😉That is the joke. Of Python's 35 keywords, we can learn 14 of them in 1 hour and 20 minutes.

I normally use venv and recommend it for most projects. The point of this video was to try out pyenv to see what it has to offer. Actually the main point was to see how to install pyenv on Windows. It looks like pyenv offers the ability to install multiple versions of python and to specify for each project which version of python to use. It also avoids the need to activate and deactivate virtual environments.

@@DTimCummings considering how well venv integrates with vs code, it seems that pyenv is a solution looking for a problem if you use vs code If you don't use an ide, pyenv offers marginal benefits, but learning an extra tool just for the sake of learning extra tool seems like effort that can be applied to learning the vs code features that can be used to swap interpreters and environment

You can see full list of videos at kzbin.infostreams . The first number is 52 and there are some gaps in the numbering because they are for meetups of which some do not have videos. You can also checkout our github repository with python scripts for each video. The beginning of each script contains a docstring with links to youtube, colab notebooks, meetup events, other github repositories and references. github.com/timcu/bpaml-sessions/tree/master/online . Mine are the scripts with _tim_ in the name.

As well as `Paragraph`s there are other `Flowable`s. I demonstrated others like `Preformatted`, `ListFlowable`, `BalancedColumns`, `Spacer`. There is another one called `Image`. You can read about it here docs.reportlab.com/reportlab/userguide/ch9_other_useful_flowables/#imagefilename . `Flowable`s don't give you a lot of control where the image will show on the page, but they do control where it displays relative to other content. If you are more interested in position on page then use canvas like you suggested.

Try my later videos which were updated for a more recent version of dash. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWm1komjl5KWaZI (Windows: tasks 1-6, meetup 100) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqfGhWWqd5yckJY (Windows: tasks 7-10, meetup 101)

Best way is the slack channel because more than one person will be watching and could provide an answer. Here is OK also because future viewers will see the answer, but it might come slower

@@DTimCummings Mr. Cummings - First, THANK YOU for creating these presentations - as a newly retired engineer I am looking at this to expand my knowledge of Python and Libre Office. I apologize for what may be "newbie" questions, but ,,, 1) Is there a link to the Slack Channel? I am afraid I am un acquainted with that channel. 2) After reviewing meeting 118 - Why is datetime in the structure datetime.datetime.now() - why the two (2) "datetimes"? 3) Do you have a presentation that details how to determine what methods are used in a library and how to use them? (My background is not in Object Oriented programming - I am trying to learn...) Again, thank you!

@@tonyradice4166 1) Please email skypyprojectatgmaildotcom for an invitation to join slack channel 2) Different ways to use datetime a) import datetime # imports whole library but everything in library needs to be prefixed by datetime d = datetime.datetime.now() # first datetime is library name prefix, second datetime is class within library b) from datetime import datetime # only imports the datetime class from library but now it doesn't need prefix d = datetime.now() 3) From python console type the following to see methods and classes import datetime help(datetime) # help on all classes in datetime library help(datetime.datetime) # help on all functions in datetime class help(datetime.datetime.now) # help on now function in datetime class in datetime library dir(datetime) # list of classes or functions in datetime library dir(datetime.datetime) # list of functions in datetime class

@@DTimCummings - AGAIN, Many Thanks!! - (1) in progress (2) Understood (3) Will be working with!

gitlab.com/LibreOfficiant/ide_utils is a project specifically for this requirement.

@@DTimCummings Thanks for the direction. I managed to get Pycharm working (no debug). VS Code seems difficult to setup. Thanks again!

Thanks for the great review. I too found existing documentation and tutorials for Python scripting of LibreOffice lacking and incomplete. I hope this video provides all you need to know to get started and be productive.

The documentation is indeed so lacking that it probably discourages many people from even trying, so they don't even think of looking up on KZbin. But it is on KZbin that I found the best APSO tutorial for example !

@@DTimCummings The audio is horrible.

Thanks for this comment. I will think how to make it more understandable for beginner coders.

@@DTimCummings Thanks Tim, you could do that or clarify that it's beginners Python, not beginner's coding - whichever fits your intention better. I liked your delivery style. I will go over the recording and try to educate myself for next month. Looking forward to it. Cheers.
