I'm sure this is good information, but I don't know what "Eclipse" is. I also don't know what PyDev is, nor code completion.
I simply can't get command.exe to run my program, which is an incredibly simple program to print "helloworld". I did everything the instructional video said, but when trying to get Command.exe or CMD.exe to run the program, it looks like the App Engine can't really find the helloworld file, i get errors. I don't really care about code completion-- if you mean that when you type Python commands it changes their color and helps you format the lines. Pretty sure I could solve that problem by buying a text editor instead of using the free Notepad in Windows. Remember, I'm a beginner. I took about 4 years of Pascal in HS in college in about 1990, that's all I know about programming. Back then, you wrote code, compiled it to machine language (which I guess further compiled to assembly language-- ones and zeroes-- or is it the other way around?), and the program ran if you typed it's program name into the command line prompt. I GET that I have to be in the proper disk drive to run programs within that drive, or directory within that drive. Some one at Google should create a series of videos for how beginners can create programs using WINDOWS, not Mac. Perhaps some lessons on Python and HTML and JavaScript and how they all interact would benefit Google too. That way, they could train an army of developers that don't need degrees in programming, helping their own cause given how many APIs they've created. I'd LOVE to create some buttons for Google Toolbar, or other simple programs, but learning how to do that practically requires a computer science degree. Programming shouldn't be that hard! J.
