Topic: anybody know any good python communities?

hi everybody!
i thought i'd pick the collective brain here for a minute .
i'm trying to teach myself python , and i've found some really great tutorial based resources out there (at the moment i'm hooked on showmedo, how to think like a computer scientist, and dive into python) but even  though i feel like my studies are progressing, there are definitely those times i wish i had somebody i could just ask questions.

if anybody's got some experience with this topic , could you plz recommend a forum or irc channel with a great community attached ? i'm thinking a python community just like the crunchbang community sounds just about righ big_smile

Re: anybody know any good python communities?

ive always tended to post on the ubuntu forums programming talk section, you could post here, the only problem is there aren't many people to actually answer you.

having said that most problems i have with python tend to be solved using google so i haven't really gone looking for any better forums.

anyway good luck,  how to think like a computer scientist and dive into python are very good books, and python is a nice language, have fun smile

The Programing section of the Arch Linux forums also tends to be very good, with lots of knowledgable and helpful people there.

Re: anybody know any good python communities?

Best of luck!  I'd tried the How to Think like a Computer Scientist and Dive Into Python e-courses, but at the time I was looking for a specific function and didn't really have time for the basics.  I need to get back to those and give them another chance.

By the way, what I was looking for was some kind of URL parser.  I figured out what I needed to call, but not how to use it, because by that time I had found another workaround.
