 5]

Hey, As i said before, I really like your tutorials. In this one there is a little thing... When you show print listnum [1:10:2] and say the 2 represent how many you want to skip. But in fact you don't skip 2 but take steps of two so you print every second one.
I am not even sure why i comment on this little thing but i just thought about it...
I love that you don't say "aaaa" or every third word as most tutorials do btw :-)

@22ecic I have a tutorial on python 3.0 and up. It's called python how to program. You can find it on my YouTube channel. That will solve your problem

[scriptmastervel]

Thanks for the Tutorial, this was the simplest and easy way to understand a concept.Good work .Thanks for saving lot of time.

5:35 - it's also possible to specify "::"; if one wish to skip x amount of characters without specifying begin/end numbers. Thanks for the vids :)

congratulations on ur first like my computer programming teacher is making our class watch ur tutotials very useful videos :)

[gent]

Good tutorial on lists great way to show different methods. Good job once again.

[derekbanas]

@xDmOrgZx Wow that's very cool! I'm glad you and your teacher likes them. There are many more coming. OOP starts later today

Well, what you said is true, but it will resolve to the same thing (as if you're deleting an item from a list by index), for example:
list = [ 'spell', 'doom', 'warcraft', 'dawn' ]
list.remove (list[1]) == list.remove('doom') which will both chop out 'doom' :-)
(correct me if I'm wrong)
