Ugh my spotted python bit me today. Hes my first snake and I feel bad he’s getting all my newbie mistakes but he’s done really well with handling and this is the first time I just don’t know what happened? I know they don’t bite out of the blue but I had taken him outside and he was very relaxed in my arms with his head on my shoulder, I stepped off the porch so he could feel some sun and made sure to keep his head in the shade and after a few seconds he moves around to the front of me and just slams my lip. Obviously it’s not bad I’m just so frustrated and feel like every step forward has like three back. And maybe he just doesn’t want to be handled that would be ok but he seems so good and happy to explore most of the time. I have looked into choice based handling but he never wants to wake up and come out of his hides during the day but he always is relaxed once he is out.

Aw, I'm so sorry you got tagged. That sounds like it was really jarring. Please don't be discouraged, though. Snake keeping is a journey, not a destination, and though it may feel like you're not making good progress, every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow with your pet.

Spotted pythons are nocturnal, so he may have been startled by the sudden sunshine and warmth and either mistook you for a predator or a snack. Bites are disheartening (and a bite in the face doubly so!) but it's part of snake ownership. We will all take a chomp at some point.

I once had my leucistic Texas rat snake on my lap while I was reading and I guess he fell asleep at some point, and when I moved my arm I must have startled him awake because he freaked out and tagged me out of nowhere. I was shocked and a bit hurt in the moment, and I totally get how you're feeling. It's nobody's fault. These are animals and sometimes they react to stimuli we think are pretty benign in ways we didn't expect!

If you're going to implement choice-based handing, it'll likely only happen after the sun has gone down. It might be good to try to interact on his terms for a while, as late in the day as you can and in low-light situations. He's less likely to be a butt if he's up and active during the part of his natural rhythm when he's most alert.

I mean, imagine having somebody pull you out of bed at 3am and shine a flashlight with the power of the sun at you. Even if it wasn't right in your eyes, you might be a touch irritable!

I hope that the two of you can find some common ground and that you are able to build more confidence as a keeper. Forgive yourself when you make mistakes, as you so quickly forgave him when he bit you. I know spotted pythons are considered a decent beginner species but I've definitely found them more challenging than some of the other options.

At the end of the day you're just two completely different animals trying to understand each other, and that's pretty cool.

brooooo does anyone know java or python bc im taking some virtual high school classes rn and im following along and dont understand shit and google is unhelpful bc everything i find is a paragraph of technobabble with no dictionary at the bottom, a subreddit full of the meanest old assholes that i never want to interact with especially about beginners stuff bc their advice seems to boil down to "yeah youll figure it out lol" or literal insults???, or a youtube channel that works for one thing but skips the next section that i ALSO need help with

[unwelcome-ozian]

Could you tell me about python programming? It popped into my head soon after I realized I was programmed and it’s been a month and I’m not sure what’s going on anymore. Any explanation would be helpful

Python Programming- Is used to distract the alter by leading to feelings of being crushed, suffocated, or strangled. 

Type 2 Python Programming-Belief in divination. (Spiritual Programming)

Type 3 Python Programming-The belief that a part is a “python spirit” and gathers information about believers and uses the information to call other demons to attack people or churches. The function of the “spirit of python” as held by one group may overlap that of other groups, which may be called Leviathan, Kundalini, or “water spirits.”  (Spiritual Programming)

ooooh glance canvas and day for caden’s white surferboy aesthetic 👀

go whiteboy[gn] go

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

hmmm, id say its their eyes! they have green eyes leftover from the void blood, theyre pretty dark though. either that or the scars, they have a lot of little ones from heartbreak. im debating whether or not to make them cover those up though

canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?

as per all steps: yes they do have tattoos. and scars. lots of them. im a bit torn on the piercings, i can see them with no piercings or tongue, earring and nose piercings. so basically either all or none of them lol. the tattoos are a hard yes, the scars im not sure of yet

EDIT: I FORGOT DAY LMFAO

day: What does your OC wear on a normal day? Why do they default to those clothes? Do they wear similar things, or do they change it up?

a grey turtleneck under green flannel and jeans, plus a necklace. they dress rather casual, they like looking good but the prioritize comfort and maneuverability most of all(just in case). as for the necklace: i have no origin story yet, but i suspect it has something to do with ortega lol. they dont mind switching it up!

