thanks

No problem

man why is python so reliant on packages
That is the best part
topaz idol
want to make a window? need to get something
dense moat
The hard work has been done for you

man why is python so reliant on packages
because it got hundred of thousands of them, can't package them all in there
dense moat
Other languages, such as C++ have few libraries and you need to code everything by yourself
brazen oak
it's the ecosystem that makes python so popular and powerful
topaz idol
interesting
dense moat
Sure if you want to make a window, you can do it, but you will do it in hundreds of lines
With packages, in a few lines you are done
For example with turtle

well, there is lots of them as well online, but it's more work to import and use them
dense moat
from turtle import Screen
screen = Screen()
screen.exitonclick()
Would make you exit the screen when it's you click on the window, with an if statement probably you can do what you want
dense moat
well, there is lots of them as well online, but it's more work to import and use...
Yeah probably
dense moat
so how do i install them
Turtle is built in
dense moat
No need to install it
topaz idol
thats great then
topaz idol
so i could make it work with pynput to close the screen when i press Q?

In Java, you need to import java.util.Map before you can use it, while in Python things like that are built into the syntax.

unless you use the PyCharm GUI for it you can also go to the console and make sure your venv is active and do
py -m pip import
thats rlly cool

yeah the pycharm console is useful

```py
from turtle import Screen
screen = Screen()
screen.exitonclick()
```
Woul...
And u can resize the screen to ur liking with screen.setup(x,y)
topaz idol
hmmmmm, so why doesnt this work?
from pynput import keyboard
from turtle import Screen
while Screen():
def on_press(key):
if key == keyboard.Key.A:
exit(Screen())```you don't want Screen() as the while condition and not inside the exit()either
topaz idol
you don't want `Screen()` as the while condition and not inside the `exit()`eith...
but i thought if it was the while condition
it would work while the screen is on no?
digital lodge
I kinda suck at python, but you might be able to do
from turtle import screen
screen = Screen()
def closeScreen():
screen.exit()
screen.listen()
screen.onkeypress(closeScreen, “A”)
dense moat
but i thought if it was the while condition
It is hard to assume what a function does from a package you have never worked with before. You should check out the documentation from the turtle module online
Screen() is a class, not a function so it won't do anything but it will give you the options to do so
topaz idol
ok so im testing out some attributes, and im running into a problem where i run the script, and the screen appears for like 1/10 of a second then dissapears
topaz idol
Screen() is a class, not a function so it won't do anything but it will give you...
whats the difference
is a class just an object type????
dense moat
A class is a collection of functions and attributes mainly

I just woke up after not sleeping 28 hours
topaz idol
go to sleep

I cannot, I gotta sleep at night too because I have school tomorrow

You should see Rust. Rust's standard library doesn't even include random number generation. Almost everything is a separate package.
topaz idol
holy

yeah, "bring your own batteries" 😉
Go on the other hand got all kinds of batteries included

tkinter is part of the python standard library

tkinter is part of the python standard library
hmmm, so whats the tkinter import called?
e.g
from tkinter import (???)```consult the docs:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html

ok so you seem knowledge

if screen.onclick():
screen.setup(900, 200)```what gave you the idea to use if screen.onclick(): ?
topaz idol
what gave you the idea to use `if screen.onclick():` ?
if click when screen
if there is a clcik

that's not how it works, it kind of seems like you are throwing random things at the wall and hoping they work

how much programming have you done?
topaz idol
how much programming have you done?
i made uhhhhh
a few scratch games
dipped my toes
toxic zephyr
I think if you are new, i would recommend to do some kind of structured learning, like cs50x or cs50p classes, those are great for beginners
topaz idol
I think if you are new, i would recommend to do some kind of structured learning...
what are those
toxic zephyr
free classes by harvard,
cs50x is intro to programming: some scratch (just first thing, then some C, python, html, css, javascript) it sort of introduces you to things conceptually across a few languages - very good for building foundations and mental map of how to think in general programming
cs50p is intro to python: its purely python and more about learning the language syntax than conceptual things, a bit easier overall, but both are good intros
topaz idol
i know more than a few programming concepts
so i guess i'll take the python one
thanks

WHAT IS A FUN ARGUEMENT
Probably a function.
You're supposed to pass a function as an argument to screen.onclick(), as in screen.onclick(function_that_handles_clicks)
That'd be my guess
