Three Python Tutorials

Hi all,

Python is fairly new to NetBeans IDE. We've already got three tutorials and we're still in the Early Access (EA) stage of development. As more Python stuff is added (e.g. Django and Tkinter), we'll work on getting more tutorials out there for all to use and enjoy. This is what we have so far:

• Introduction to Python EA in NetBeans IDE. This document provides an introduction to programming with the Python programming language in NetBeans IDE. Python is a very popular general-purpose high-level programming language with a design philosophy that emphasizes programmer productivity and code readability. This tutorial demonstrates how features of the NetBeans IDE can best benefit the Python programmer. Each section of the tutorial demonstrates usages of Python and identifies in the IDE features that can be used with Python programming. This tutorial is not intended to teach the Python programming language, but rather demonstrate how the NetBeans IDE can be used with Python-based applications.
• Developing a Jython Application Using NetBeans IDE. Submitted bu Josh Juneau, this document provides instructions for developing a Jython application using the Python plugin available in the NetBeans IDE. The tutorial shows you how to configure your Python installation by setting up both Python and Jython paths and manipulating module locations. This tutorial is not intended to teach the Python/Jython programming language, but rather demonstrate how the NetBeans IDE can be used with Python/Jython-based applications.
• Developing a Python Application Using NetBeans IDE. Submitted by Josh Juneau, this tutorial is designed to show you the basics of using NetBeans IDE with the Python programming language. and so that they can begin to explore it's possibilities. With it's added support for various JVM and non-JVM languages, Netbeans 6.5 opens new doors to programmers, giving them an easy-to-use environment for developing in many different languages including Python. Throughout this tutorial, you will be developing a small application (hockeyRoster.py) from the ground up. You will develop an application to contain and manage a sports team.

Cheers!
