I spend a fair amount of time in the Python StackOverflow tag. I've noticed that questions which ask about dealing with third party modules tend to get fewer answers/views than questions that deal exclusively with problems that can be solved within the Python standard libraries.
It looks like all of your python related questions deal with third party libraries.
You obviously know how to ask decent questions on StackOverflow, as I can see you're providing good code examples. In the case where you're dealing with third party modules in Python, I would suggest taking the extra step of including links to the documentation/tutorials that got you to the point you're at.
- niteshade 14y agoToo true, unfortunate as it may be, but I don't think many people have that much experience in third-party Python libraries. Your best bet is to try and find examples from the source or find somewhere that uses it. I've had the same problems myself, a lot of the bigger libraries like Django etc. have good documentation, so its usually not a problem.
- morganwilde 14y agoAs funny as it may sound, I was a bit intimidated by Django and thus choose to go for Flask instead for my first steps. There is no rationale behind this, just some strange feeling. Thought I'd mention.
- morganwilde 14y agoThis is a superbly useful advice, thank you. As a side note, 3rd party modules is something unavoidable in web python, at least from my experience (unlike PHP, where you can go plain vanilla easily), so I thought it would be like an organic part of the Python community. P.s. in the mean time I did get one answer.
