Having just recently learned Python the "hard" way, I really wish I would've seen this beforehand. Even having done some hands-on work and a lot of Googling, I picked up a few new things from this I hadn't seen before. Thanks!

This existed as of two days ago, so don't feel too bad :)

Same here, I just went through the same course. (Learn Python the hard way). Coming from a php background I had (and am having) problems wrapping my head around the packaging section. I started to lose interest because of it. It's as if I hit a wall. Can any Python hackers offer some good resources for learning more about packaging?

  Are you trying to use packages or create them?

    I'm trying to create packages. I haven't been able to find a decent tutorial on creating packages. That particular section in "Learn Python the Hard Way" was hard for ME to follow. I was able to create a package but only after finding a link on stackoverflow question that then redirected me to a github page containing a sample package from an individual who also had problems. He states that his package worked but he wasn't sure if he created the package correctly. I've tried reading the python documentation but I'm too dumb to understand some of the language. (No CS background, just a regular dude and a computer here.)

  Hey Zed here, are you talking about exercise 46? http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex46.html http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex46.html If you email me with the problems you had I'll see what's wrong with the exercise and figure it out. There was a particularly stupid ordering problem with it where I had people install requirements after they needed them, so go double check it again and see if it got better. Also, email me help@learncodethehardway.org with what you ran into. If you're in San Francisco I'll even meet you in person to figure out what you're doing live (works way faster).
