Monty Python?

the computer language

I prefer squeak, but yeah, python is cool. I just don't get it.

Yes, python is awesome, and I'm learning it.

Python is awesome. "A Byte of Python" is a great, in-depth guide.

I love Python!    I once tried to learn Java, and I think I'm still missing a few brain cells. >_> I mean 'Hello world.' looks like this in Java.

Code:

class myfirstjavaprog
{  
        public static void main(String args[])
        {
           System.out.println("Hello World!");
        }
}

When in Python its just

Code:

print"Hello world."

This is true, but in python you have to import modulus, which I never understood how to do.

import module

Just replace "module" with whatever the name of the module is. For example:

import math

will import the "math" module that comes with Python. Then just use

module.function

to use whatever function you need that is contained in that module. So If you needed to find the square root of a variable and output the result, you could do this:

import math
num = int(input('Enter a number: '))
num = math.sqrt(num)
print num

Wrong! They were a group:
Monty Python (sometimes known as The Pythons)[2][3] were a British comedy group that created the influential Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC  on 5 October 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, spawning touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books and a stage musical as well as launching the members to individual stardom. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music.[4][5]

The television series, broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974, was conceived, written and performed by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Loosely structured as a sketch show but with an innovative stream-of-consciousness approach (aided by Gilliam's animation), it pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in style and content.

A self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work, they changed the way performers entertained audiences. The Pythons' creative control allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding rules of television comedy. Their influence on British comedy has been apparent for years, while in North America it has coloured the work of cult performers from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent absurdist trends in television comedy. "Pythonesque" has entered the English lexicon as a result.

My fav's are:
Holy Grail
Life Of brian
How to irratate people.

The funniest in my opinion is John Cleese.

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin


He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin

His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged


   Well that's enough music for now, lads...

/ G - D - / / / /

Brave Sir Robin ran away - No!
Bravely ran away, away - I didn't!
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled - No!
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin

Ugh. Thank you but no thank you. If I can program in Python, then thats all I need.    Thanks for the offer, though!
P.S. @Harakou, I noticed you used "input". Whats the difference in between that and "raw_input"?

I program in python. I am not an expert, but I am pretty good and I'm taking a class.

Here is a fully fuctional deal of no deal program, but the banker formula is just the average of all the money on the board beacuse I can't find the right formula    :

import time
import random
moneySetsList = [0.01,1,5,10,25,50,75,100,200,300,400,500,750,1000,5000,10000,25000,50000,75000,100000,200000,300000,400000,500000,750000,1000000]

    time.sleep(1)
    dond = input('Deal, or No Deal: ')

Oh yah, this is in python 3.1.2 for anyone who is wondering.

Wrong!  Well, wrong about me being wrong anyways.  I know what I'm dealing with.  Monty Python's Flying Circus was the television show, and Monty Python was the common name of their troupe, but Monty Python himself wasn't a real person, the title was created because they decided the show should be under the name of a cheesey television agent.  Eric Idle decided on Python, Cleese decided on Monty.

Also, you copied your entry off wikipedia I believe.
