I've never programmed anything in Python, but half an hour into this video, after trying to find the solution on my own, and coming up with a Google Maps image showing me all the northbound 22 busses... i'm very impressed.
Thanks much for putting this informative seminar on the web. One night, I randomly came across this video, followed along & it excited me so much, I'm now studying as a web developer. These type of resources are valuable to beginners.
Have never programmed in python very much but I'm just learning Julia. Going through this video and trying to figure out how to do it all in Julia is very interesting. Julia is very similar to Python so it's not that hard to figure out what's going on. Very good tutorial. A lot more interesting than most of the programming tutorials out there. Thanks.
This is excellent. I always learn so much more by actually being asked to do what the trainer is doing and I learn so much along the way. I installed python 2 days ago (never using it before) and now am tracking the Chicago transit system with it, exploring my own ideas along the way...!
This is one of the best overview of Python I've ever seen. You will get an idea about data structures in Python, Ipython (notebook), pandas, collections and many more. Thanks...
For the people stuck at the Suitcase excercise, note that it is: Buses with 1 'S', besides that: check if you spelled .JSP and not JPS. The people that say that the code is not working anymore are not right, as of 11-24-2014 it is still working.
Hello Sir, I did it with maps as well. Loved it frm bangalore India. I feel like urging our Gov to provide APIs for Trains & City Buses on similar concept. Its very useful. Thank you
This was a fun tutorial. Finally, something beyond the de facto standard 'Hello,World' program. I would like to know how to finish the first solution? When the bus is .5 miles away from the office, how can you get the application to show the location of the bus a map? Thanks!!
This is so cool. I have spent 2 days looking at videos on Python im a total noob. But im starting to understand how it works so soon i will try and mess around my self. I find it very interesting just to listen on what can be done
As someone new to programming, I think the biggest problem with python is the library or module system. The minute I need code that requires a module I'm done. There isn't a single module I can install with PIP without getting an error such as 'no matching distribution found for urllib' or being told I need to upgrade pip, upgrading pip and then being told I need to upgrade pip the next time I start a new session.
I'm new to Python, about 3/4 the way through Coursera's "Intro to Programming" (using Python) and this...though I don't fully understand the syntax construction - this was very understandable AND awesome. I was able to find a different route for the bus route and then the pothole thing was very familiar in the IDLE. I feel I'd need a few more intermediate classes and then perhaps...well, how to do I become employable with Python? I love the syntax, as I'm also a Data Analyst - SQL Server/T-SQL, but need to know how exactly to put Python to use versus a 'electronic pen and paper' with more data points type of scenario. Or something 'more' than what SQL Server is, as I could have easily downloaded the 2nd data set, imported into SQL Server and voila. Figured out a bunch of stuff. Perhaps needing some stuff for mileage info. But you get the point. I want to use Python more...and I want to learn more...where this type of thinking/problem solving scenario is common place. But where one can actually get a job doing it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Between single quotes and double quotes there is a difference. The different is of style. For example, type single quotes when using a single 'word' while double quotes for a sentence "Phrase"
You are right. It was kind of depressing to see that all the graphical stuff is almost impossible to accomplish with libraries and bindings which are compatible with Python 3. There is one which should work (do not remember the name yet), but it required lots of manual installations of C and/or C++ libraries. I like Python, however, as long as I can do graphs and graphics more efficiently in Java or R, it's not an option for many applications.
It's not 'hacking' in the infosec sense . It is 'hacking' in the gnu/linux , richard stallman , linus torvalds etc ie doing knew and clever things with computers , basically what real programmers consider 'hacking' . See hacker definition 1 searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/hacker
Running Python from command line does not suck that badly. You write yourself a batch- or bash-file and there you might change things like which Python version to use, or what arguments you want to pass to the Python program. This flexibility makes it convient when writing code in the older Python 2 style or Python 3 style. You don't have to configure your IDE, just change a small entry (maybe just a signle character) in your batch-/bash-file
Nobody caught the countdown @12:45, where the while loop will never execute because n is never greater than 10 in this example? Should be while n > 0 lol
Thank you so much! This was very helpful! One question though: whenever I put "webbrowser.open('www.bing.com') it opens in internet explorer. How do I open it in chrome?
from urllib.request import urlopen u = urlopen('ctabustracker.com/bustime/map/getBusesForRoute.jsp?route=22') data=u.read() f=open('rt22.xml','wb') f.write(data) f.close #my code looks likes this but when i run it shows ==== No Subprocess ====
so how did he find the cta link? browsing around on the site it isn't very apparent. this would also be useful to know for other websites how to gather information
Before this i just made (currently still working on) a custom "KeyLogger" you enter username and password like you would do for minecraft. it saves what is typed there and saved. then it exits out and opens the real minecraft to play i used Java,Python,and batch for it to work so far.
This video is great, but do any of you have any suggestions for learning python if you have no programming skills what so ever? Also where I'm just starting out should I choose 2.7 or 3.3 to learn on? Thank you for your suggestions.
python is a cross platform language. It should not matter what platform he is using. also, mac os and most gnu/linux distributions have python pre-installed.
is it possible to show all files + directories on a ftp server without passwort (only viewing not writing). if i write anything wrong i only say that im from Germany
The problem I encounter with Python is, I can not present my solution as easily as I can develop it with, say, urllib. I can't SHOW it. Any website can show me something quite easily through html and my browser. But my own Python program is at disadvantage here.
If you get a empty xml-file you could be living in another timezone and it is in the midle of the night in Chicago and no buses are out. Happened to me :)
When I try to parse rt22.xml it brings up a bunch of errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Volumes/USB DISK/Python/modules/urllib/bustimesxmlparseandurllibwebbrowser.py", line 9, in doc = parse('rt22.xml') File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1182, in parse tree.parse(source, parser) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 657, in parse self._root = parser.close() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1654, in close self._raiseerror(v) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1506, in _raiseerror raise err ParseError: no element found: line 1, column 0
len 114602 By the way, if anyone else runs into this when trying to follow this tutorial, the error is caused by the rt22.xml file being improper XML... Mine downloaded without the last closing tag and the closing tag. Add those to the end of the rt22.xml file and you should be good.
I went to the site to get the data files but I get this error. "We're sorry, but the page you were looking for cannot be found. Please update your bookmarks accordingly."

