getting started with python

[camsr]

Not to draw this off-topic, but this was the program...

The dependency in question is the pyglet library, which I gathered from his forum.
I assumed I was good to go if I loaded the run.py file included, and pressed the go button. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

That happens indeed, if the author doesn't port its modules. It's not just Python, all other languages have the same problem

But if you get a 32bits Anaconda, it might work. Please note that the program is quite old and not maintained byt its author since almost forever!

There was a few errors, can I PM you for help?

yes, but as the original module was never ported and I don't know anything about pyglet...

I've written a small amount of python for video game scripts. It's a decent language, but coming from C it's really different. Most of the basic stuff is the same, it's just done in a more modular way, dynamically at runtime, than what my brain is used to!

does anyone know this?

is it good? as i'm using visual studio for c++ anyway, it would probably make sense to use this instead of spyder.

spyder is not bad, but something annoys me: when i enter a function name and an opening parenthesis - it shows the signature - as it should be - good. but two seconds later, that tooltip is gone (i think they call it calltips). i've looked into the editor preferences, if i can set it to a higher time value or even better, and indefinite one - but nothing. am i missing something? ...yes - that's right, i'm considering to switch the IDE/editor because of that seemingly small thing
