At this point in my career, I’m pretty much a total nerd – I write .NET or Python code everyday and the only maps I make anymore are all rendered in a web browser with some pretty sweet technologies. However, here’s some other stuff of mine to waste your time on:

    Chad,

    I’m a newcomer to Python and found your “Tapping into Python” article extremely helpful. I’ve been struggling with how to download files automatically and the like, and the examples you provided are just incredible. Concise, exact, perfectly suited to the task. Thank you!

    Now if I can just figure out how to get data into the sqlite3 database I’ll be golden. Any suggestions?

    I’d love to be able to download a file with a header (can do – thanks to your article) and port that file into a db with the txt-file header supplying the db header and put the rows from the txt-file (which are comma-separated, but the length of text between the commas are not standard…) into the dynamically generated db…

    BTW, I’m just up the road near Searcy. I’m not a programmer by training or trade. I’m a musician, teacher, producer who has a passion for ministering to the religious needs of inmates at Varner and Cummins. Programming in the sense of Python is pretty “off the reservation” for me…

    Your insights that Python is easy for those of us that “have virtually no programming experience” and that “Python can do anything” give me great hope!! I hope to see another article (or 6 or 20) from you in the near future. Your writing style is very comfortable, kind, and helpful. Of all the things I’ve tried to read on programming in Python, your single article was easiest to understand and hands-down most helpful.

    Thanks again – Jeff Kreh
