Python Session 6

Goals and Tasks

• Learn Python the Hard Way - Exercise 10: What Was That? "escape sequences": nice to know they are around, but do not bother with learning the details, look up when needed.
• Learn Python the Hard Way - Ex11: Asking Questions Getting simple input from users of your program.
• Learn Python the Hard Way - Ex12: Prompting People Input with raw_input. I do not use either of these methods much because it is much nicer, and harder, to put up a Graphical User Interface -- a window for this purpose. Formatting strings raise their ugly head, just plow through.
