learn-python's Issues

Add new section for requests library

I'm writing to suggest a valuable addition to this excellent open-source Python book: a section dedicated to the requests library.
The requests library is a powerful and versatile tool for making HTTP requests in Python, simplifying web interactions and data retrieval from web APIs. Its inclusion would significantly enhance the book's coverage of web development and data manipulation capabilities.
I wish to cover the following concepts of the requests library:

• Introduction to requests library and how to install it using pip.
• Making GET Requests: Demonstrate fetching data from web servers using basic GET requests.
• Handling Responses: Show how to extract data from the response object, including status codes, headers, and content.
• Authentication: Discuss basic authentication techniques for web APIs.
• Error Handling: Guide users on handling potential errors and exceptions during requests.
• If required I can even explain about how to handle responses received as a JSON object using the json standard library.

I am a GSSoC'24 contributor. Kindly assign me this issue and It'll make a great addition to the book and encourage learners to interact with APIs and build amazing new projects for the tech community.

Conditional statements

In the introductory part of conditional statements elif keyword is not included at all . But at later part in flowcharts and examples its included. So I request you to grant the permission to include details about elif keyword in introductory part also.

Adding 'Where to go from here' section at the end

This section would include the steps or the scope which the user can have after learning Python language.

• Future Scopes
• Trending technologies
• Opportunities
• Future plans, etc

@animator I would love to work on this addition so Can you please assign me this issue under GSSoC'24.

Thank You!

Fix internal links styling in 'learn-python' web interface

Hi there,

I noticed an issue regarding the behavior of internal links in the 'learn-python' web interface. It seems like the links are displaying differently from the desired behavior. The following behavior is occurring:

1. The font-color of the links is the same as that of the rest of the document.
2. The underlined links are being normal styled when the curser hover over them.
   I have attached the following image regarding the issue:

Light Mode

Dark Mode:

I suggest that:

1. By default the color of the hyperlinks be blue, and when we hover over them, it becomes the same color as the rest of the text.
2. The hyperlinks be underlined, only when the cursor hover over them
   Like in this image:

Light Mode:

Daek Mode:

Note:

In all the four Screenshot, the cursor was over "Introduction to Programming Languages"
I left the color of hyperlinks in the side menu as it is, but I can surely change it, if you deem so.

Since the issue can now be addressed by me, could you please assign me this issue under GSSoC? If there are any further changes required or if you need additional information, please feel free to let me know. I'm here to help!

add me to the project please ,in contributor GSSoC24

I want to work on loops, tables, lists, on Numpy and on matplotlib

Please assign me this issue with the GSSOC'24 tag.

Introduction to ASCII values

I feel like we should include the concept of ASCII values so that learners can get the difference between "apple" and "Apple" or other examples of similar kind.

OOPs is not discussed

I would like to add some sections to explain OOPs as object-oriented programming is a very crucial part in Python and I will try to add some exercises for OOPs
please assign this issue under gssoc 2024

Add Topics

In GSSoC'24, GitHub Topics will help the discoverability of your project.

I see that you already have great topics on your repository!
I would recommend adding the name of the company like the software you use to build like "vs-code, ghdesktop" to improve your discoverability.

If you are happy with the topics you have, feel free to close this issue. 👍

Add templates for issues

Issue templates are very helpful for a collaboration repo. When users identify a bug or want to add a new feature, you can provide templates so you can collect all the pertinent information you need to fix a bug or add a new feature.

We recommend creating a “Report Bug” and “Feature Request” issue template.
you can refer this: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository

Some suggested prompts/questions you can add to a “Report Bug” template are:

Briefly describe the bug
What is the expected behavior?
Please provide step by step instructions on how to reproduce the bug
Some suggested prompts/questions you can add to a “Feature Request” issue template are:

Briefly describe your feature request
What problem is this feature trying to solve?
How do we know when the feature is complete?

Reference: https://github.com/Recode-Hive/Stackoverflow-Analysis/issues/new/choose
Click on Get Started button and copy the template to yours.

Concept of Nested Tuples

I feel it would be beneficial to provide further clarification on the concept of nested tuples, including additional examples, and how we can access nested tuples using loops.

Adding light and dark mode theme option

Only dark theme is present but no light theme.

Light mode is important because it provides a traditional, well-lit interface that enhances readability, reduces eye strain in well-lit environments, and maintains visual consistency with many other digital platforms.

New Features in file handling

I want to add "working with excel file" and inter conversion between excel and csv files

Feature : Interactive Exercises

Integrating interactive coding exercises or quizzes throughout the book would reinforce learning and engage readers.

I hope you will assign the issue to me.
thank you

Improve CLarity and quality of the content!

I’ve been going through the comprehensive guide on Python 3 and found it to be very informative and well-structured.
Additionally, I’ve noticed a few areas in the existing content where the language could be clarified or improved. For instance, the phrase “Please search issues and pull requests before adding something new to avoid duplicating efforts and conversations” could be rephrased for clarity as “Before adding something new, please search through existing issues and pull requests to avoid duplicating efforts and discussions”.
I’d be happy to contribute this content if you think it would be beneficial. Looking forward to your feedback.

Adding Summary and Key points after every Chapter

Summarising the content chapter wise can help readers to revise important topics at a glance.

Please assign me this task under GSSOC'24.

Additional Topics for Enhanced Understanding of Python

I believe we can make the content even more comprehensive by including additional topics that will greatly enhance the reader's understanding of Python programming.
Here are the suggested topics:

Functional Programming:
Lambda functions
Higher-order functions
map, filter, and reduce functions
List comprehensions and generator expressions

Decorators and Generators:
Creating and using decorators
Decorator chaining and application scenarios
Understanding generator functions and the yield keyword
Lazy evaluation and memory optimization with generators

Concurrency and Parallelism:
Threading vs. multiprocessing
Concurrent programming with the threading module
Parallelism with the multiprocessing module
Synchronization and thread safety

[Feature]: I think we should also add some Data Science and Machine Learning libraries content.

I can make content for it in a simple and easy way.
Learners can easily understand it

adding a search bar at the top can let the learner search for a particular topic. I will help adding this new feature.

Designing the website & adding new features

I can make this website more insightful and interactive and also add some feature such as adding copy feature in the code snippet and many more.
Please assign this issue to me under GSSoC'24.

Learn.md

Learn repos should have a LEARN.md file to teach student how to build your project step by step. You can explain how to build your project with text, code snippets, images, or even short (5 minute) long video lessons. As the maintainer of a Learn repo, the LEARN.md file requires you to think critically about how to explain the building of your project and how to also make it engaging. We don't expect you to be an expert teacher, but we would like you to reflect on how difficult it was to get to your level of knowledge, and then provide friendly guidance to help other students to learn.

Reference: https://github.com/Recode-Hive/Stackoverflow-Analysis/blob/main/Learn.md

Add Code of Conduct

Lambda Function

I wanna add a new section on Lambda Functions to the Functions topic. This section will cover the concept of lambda functions, their syntax, use cases, and advantages. Additionally, I will include illustrative examples and flow charts to make it crystal clear.

Add issues

As the maintainer of a Collaborate repo, keeping Issues up-to-date will help the student community understand what they can do to contribute. Issues should vary by the easy (update documentation) to the difficult (add a new feature). The more involved you are, the more opportunities there are to collaborate.

Recommendations:

Add issues of varying difficulty to the repo often. you can add the tag GSSoC'24, Girlscript, good first issue etc.
Try to add some documentation issues as well it would be easy for beginner contributor to explore opensource through your repo.
Generate issues even if you plan on solving them, so the repository appears as active.
Contribute/commit often to the repo so it does not go stale.
