I think a separate list is most apropriate. The developoment list shouldn't be encumbered with questions from newbies in programming. That said, I am willing to act as a mentor for a separate list.

Is that an appropriate mailing list to conduct a discussion of learning Python? Or should we create a separate list?
Thanks,

Hi, The most appropriate list to join is nvda-devel (hosted at SourceForge). I'm not qualified to create a subgroup on this forum. Cheers, Joseph

I would be up to joining this list as well. Alsways up for learning something new.

Hello:
I would be interested in joining this group. I have some Python experience, and will be taking a course at my community college in a few weeks. Syntax errors are usually caused because there is an error when using the code. I have seen those courses and I found that sometimes they would not describe the syntax correctly; which lead to miss typing the code. Python is case sensitive, or you might have missed a certain punctuation mark.
Sally, your e-mail doesn't show up on this thread. I only see the mailing list address. Could you send us your e-mail?
Thanks,

Hello all,
Thank you for the copious advice!
In the past, I tried MIT OpenCourseware and MITx 6.00 which are both versions of their introduction to computer science course taught in Python. I always ended up in the situation where following the directions keystroke for keystroke generated a syntax error and I had no one to ask for help. This is what I want to avoid by having friends plugging away at it with me and experts on hand for when we bog down.
If others are interested in finding a book/course and slogging through it together, please reply to me privately and I am happy to facilitate communication and coordination off list.
I would also be happy to work through any future NVDA specific programming tutorials.
So, drop me a line if you would like to plod through this in a group with me.
Hope to hear from some of you on this thread.
Regards,
Sally

You don't have to learn python the hard way. What you need is a tutorial that assumes no probramming experience and no familiarity with programming concepts. Manuals aren't it. They are for programmers learning a new language. What is needed is a turorial written by someone who has experience teaching programming from the ground up.

Hi,
as I have written, beginners to programing should take a tutorials/manuals, which are simple and explain python in plain language so it can be understandable for all of us. I suggest you: https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ ( https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ ) there are books, which can help you self-teaching coding. these are divided in cca 50 section - exercises. through them you can begin to know how to programing.
warning: if you really want to code, you will have to train yourself a lot.
hope this helps and that in this post I was clearer than in my previous message.
regards, Jožef
