Python is rapidly raising as the preferred language for data gathering and analysis. This talk will demonstrate how to use Python to gather tweet and do simple analysis. Talk: Hacking Python: Adding a new Python Statement Speaker: Vijay Kumar Duration: 45 min Python is a very good beginner's language. The 'turtle' module enables, Python to be taught to school students. But there is one difficulty in using Python as a beginner's language -- the higher barrier to writing simple loops. 'while' loops require the knowledge of variables, 'for' loops require the knowledge of lists! LOGO has a loop statement called 'repeat <n>', that simplifies loops to a great extent. This talk will show how to hack Python to add a 'repeat' statement to Python, like the one shown below. This talk is based on the Stack Overflow response http://stackoverflow.com/a/215697 ----- # Draw Square repeat 4: turtle.fd(100) turtle.rt(90) ----- If you would like to give a lightning talk, just come prepared, we will be able to accommodate you. If you are new to Python, the tutorial at http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/ will give you a quick overview of what Python is all about.
