I don't think you will find a mentor that way. Instead, I'd suggest you to go to stackoverflow or various programmers forums with your questions. Stackoverflow is more for straight forward questions ("I have this code, it's suppose to do this, but instead it does that"), and you can find other forums to ask more "abstract" question ("is this code good?", "what is the most efficient way to do X?", etc.).
Good luck!
- EricW613 12y agoAgreed. Your mentor shouldn't be reviewing your code. That stuff is meant for the forums. You should tell your mentor about your program what it's doing and how it's doing it. He/She can tell you the best approach from there.
- OGiR 12y agoyou can find other forums to ask more "abstract" questions Could you name a few? I am often looking for places to ask unspecific questions of experienced programmers.
- justintbassett 12y agoreddit's language-specific subreddits are a good casual place to start (although they can be surprisingly sparse)
- avinassh 12y agofor code reviews you can use http://codereview.stackexchange.com http://codereview.stackexchange.com and for python code review and feedback, try http://reddit.com/r/learnpython/ http://reddit.com/r/learnpython/ , it's a great subreddit with lots of helpful senior members.
- S4M 12y agoApart from the links the other commenters mentioned, there is IRC as well. I don't go there too often, but I came here with some "abstract" questions and I was well received - the last time I went, I asked in #python on freenode the most "pythonic" way to do something.
