I made a program that finds the second largest digit in a list.

Using the list method "remove()" and "max" function. Python is COOL!

I got a python assignment due on start dec been doing python courses learning basics past few weeks following uni lectures (few months ago) - but since i had no prior xp and most classmates do i felt on the backfoot right away - struggled with basic exercises but will try them again - plus pandas and numpy for a python programme ain't no beginner assignment unless I'm just that inexperienced

Hey, I'm new to programming and I wanna learn Python, I've learnt some of the basics but I'm kind of stuck. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to learn Python like courses, websites, etc.

Hey, I am also trying to learn python and have only cleared the basics so far. I thought that wouldn't it be more fun to have more people to collaborate with. I made a discord server where I am hoping to get some more people like me to join and work on fun projects together.

Note: I want it to be more of a friends server rather than a 100+ community since I find that a bit too overwhelming. I want to create a more cozy environment with a few groups of friends. So far I am the only one at the moment of creating the server but I hope I get to meet new friends together.

PS: If you want to do some MineCraft Modding, please do join since I am also planning to get into that stuff in future.

Hey everyone, I'm 21 and currently learning German because I want to move to Germany next year for an Ausbildung.I'm interested in IT, especially software development and AI. I've recently started learning Python on my own and actually enjoying it. I've also tried n8n after seeing AI automation trending everywhere. Set it up on my laptop and made a few basic automations with Gemini.But honestly, my main interest is building software, apps and AI-powered tools that solve real problems, make people's work easier and save time and money. Maybe eventually build my own SaaS too.The problem is that AI is developing so fast, companies are laying off people, and I'm confused about which direction is worth investing my time in.Should I focus on software development, AI engineering or automation? Which one has a better future, especially in Germany? And how can I build skills that won't easily become replaceable by AI?

I'd really appreciate honest advice from people working in tech or studying IT I don't want to follow trends blindly and waste years learning the wrong thing.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a bachelor student from a non-tech background.. and I want to learn python/coding from scratch.. but everything seems so overwhelming😭

1. How can I learn python from scratch like completely as a beginner?

2. Can someone suggest some resources where things don't seem overwhelming as a beginner?

3. How long can it take for me to learn python and build some good projects?

I'm studying on my own, but I've reached a point where I really need help 😵

So i coded a minecraft based game :https://github.com/NovaBlitz750/Nova_python/blob/main/Survival%20island%20game/survival_island_cdebugged.py after learnign python for abt t months and it turned out pretty well. I let claude go wild with it and turned out making minecraft and claude's version is rlly good. Hers the link for claude's version https://github.com/NovaBlitz750/Nova_python/blob/main/Survival%20island%20game/survival_island_claude.py

Hey everyone!

I really wanna get into Python but I'm starting from absolute zero rn 😭 I want to learn it properly from scratch and eventually get to an advanced level.

I'm interested in using Python for Economics and also wanna explore Statistics and Data Analysis with it.

Would love some recommendations on:

1. Good YouTube channels or playlists that teach Python from absolute basics to advanced.

2. Any paid courses that are actually worth spending money on.

3. Courses that teach practical applications of Python in Economics and Data Analysis.

4. Any other skills or libraries I should learn alongside Python.

Also if anyone here is good at Python and wouldn't mind helping a beginner out feel free to DM me!!

Drop your suggestions and personal experiences. Would really appreciate it. Thanks!!

I'm looking to learn more how to build GTK applications mostly for Fedora using python, I've been doing the CS50P course but also looking for some more learning material any suggestions will be helpful

Hi guys, are there anyway to refuse an entry that has already existed inside the file? for example if biscuit is already inside the txt file, I entered it again and it will refuse it and not add it to the txt file.

I'm learning Python, and this part has left me a little confused, because in other languages the way it's used is different; in Python you use @property, I'd like to understand how this really works in a simplified way, so I can truly grasp it and not just memorize it. If you could help me, I'm still new to programming.

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for someone experienced with Python, AI video generation, automation, and OpenMontage who can guide me through a project I'm building.

I'm a complete beginner with very little programming knowledge. Most of my setup has been done by following instructions from ChatGPT and Gemini, copying commands into PowerShell, and troubleshooting errors. I've managed to install quite a lot, but I'm struggling to put everything together and actually produce videos.

I would really appreciate patient, step-by-step guidance.

1. StoryBot / Storyboard

My first project is an automated storytelling video system for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels.

What I've installed and configured:

\- Ollama with Qwen3:4b for local story generation.

\- Node.js, npm and n8n (installed locally, not Docker).

\- Python 3.11.9 and FFmpeg 9.0.2.

\- Parody TTS for narration.

\- Custom Python scripts.

My n8n workflow currently works up to this stage:

1. I press Execute.

2. Python scripts generate a story.

3. A temporary "story.txt" file is saved.

4. Narration is generated in parallel.

5. The narration is saved in the output folder.

So story generation and narration are working.

ComfyUI experiment:

I also installed ComfyUI at:

"D:\\StoryBot\\ComfyUI-Install\\ComfyUI_windows_portable"

I downloaded two model files:

\- "flat2DAnimerge_v45Sharp.safetensors" (approximately 2.13 GB) – Stable Diffusion 1.5 checkpoint for 2D cartoon-style images.

\- "mm_sd_v15_v2.ckpt" (approximately 1.82 GB) – AnimateDiff motion module.

I wanted to generate and animate cartoon-style characters, but my GTX 1660 with 6 GB VRAM struggled with the workload. Generation was taking too long, so I couldn't get the results I wanted.

I currently have one male and one female presenter character as basic static images.

2. OpenMontage (Separate Project)

After getting frustrated with my Storyboard setup, I decided to try OpenMontage as a completely separate alternative.