I used to hate Python because of the indentation and dependency management It's growing on me lately though. My next small project might be in Python.

They should be doing a similar tutorial for python 3. Still the best I've seen on youtube so far.

Julia is very similar to Python so it's not that hard to figure out what's going on. Very good tutorial. A lot more interesting than most of the programming tutorials out there. Thanks.
Interesting way of teaching. Better than going through the grind of spending lot of time on basics. example based approach is much more fun

yes also reading up on some python books id pdf which yiu can finf plenty for free, it gives a great starting base for the language
My school gave me a book about basic stuff with python. Just so I get a basic understanding before I start my GCSE
Keep at it! I'm hoping to hack Facebook once I'm comfortable with Python.
I'm reading a python book by Richard L. Halterman is anybody's interested. So far I really like it, it gives the basic of a lot of topics. Free pdf
Spoder Man What is the link for the pdf?
What a great intro to Python! Thank you for presenting such a great class!
I really like these type of videos. Hats off to those who shared this!
Superb! I've learned so much with this. More please.

I just shifted from LINUX to MAC, man you all are right , LINUX ROCKS and PYTHON ON THE ROCKS
Any possible way you guys could re-do this video in 720HD?
Great tutorial David!
You CAN declare the value type for raw input commands, which is one thing he forgot to mention. 8:39
that's reaaaaly nice video buddy, very usefull, fun to watch and interactiv, thanks a bunch !
It's true. Mac doesn't lock down any of their bootloaders, and even advertise you can run Windows on them, and Linux can be run on them as well.

Thank God I've found this video again🙏
For slide 36; in Python 3.3.2 you'll need to use import urllib.request.urlopen instead of urllib.urlopen. On windows at least :)

Brazil love Python.
That's quite an interesting intro to Python (and data analytics)
It would be great if you would upload the examples converted to Python 3.5
Everybody probably thought the case belonged to the bus driver.
This looks great but is there any chance of an updated version for python 3.2.5? Have you published one already?
which version is this guy using?
applezauc3 2.7.3
Mac's OS is based off of Unix. I remember watching a really cool documentary about the birth of Linux. (proud Linux user)
Do you have the other files? Where can I learn more in depth info on the parsing stuff?
Very informative video tutorial, Thanks a lot
Very nice and practical. thanks
Nobody caught the countdown @12:45, where the while loop will never execute because n is never greater than 10 in this example? Should be while n > 0 lol

#my code looks likes this but when i run it shows ==== No Subprocess ====
oh mb i actually get xml file didnt relised
I think the problem is that you have no permission on 'rt22.xml'. You should change its mode. In linux, I think you can try: chmod a+w rt22.xml
superb video...
Because it is Unix, allowing it to run Linux code, while maintaining a simple UI and connection to a projector. Make sense?
Try using a ubuntu using a virtual machine. Commands are almost identical.

It would be nice if the info in the usb were placed somewhere where we could access it as well. Just thinking

Using 3.8 and cant make 18:50 to work. Is it type error on my behalf, or mismatch with version?

python is a cross platform language. It should not matter what platform he is using.
also, mac os and most gnu/linux distributions have python pre-installed.
What are you doing with the bash commands at minute 38:16?
is it possible to show all files + directories on a ftp server without passwort (only viewing not writing). if i write anything wrong i only say that im from Germany
Because Macs are machines awesome for operating systems. They can run pretty much any OS out there.

11:39 You can't add them cause you forgot to add the parenthesis.
If you get a empty xml-file you could be living in another timezone and it is in the midle of the night in Chicago and no buses are out. Happened to me :)
where do you find xml file
15:49 there is no closing ' on urlopen
I did the first bus code exactly as instructed, however, when I finished writing it out, nothing happened. Am I not supposed to be seeing some HTML?
Howard seems to be still driving in the same route. lol
This guy is refreshingly cool!
I am running this through python shell on windows
and
the shell is not displaying anything after i run the file?
it should download an xml file. check in your execution directory
thx a lot for your professionalism!
1 - that's an xml errror, not a python one.. and 2 - i think you may have used a variable that you hadn't already declared.
Very fun exercise.