[the-whispers-of-death]

Hello hello! sorry for bothering you (•́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀)

But can i ask something, what does your cod ocs think/thought about my oc(Liutenant Doberman)

And anyways LOVE YOUR WORK

❤️❤️(⁠´⁠∩⁠｡⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠｡⁠∩⁠`⁠)❤️❤️

Aww, thank you for the kind words!

Stone, Python, and Death are paranoid at first, as they always are. However, they all really value loyalty and honesty. Stone and Death hate lying in particular, so to know that Doberman is loyal, that helps soothe their paranoia towards him.

Kali, Sarabi, and Heartthrob like calm people, it's their bread and butter. And Doberman's intimidating demeanor won't turn them away, they've endeared themselves to Stone after all. They see a refreshing challenge.

Nala is of course skeptical once Doberman and Simba start interacting together, Nala always so protective over his best friend. But he sees how well Doberman acts with Simba, so he eventually just thinks Doberman's okay. That's the best you can get when it comes to his protectiveness over Simba.

Simba likes how intelligent Doberman is, because of course he does. Simba is intelligent himself, so even if their intelligence isn't the same (Simba is a self-proclaimed math prodigy), he'll still enjoy being around Doberman.

Ladder thinks Doberman's cool and she admires how well he can adapt to changes. She's seen plenty of soldiers act childish when it comes to her implementing new technology, so this will be a breath of fresh air. Besides, no one can resist her when she's so warm and bubbly. (Just watch out, because she can surely pack a punch despite her height and bubbly demeanor.)

Cerberus is definitely wary, also due to his paranoia. But he sees how well Sarabi took to Doberman, so he's quicker than the others to accept Doberman. But he is rather reserved and he'd definitely be very intimidated by Doberman. It'll be fine though, he's usually like this.

Hellstorm, in true Hellstorm fashion, acts indifferent to Doberman at first. He's not one to get attached to people, so he just doesn't interact with Doberman for the majority of the time. But if Doberman can keep him in the same room, Hellstorm may warm up to him.

real ones unroll appimages and then build only the actual program themselves

one thing that gets me on certain open source projects is when they think the only reason someone might be building from source is because they want to contribute. how have you gotten this far into running open source projects without meeting this type of linux user?

like there was one python utility i wanted to build from source cuz the version in the debian repo didn't have some features i wanted but the instructions heavily assumed you like, are used to python dev environments, but python induces a certain type of rage in me if I have to actually write any code in it for very long so i am. not. like why do i gotta learn things about python, write a better readme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roxannepolice]

Unpopular opinion, but haters (of texts! not performers or creators) actually fulfill an important role in the fandom ecosystem. They're the headsmen of medieval villages. Shunned, understandably but hypocritically, by society (really, headsmen usually lived outside of the walls, the job was passed within the family because no one would willingly take it, and the only shot at marriage were sentenced criminals) but every now and then called up to perform the dirty job no one else would while the crowd pours out all of their darkest instincts at the person about to die so they can feel the social structure reinforced and go back to their lives in blissful hypocrisy while the headsman goes back to running a brothel.

Of course, in a medieval society the enlightened me would be a plucky townsgirl posing as a boy so she can join the university and above such vulgar crowdthink. So it stands to reason watching a man scream and curse about an episode I believe deserves more criticism genuinely lightened the pressure on my chest and I can now go back to enjoying the stuff I like.

It's possible no one will ever tell you that, haters, but so long as your rants are about the text not the people and you tag them appropriately - you are recognised.

What was the last movie you watched, which blorbo would you want to hang out with for a day, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Good morning/good afternoon/good night!

1.) Last film I technically watched: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead ('91), but if we count "skipping around looking for scenes with one specific actor" as "watching" then it would be Lovelife ('97).

2.) I was gonna put some actual deliberation into this, but I mean- I'd still go with the same person, and that would absolutely be Dan Rydell. He runs on a very specific wave of chaos and cultural appreciation, and I just know we would vibe. I'd appreciate your New York Renaissance, dude. I'd help you antagonize people, too. <3

3.) Well that depends on what you mean. Are we talking about an African or European swallow?

Thanks for the asks, luv!