I'm NOT trying to connect OpenMontage with StoryBot/Storyboard.

Repository: https://github.com/OpenMontageInc/OpenMontage

Installed/configured:

\- Python 3.11.9 virtual environment.

\- Node.js v24.22.1 and npm 11.19.1.

\- FFmpeg 9.0.2 and Git 2.56.0.

\- Remotion dependencies.

\- esbuild 0.28.1.

\- HyperFrames 0.9.39.

\- Piper TTS 1.8.0.

\- pytest 9.2.0.

\- ".env" configured from ".env.example".

I successfully ran:

"python scripts/backlot_simulate_run.py"

It generated a demo production with scenes sc1–sc4.

I can also access the Backlot interface:

"http://127.0.0.1:4750/p/backlot-demo-run"

However, I'm stuck on what to do next and how to move from the simulation to an actual rendered video.

3. My desired video appearance

\- Word-by-word animated subtitles.

\- Currently spoken word highlighted in blue.

\- Remaining words in white.

\- Purple/red gradient backgrounds.

\- Two consistent presenter characters.

4. My PC specifications

\- Windows 11 Pro.

\- AMD Ryzen 5 5600.

\- NVIDIA GTX 1660 Gaming X (6 GB VRAM).

\- 16 GB RAM.

I prefer free and open-source tools and want to run as much as possible locally.

5. What I need help with

StoryBot / Storyboard:

\- How do I complete the existing workflow and produce videos?

\- How should I use my presenter images?

\- Are there lighter alternatives to ComfyUI/AnimateDiff that work on my GPU?

OpenMontage:

\- How do I use Backlot properly?

\- What are the next steps after a successful simulation?

\- How do I produce an actual video?

I'm not trying to combine these two projects. I want to understand them separately.

6. How I would like to be guided

Please understand that I'm genuinely new to programming.

I would appreciate someone who can:

\- Start from my existing installations.

\- Give me one step at a time.

\- Provide exact commands and tell me where to run them.

\- Explain what each step does.

\- Wait for my results before moving forward.

\- Help me troubleshoot errors.

I've spent a lot of time getting this far, and I don't want to break my existing setup by randomly changing things.

If anyone has experience with OpenMontage, Remotion, ComfyUI, Python automation, or AI video production, I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Thank you for reading!

Hey everyone, Just made a video which explains about threads and processes and shows how to use them in python!

I make quality videos which simplify complex things, If you can sub and like (and maybe add a comment)
It will help me create more guides for free!

U know i am learning python the basic parts are clear but in case of the libraries i usually am only learning those which are helpful for ml/AI integration but i usually come across various projects of people making innovative and creative projects using random libraries....my question is that while making a project how do you know it will be the one to be used as there are thousands if not millions of libraries so how out of those many libraries can u determine which one you will study and use? A really bugging question i had while shitting on 2 Am on my toilet really confusing

So I'm trying to make a calculator on my own, and it WORKS, but I dont really like having to type everything in seperately like this, and i'd rather just type my entire sum into one line, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how I would do that. If I explained this badly just lmk and I'll try to explain it better, thanks to anyone who can help :))

Had a midterm exam and I'm quite sure I bombed it. I know Python, but not enough to be prepared for the questions I was asked. What resources could teach me python like I'm preparing for an interview, if that makes sense? I feel like that is the style of questioning my professor used and I really want to be ahead of the curve next time.

Hello everyone

Let me give you a little context I am currently working in a french hospital, and I would like to develop a tool to automate the creation of administrative letters, if you don't know french public administrations are VERY VERY VERY outdated i am working here as a buying manager and as expected from a place like this we lack staff a lot because of budget cuts so i am most of the time doing administrative task like writing letters instead of studying prices and doing negotiations.

We regularly receive supplier quotations and need to generate different types of formal boring documents ( to be honest we could just sign the pricing proposal but the Head of Department is from the medical field have no training in administration and she is very old so she wants to keep it that way ) so we write letters for things such as price acceptance letters, price revision and adjustment letters, product reference changes, product substitutions, currently, much of this work is done manually using Word.

Right now I have a dropdown to choose which type of letter I want, some fields for the supplier, contract number, product references, prices, dates etc. I also added another sheet where I can select which hospitals are concerned, and a small supplier database.

But I' am not really happy with it.

For example, if I choose a letter about changing a product reference, I still see fields asking for old prices, new prices and other stuff that has nothing to do with that letter

What I would really like is for the form to change depending on which letter I select. So only the information I actually need would appear. And then once everything is filled in, I just click a button and it generates the Word letter using our existing templates. Being able to export it to PDF would be nice too.

Now here's where I'm a bit lost.

Should I keep working on Excel and use VBA to make it better? Or should I just start over with Python and make a proper little application?

I am not a developer btw, I'm just interested in this stuff and trying to learn as I go, so for those of you who have more experience with this kind of thing, what would you do?

Would you stick with Excel/VBA or go for Python? And if Python is better, how would you make something that people can use without having to install Python themselves?

One important detail this is a hospital environment, so computers have IT restrictions, and most users aren't particularly good with computers. my goal is to eventually present a reliable, easy to use solution to my Head of Department.

Also how complicated would it be to make different forms for each letter type without having to code everything separately?

Sorry if these are stupid questions I am still figuring things out haha.

Any advice or feedback would really help!

so i would love your advice on

1. Is Excel/VBA sufficient for this kind of application?

2. Would Python be a better long-term solution?

3. What GUI framework would you recommend for non-technical Windows users?

4. How would you handle different document types with their own required fields?

5. How difficult would deployment and maintenance be in a restricted corporate environment?

6. I'm still learning, so any feedback on the architecture, user experience, or technical approach would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :))
