py-sig Manchester NH 7:20 and on, random notes

No formal presentation tonight. They're just giving newbie advice...

Link to mailing list: pysig.org or python.org, follow link to community, then mailing lists then "tutor" for beginning questions.  Kent Johnson is one of the regulars for "tutor" and is often at our meetings.

windows/linux portability issues:
single new line vs carriage return and newline.

#!path to interpreter
vs
on windows where the newline will cause the line to be ignored.

dos2unix to get rid of extra newlines.

watch out for tabs, so that they're not 4 or 8 spaces, since # of spaces matter
vs
just use 4 spaces.  convention?
4 per level (though some people use 2)


misc recommended editors:
sciTE
emacs
vim

if you want to do graphics, there's
pil=python imaging library

(you'll dance to anything by...)

The Greater NH Linux Users Group is a superset of this group.
