so, where can i learn python for beginners? and is it free, and also how can i install win32gui or whatever to start using pyaudiogame.

There was a big list with resources where you can learn programming on audiogames forum in developers room. Sticky: List of resources for programmers, developers, and more. Try to look there. I think that you can find free books, as well as paid ones.

Nathan Tech has a free course. I don't know how useful it is as I didn't learn very much going through it.

I found it not very useful. If I remember correctly, he was just talking about basic concepts but there was no exersyse or whatever.

The most unuseful course is when people do it in audio. I mean the explanations are fine, but this kind of teaching is so much one sided that after a while you'll just become bored, even if the subject interests you.

There is also 3Schools. They've got very streight forward tutorials of the key elements that you will be dealing with most of the time.
Also, python has been very mainstream for a while now, which means google is your friend in most circumstances where you are trying to figure out something.

What I noticed was that he loaded a bunch of modules and made calls to them in various ways. I guess that's Python is about, modules. Just my none-too-knoledgeable conclusion.
#8 GamerKid
how do you install the win32gui though?
#9 nikolai
hold up, are you trying to use pyaudiogame and getting an error?
#10 GamerKid
yes
#11 nikolai
Can you send us the error so we know exactly what's going wrong?
#12 GamerKid
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32gui'
#13 bloodstorm
Write to cmd "pip install win32gui" and try to execute your code

Sorry for double posting. But to prevent questions, write the command without quotes.

pythoners: pip is the best. rusters: really? what about cargo?
#16 GamerKid
it says pip isn't a valid command even though i havge it installed.
#17 nikolai
How did you install python, exactly?
#18 bomberman29
py -m pip install packagename

First of all, man, find the tutorials for beginners and learn from those: if/else statements, loops, varebles, then oop, like that you will get understanding from the beginning, and only then try to install those libraries, cause installing them is really easier process than using them in an actual code. Just my suggestion. HTH
