Using Python 2 to tell computers and similar devices how to help you - and the world | PauseDoChange

• Use a special utensil, Python, to help you - and the world
  • Video: Jessica McKellar shares a secret reason in the video, #HelloWorld 2016 - Puget Sound Python with Jessica McKellar [YouTube].
• Learn to use a special utensil called Python 2

    • Study skills
      • Your learning from Learning How to Learn might be helpful.
    • Background knowledge and skills that might be helpful
      • Your learning from Succeed with maths - Part 1 might be helpful.
      • Your learning from Succeed with maths - Part 2 might be helpful.

          • Typing or entering information
            • How might you type your Python code at a laptop or desktop computer or similar computer?
              • The course might teach a learner how to use Python-related software at a computer in order that the learner can type code at that computer.
            • How might you type your Python code at a smartphone or at a tablet computer or at a similar Internet-access device?
              • If you want to type Python 2 code, you might use Python 2 at repl.it.
                • Why might you want to use repl.it?
                  • Especially if you are not in a position to use relevant Python-related software at the smartphone, tablet computer, or other Internet-access device that you are using, then you might instead use Python 2 at repl.it.
                • How might you start to use repl.it?
                  • The video, Using repl.it with Python 3 [YouTube], provides an introduction to repl.it. The title of the video refers to "Python 3", but the general approach outlined in the video can be used for Python 2.
                    • If you do not yet know how to use "Python", which is a utensil shown in the "Using repl.it with Python 3" video, then you might
                      • observe the general experience in the video to help you learn how you might use repl.it for your present studies and
                      • temporarily disregard the Python-related details in that video.
                  • When you practise typing Python code that you do not want to keep permanently, you might type the Python code into the black-background area, called the console, at repl.it, and then tap the Enter-key. When you are ready to type Python code that you want to save, you might type the Python code into the white-background area at repl.it.

              • If you want to type Python 2 code that uses external packages, you might use CoCalc.
                • Why might you want to use CoCalc?
                  • Especially if you are not in a position to use the relevant Python-related software at the smartphone, tablet computer, or other Internet-access device that you are using, then you might instead use Python 2 at CoCalc.
                • How might you start to use CoCalc?
                  • The video, An overview of CoCalc [YouTube], provides an introduction to CoCalc.