#the chances of the bugs being in your broccoli are small#but never zero#could be worse though; could be stabbed#or lose a finger or a toe and not be able to find it#nothing is scarier than losing a body part and hoping the dog didn’t bring it outside to play with#potentially alerting your friends and neighbors or police#it gets really awkward when they think you’ve killed someone only to find out that no you didn’t#you’ve just succeeded at growing extra body parts in your lab at home in case you ever need a replacement#though you can’t get the reattaching them down yet so is there really a point to it all?

Basic Python Interview Questions and Answers

We're diving into the interview arena! First stop: basic Python. Brush up on your core concepts like data types, loops, functions, and more. We'll explore common interview questions and guide you towards clear, confident answers to impress the interviewer and land the Python job you deserve.

Q1. What Are the Different Data Types in Python?

Python offers various data types, including integers (int), floats (float), strings (str), booleans (bool), lists (list), tuples (tuple), dictionaries (dict), and sets (set).

Q2. Explain The Difference Between Lists and Tuples.

Lists are mutable, meaning their contents can be changed after creation. Tuples are immutable, meaning their elements cannot be modified once defined.

Q3. How Do You Define a Function in Python?

You can define a function using the def keyword, followed by the function name, parameters (if any), and a colon. The function body is indented after the colon.

Q4. What Is a Loop in Python? Explain Two Types.

A loop is a control flow statement that allows you to execute a block of code repeatedly. Two common loop types are:

for loop: Iterates over a sequence (list, tuple, string)

while loop: Executes code as long as a condition is true.

Q5. How Do You Handle Exceptions in Python?

Python's try-except block allows you to gracefully handle errors (exceptions) that might occur during program execution.

Intermediate Python Interview Questions and Answers

Level up your Python interview prep! This section dives into intermediate-level questions commonly asked by interviewers. We'll explore data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming concepts, and more. Equip yourself to showcase your problem-solving skills and land that dream Python job.

Q1. Explain The Concept of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python.

OOP allows you to create classes, which act as blueprints for objects. Objects have attributes (data) and methods (functions) that operate on the data.

Q2. What Are Decorators in Python, And How Are They Used?

Decorators are a design pattern that allows you to modify the behaviour of functions or classes without altering their original code.

Q3. How Do You Work with Files in Python (Reading and Writing)?

Python provides built-in functions like open(), read(), and write() to open, read from, and write to files.

Q4. Explain The Concept of Iterators and Generators in Python.

Iterators provide a way to access elements of a collection one at a time. Generators are a special type of iterator that generates elements lazily, saving memory.

Q5. What is the Global Interpreter Lock (Gil) In Python, and How Does it Affect Multithreading?

The GIL limits Python to running only one thread at a time in the CPU. This can affect multithreading performance, as threads need to wait for the GIL to be released.

Advanced Python Interview Questions and Answers

Level up your Python interview prep! Dive into the advanced section, where we tackle intricate concepts like time and space complexity, explore design patterns, and delve into unit testing. Sharpen your skills on advanced topics to impress interviewers and showcase your mastery of Python's true power.

Q1. Explain the Difference Between Time Complexity and Space Complexity in Algorithms.

Time complexity measures the execution time of an algorithm based on input size. Space complexity measures the memory usage of an algorithm as the input size grows.

Q2. What Is a Lambda Function in Python, And How Is It Used?

Lambda functions are anonymous functions defined using the lambda keyword. They are useful for short, one-line functions.

Q3. Explain How Context Managers Are Used in Python with The with Statement.

Context managers allow you to handle resources like files or network connections efficiently. The with statement ensures proper resource cleanup even if exceptions occur.

Q4. Describe Common Design Patterns Used in Python Object-Oriented Programming.

Some common design patterns include:

Singleton: Ensures only one instance of a class exists.

Factory Method: Creates objects without specifying the exact class.

Observer Pattern: Allows objects to subscribe to changes in other objects.

Q5. How Can You Unit Test Your Python Code?

Python offers frameworks like unittest and pytest to write unit tests that verify the functionality of individual code units.

Python Data Structures and Algorithms Questions

Now that you've grasped the fundamentals, let's dive deeper! This section tackles Python Data Structures and Algorithms, a core aspect of Python interviews. We'll explore questions on arrays, linked lists, sorting algorithms, and more. Get ready to strengthen your problem-solving skills and impress your interviewer!

