[Tutor] Running and passing variables to/from Fortran

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Simple is the wrong idea. But I'd guess that you can access your Fortan from C. If so, Pyrex provides a C-for-Python-coder tool. OTOH, just reading the stuff in Python might be simpler than doing all the interfacing. (I presume that you are just readin

[Tutor] when to introduce classes

Hi All, I am wondering when is a good time to introduce classes into a python program. Is there any rule of thumb as to when they are necessary, and when it is okay to just stick with regular functions and variables? I.e. you have self defined methods and data working on the same type of task? T

Hello Everyone, Quick question ... I've got an old Toshiba Satellite 110CT laptop with Windows 95 installed on it. It's got 40 MB of RAM and a 3 GB hard drive. Would I be able to run Python on it? If so, what version of Python should I install? I've tried installing Python 2.5 on it
