Things that prevent complications ... part 1

The difference between ... input and raw_input
input returns an object that's the result of evaluating the expression. raw_input returns a string ...

The difference between ... Python 3 and Python 2
If you run the Python 3, do not use sample code written for Python 2, you'll just end with many errors and much confusion ...

The difference between ... extend and append on a list
Extend just extend a list with another list by adding each element on list, append add the list like one element...

The difference between ... function and method
Method is a function with an extra parameter which is the object that it's to run on...

The difference between ... deleting a variable and deleting its contents
By removing its contents by setting NoneType variable allows you to add a new value.

These are just a few differences, in reality they are much more ... I will return with others ...

PyOpenGL and PyOpenGL-accelerate 3.0.1 - latest version

First , the major error is this:

I try fix this with ... NetFx20SP2_x86.exe, not working.
I use google to donload the dll file. Is not correct way , but this fix error.
I use this PyOpenGL-3.0.1.zip to install OpenGL module under Python 2.6.2 ...
Just use this :

python setup.py install

But you can not use python on command line, because you need to add on enviroment vars...
Just try something like this...

C:\>set PATH=C:\Python26;%PATH%

To see the result , just use:

C:\path

You can test the OpenGL modules...

>>> import OpenGL
>>> import OpenGL_accelerate
>>> help(OpenGL_accelerate)
Help on package OpenGL_accelerate:

NAME
    OpenGL_accelerate - Cython-coded accelerators for the PyOpenGL wrapper

FILE
    c:\python26\lib\site-packages\opengl_accelerate\__init__.py

DESCRIPTION
    This package contains Cython accelerator modules which
    attempt to speed up certain aspects of the PyOpenGL 3.x
    wrapper mechanism.  The source code is part of the
    PyOpenGL package and is built via the setupaccel.py
    script in the top level of the PyOpenGL source package.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Logging documentation for Python 2.7 reorganised like Python 3

First , what is logging module ?

This module defines functions and classes which implement a flexible event logging system for applications and libraries.

The organisation is now as follows:

• http://docs.python.org/library/logging – reference documentation for the logging module
• http://docs.python.org/library/logging.config - reference documentation for the logging.config module
• http://docs.python.org/library/logging.handlers - reference documentation for the logging.handlers module
• http://docs.python.org/howto/logging – basic and advanced logging tutorials
• http://docs.python.org/howto/logging-cookbook – how to use logging in different scenarios

The best way to understand this module is to see the tutorials...

Using modules in Python 3.2

Python is quite known and appreciated.
Today I saw an article "What's your favorite programming language?" LinuxWeek proncetaj of a 26% (1074 votes) ...
In python "module" which is actually a library.
Using it is simple: import "module name"
See example below:

import os

There are many modules in the Python language.
For example I chose an example of how to display modules that are installed. Open the python command line and run the examples below:

C:\Python32>python
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Feb 20 2011, 21:29:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> help('modules')

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
