Hooray! All better. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the quick response. All is good. Yeah, now to become a python master!!

Great! I really like python, went already through the course. Looking forward for more courses.

Issues I had. On Firefox

1 Console is hangging up sometimes or I lose keyboard input. I guess session runs out.

2 missing the possibility to copy and paste in the console.

3 missing syntax highlight for python for the forum post like ```Python

Hey Daniel Chan, thanks for taking the course.

As for your issues:

1. yeah, we know. looking into it.
2. hadn't heard about this, I'll bring it up to the devs.
3. really?

my_list = [1, True, 'alpha']

ha! nice could not get it work... I guess the problem is sitting between my chair and the keyboard. ;) I blame the German keyboard.

Test:

def at_trafficlight(lightcolor):
if light == 'red':
  return 'stop'
elif light == 'yellow':
  return 'slow'
elif light == 'green':
  return 'go'

It's coming! Should learn the basics before you jump into Django or Flask, though.

Flask and Django are both definitely coming.

Thanks @Melissa Locke. I'm looking into it. Are you launching the workspace from the right side of the video or from the menu strip over on the left?

I am launching from the workspace icon on the right side of the video. I am in chrome on a chormebook, not sure if that makes a difference

OK, try using the Workspaces link on the lefthand side of the site for now. We're looking into how to make the Workspaces button in the video do the right thing.

I tried that also, updated workspaces, opened the beginner python, opened a new one and set it to python environment. No luck. I can find a work around if this is more of an individual issue then a broader one.

I've set up and attached a new starter Workspace to the first video. Give that try (click the blue button) and let me know if it helps.

Well, I getting the same thing. Just the text editor and no console terminal. Could it be the Chrome OS on my chromebook. I will check it out on my PC

It might be fun to learn a little bit of Linux while you learn Python.

• A way to start is to just download whatever you want from a Linux distribution’s website. I recommend either Debian, Ubuntu, or Kali Linux, Just download an iso file for either 32-bit or 64-bit.
• Option #1 download VirtualBox or Option #2 download the linux usb boot utility to create a bootable linux partition on a USB drive or a DVD etc..some kind of media.
• Hit power and it should boot from the media either from your media or file in virtualbox. It will prompt for installing or running it live.
• Choose live if you wanna get started quickly.
• Once you get in look for the command line icon. If you can't find it look for a menu icon and use a search function.
• Once you're in your bash shell type python --version
• If version returns 2.x then type

apt-get install update && apt-get install python3.4

• Once that completes type

nano helloworld.py

• Or if you wanna just use the interpreter type

python3.4

Hope it helps. Python is works really well with Linux & it comes pre-installed & configured on most flavors of Linux.

Yes.

Ahhh, that's why I keep failing. lol
