Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Book
Hi Adam, im loving your book and learning a lot from it. Thank you for it.
Just a quick remark i've found is that i'm reading it in kindle on ipad.
And came across a few issues regarding code formating.
i.e: the ; used to symbol the end of line is confusing sometimes. I'm
on the __str__ and __repr__ part of the book and the sample code doesnt
work for me. for instance i dont know when the code is inside the class
or outside since there is only ; in the end of each line.
example:
19. Execute the following lines to add a __repr__() method to the Human
class.
...
i understand that all the code beneath this is all to go inside the
class declaration.
This way doesnt work for me. when i try to put some code outside it
works but not always so i get confused.
Just a suggestion: why not use bitmaps/images to example code? that way
it would be easier to read/write/understand.
Hope you don't mind i put a portion of the code i am using here:
import maya.cmds as cmds
class Human(object):
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
self.first_name=kwargs.setdefault('first')
self.last_name=kwargs.setdefault('last')
self.height=kwargs.setdefault('height')
self.weight=kwargs.setdefault('weight')
def bmi(self):
return self.weight/float(self.height)**2
def human_rep(self):
return Human(%s =%s, %s =%s)%(first,first_name,last,last_name)
Human.__rep__= human_rep
sis = Human(first='Ruth',last='miranda')
baby_sis = Human(first='Emily', last='miranda')
print (sis,baby_sis)
all i get is:
(__main__.Human object at 0x95ece50, __main__.Human object at 0x95ecf90)
Thanks again for writing this book.
Best regards
Ricardo Viana

they are selling it through (it has been pretty first to go, last to

though, so they may not even sell there at all :(

It turns out writing a book is really hard, so I'm sure there were plenty of things that made it in under the radar in the final crunch ;) I just want to make sure we have an opportunity to fix as many issues as possible for the second printing.

[Maya-Python] Re: book about python
A lot of people recommend O'Reilly books, but when I started learning python, the guys around me told me to get this one instead: http://www.amazon.com/Python-Chris-Fehily/dp/0201748843/ref=sr_1_2?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1312833189sr=1-2 This is the new edition which I have not seen yet: http://www.amazon.com/Python-Visual-QuickStart-Guide-2nd/dp/0321585445/ref=sr_ob_2?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1312833189sr=1-2 What I liked about this book is it gives you very clear and concrete information, followed by examples. And it tells you exactly what you need to know.

+1 on diveintopython. It was my first Python resource also, seems to hold my attention better than some other programming books I've read.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: book about python
this is a nice site and handy reference. http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_tuples.htm Note that most analogies explaining OOP are far more complicated than actual OOP--so try to find an tangible example --like a vector class, etc. good luck.

These all great resources. Thanks guys! I ran across this, 6 Free E-Books on Learning to Program with Python http://www.readwriteweb.com/hack/2011/03/python-is-an-increasingly-popu.php There are also some resource links others shared in the comments below. This is more of an info-dump than recommendations. I haven't read through any of them, although this one looked interesting to me. http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe
