How long does it take to learn python?

About as long as it takes you to read the docs front to end

My first programming language was python and I could code battleships with colors and all in the terminal within 2 weeks, coding on spare time. It's really easy to learn. Learning a programming language varies heavily from person to person though.

Also, when do you lads think you've 'learned' a language.

>yeah, python takes a shit-ton to compile and run
>python
>compile

What an idiot...

The interpreter runs on compiled python byte-code, not the raw source code

python interprets the raw source code and runs.
Doesn't compile anything.

Why do you fags keep saying stupid shit?
If you don't know how it works, keep your mouth shut.

.pyc files are worthless junk that the Python INTERPRETER (as in, interpreted language) uses to be a little faster with some operations.

It doesn't use those files all the time for every program.
Stop being an idiot!

I'm gonna assume you don't know how to program, otherwise you can learn Python syntax in a day or so.
I'd say it takes about a month to write simple scripts in Python if you've never programmed before.

Python doesn't interpret the raw source code. Python compiles source code to bytecode, and the bytecode gets interpreted by the Python VM. Take your own advice and shut up.

read the comment.

It literally compiles into bytecode and runs that you mog. Go troll some other thread

For brainlets like me, a long time. Shouldn't be too bad if you're taking a course on it though

you make fun of yourself. funny.

Exactly as long as it takes to switch to C instead.

what is the most appropriate text editor for writing Python?
i like using vi for C
joe for java

1 hour if youve programmed before. Otherwise a week

literally wrong, go be a retard somewhere else.

>Go troll some other thread
You're just an idiot who can't see the truth right in your face.
(You) go be a faggot somewhere else too.

I did, that guy is clueless and doesn't know what he's talking about.

vim

Like every other programming languages, probably about a month. Tops.

Don't be a nigger

Nobody unironically sits down and learns python
It's more of a language you use to prototype things before actually writing it in a real language
You end up accidentally learning it after making a bunch of project prototypes

Are you illiterate? Can you read what I posted?

Here's another article that explains it, although I'm guessing you will just ignore it and namecall

nedbatchelder.com/blog/201803/is_python_interpreted_or_compiled_yes.html

I can post *many* more sources for you to ignore if you want

you basically already know it.

Can I learn python and C at the same time? I am already taking to C quite well.

For hobby use? 1 week.
For professional supplemental use? 1 week.
For use as your profession? Give it 6 months to a year and write a shit ton of code.

I recommend just sticking with C until you have a good grasp on it, then try out Python. If C becomes too hard jump ship to Python for a little while.

How long does it take to learn python if I never have touched any programming langue at all?

What's a good source to learn python from? Something that doesn't sweep technical details under the carpet (like from my brief dabbling in the past I remember running into some unexpected behaviour that lists were for some reason immutable in contrast with everything else or something like that.)

Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw. Can still get it free online if you dig through links on the book website.

2 or 3

Learning the syntax is pretty quick op, but that doesn't mean you'll suddenly start writing useful stuff.

IDK, python is fun to play around with and an excellent way to get started, but afterward, you should learn some data structures and algorithms to do anything useful.

Isn't that the one which gets you to write tedious text adventures?

At what point do you have the language learned?