Q1. Explain The Difference Between a Linked List and An Array.

Arrays are indexed collections with random access. Linked lists are linear data structures where each element points to the next. Arrays offer faster random access, while linked lists are more efficient for insertions and deletions.

Q2. How Would You Implement a Binary Search Algorithm in Python?

Binary search is a search algorithm that repeatedly divides the search space in half until the target element is found. You can implement it using recursion or a loop.

Q3. Explain The Concept of Hashing and How It's Used in Hash Tables.

Hashing is a technique for converting a key into a unique index (hash value) for faster retrieval in a hash table. Hash tables are efficient for lookups based on keys.

Q4. Describe The Time and Space Complexity of Sorting Algorithms Like Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, And Merge Sort.

Be prepared to discuss the efficiency (time and space complexity) of various sorting algorithms like bubble sort (O(n^2) time), insertion sort (O(n^2) worst-case time, O(n) best-case time), and merge sort (O(n log n) time, O(n) space).

Q5. How Would You Approach the Problem of Finding The Shortest Path In A Graph?

Algorithms like Dijkstra's algorithm can be used to find the shortest path between two nodes in a weighted graph. Be prepared to explain the concept and its applications.

Python Libraries and Frameworks Questions

This section dives into interview questions that explore your knowledge of popular tools like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Django, and more. Get ready to showcase your expertise in data manipulation, visualisation, and web development using Python's rich ecosystem.

NumPy provides powerful arrays and mathematical functions for efficient numerical computations.

Q2. Describe The Functionalities of The Pandas Library for Data Analysis.

Pandas offers high-performance data structures like DataFrames and Series for data manipulation, analysis, and cleaning.

Q3. How Would You Use Matplotlib or Seaborn to Create Data Visualizations in Python?

Matplotlib is a fundamental library for creating static, customizable visualizations. Seaborn, built on top of Matplotlib, provides a high-level interface for creating statistical graphics.

Q4. Explain The Concept of Web Frameworks Like Django or Flask in Python.

Django and Flask are popular web frameworks that simplify web development tasks like routing, database interaction, and templating.

Q5. Have You Used Any Machine Learning Libraries Like Scikit-Learn? Briefly Describe Their Functionalities.

Scikit-learn provides a comprehensive suite of tools and algorithms for machine learning tasks like classification, regression, and clustering.

Behavioural and Situational Questions

Beyond technical skills, interviews assess your approach to challenges and how you fit within a team. Dive into behavioural and situational questions to understand how to showcase your problem-solving, communication, and teamwork capabilities, leaving a lasting impression on your interviewer.

1. Describe a time you faced a challenging coding problem. How did you approach it?

Example Answer: "During a previous internship, I encountered an unexpected error in my code that prevented a key function from working. I started by isolating the problematic section using print statements and debugging tools. Then, I researched similar errors online and consulted with a senior developer on my team. Together, we identified the issue and implemented a fix that resolved the problem and ensured the code functioned as intended."

2. How do you handle working on a project with tight deadlines?

Example Answer: "I prioritise effectively by breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps. I utilise project management tools to track progress and deadlines. Additionally, I communicate openly with my team members to ensure everyone is aware of their deliverables and any potential roadblocks. This allows for proactive problem-solving and course correction if needed to meet the deadline."

3. Explain how you would approach debugging a complex error in your code.

Example Answer "My debugging strategy involves a systematic approach. First, I carefully analyse the error message to understand its nature. Then, I utilise print statements and a debugger to isolate the problematic section of code. I review the surrounding lines for logic errors or syntax mistakes. Additionally, I leverage online resources and consult with colleagues for alternative solutions. This collaborative approach helps me identify and fix the error efficiently."

4. How do you stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Python and its ecosystem?

Example Answer "I'm passionate about continuous learning. I actively follow Python blogs and documentation to stay informed about new libraries and frameworks.

Additionally, I participate in online communities and forums where developers discuss best practices and share solutions. I also consider contributing to open-source projects to gain practical experience with the latest advancements."

5. Do you have any questions for us? (This is a question you ask the interviewer)

Always have prepared questions! This demonstrates your interest in the company, role, and team culture. Ask about specific projects, challenges you'd be tackling, opportunities for growth within the position, and the team structure.
