Title: The Complete Python Course: Go from Beginner To Advanced! Sold through: Udemy (originally presented through a Google message) Instructors: Joe Parys, Syed Raza Bottom Line: For $10 or $15, if what you need is a general survey and don’t insist on actual detailed explainations or complete accuracy, then this course may be a fair […]

An updated version of the General Toolbox (vPro2A) has just been posted (10/2/17) thanks to a student who dropped me an email noting that almost everywhere I used “true” or “false” is should be “True” or “False”. That took 2 minutes but making upgrades is like eating peanunts. A week later the very dense summary […]

For the full text of this rant please see the multi-screen demo under GUI stuff. Getting multiple screens of information created and managed in tkinter is difficult, especially for a newcomer to Python. There are three primary reasons: First, tkinter is a language several times the size and complexity of core Python and we beginners […]

If you folded up a tent and built the Governor’s Mansion in the same spot – thats about the same scale as what we have done with TB3.  All the “data on disk” stuff is currently hanging out in limbo while we decide on a new home for it.  Meanwhile a whole new 2 page, […]

TB3 page 1 is temporarilly being withdrawn – not because the information on it was wrong, but because it was incomplete and too condensed to be easily understood.  I appreciate it when you send me feedback that lets me see through your eyes!

There is no non-public material, though I planned to have some around October.  A few nice folks registered just for courtesy or thinking I might introduce some member only pages.  The problem was that there were too many registrations, and too high a […]

Due to an extraordinary number of scummy folks with a history of spam or comment abuse registering on wikipython there is now a completely different process.  A registrant will be given an initial role of “subscriber”, a background check for spam and site abuse will be done and if that clears they will be sent […]

*This was posted in early 2017 – several versions updated since and the whole basic tkinter toolbox went from 2 to 10 pages: Version 1 of Big Daddy’s Python tkinter Toys Toolbox is up and has already been corrected a couple of times.  If I were you I would not download it for a reference for […]

Mainly this site is for younger Python and RPi users who tell me they find a lot of “geek speak” but not many well documented examples that really help them learn how to use commands and stuff. The things I will post on tkinter, ttk and tix may be interesting to itermediate users. I would […]
