This is a sample project that the TPSC is doing to learn more about creating Python things.
After installing any requirements listed below, just bring up a Bash
shell (terminal window on Linux/Mac, or "Git Bash here" from the
File Explorer right-click menu on Windows) and run ./Test. This will
create the virtual environment, download the Python libraries and
programs it uses, and run the tests.
- Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
apt-get install python3 - Mac:
brew install python3(maybe :-)) - Windows: Download and run the Windows executable or web-based installer from the Python 3.6.5 page.
You need an editor suitable for programming, so not Notepad. (Notepad++ is ok, though.) If you don't currently have a preferred editor, Visual Studio Code is powerful and popular.
As a programmer you will be spending more time with your editor than with all other programs combined, so you should learn one editor well and use it all the time, for all your tasks, on all systems.
- Debian/Ubuntu Linux:
apt-get install git - Mac:
brew install git(maybe, or maybe it comes with Git. Who knows.) - Windows: You need Git for Windows. When installing it make
sure you choose the following settings when prompted:
- "Checkout as-is, commit as-is"
People working on this project include:
- Curt J. Sampson (0cjs)
- Mateusz Bysiek (mbdevpl)
- Manish Dangol (dangol manish)
- Anand D. Joshi (flypicaso)
- Reiko Kobayashi (reyrey007)
TPSC has chatrooms on Gitter. You can read messages without logging in, but you will need to sign in with your GitHub, GitLab or Twitter account to write messages.
Meeting information is on Meetup.
