Learning python?
Hi all!
I'm inspired by the Python tutorial thread!
As I mentioned in my intro-mail I'm in the process of learning Python.
I'm very much a beginner although I feel that I'm starting to get the
basics down. But since it can be a bit boring writing 'hello world'
programs I started on a more 'meaningful' project which of course means
that I have to learn a whole lot more a whole lot faster... but it's a
whole lot more fun.
My project is a graphical front-end to APT (shamelessly named 'Tinapt')
using Qt (PyQT / PyKDE). I'm still very much trying to stick with the
KISS principle and shun the more fancy solutions for now. I do however
plan to keep improving it as I get a better programmer and the ultimate
goal is for it to end up somewhere between Synaptic and Aptitude. But
for now it will remain a learning project. So to my point: It's fun
learning alone but it would maybe be even more fun to learn together
with others, so I was wondering if there are any other Python newbies
out there wanting to join me in this project? I've been looking at
putting it up on BerliOS (www.berlios.de) and run it as a 'real' project
in order to learn how that is done too. Still have a few things to
figure out in that regard though...

Interested? Let me know :) Just remember that the emphasis is on
learning, so if this sounds like a silly little waste-of-time project
you are probably right ;)
