This tutorial is not complete. It still needs:

• replacement for the thinkpython linking file

  • what is a type and why it matters
    • also add type() calls to other places, especially when introducing tuples (thanks kodec), functions and modules
  • 3.14 and '3.14'
  • # 'hello' and '# hello'

• range somewhere

• More exercises and examples everywhere!

  • especially "fix this" exercises

• classes part 1:

    <deniska> Akuli: I would probably add an example of refactoring
              a bunch of functions working with shared global data
              into a class because it's a pretty typical usecase
  

• classes part 2

  • non-public _variables
  • "singular" inheritance, inheritance of built-in classes
  • using super
  • advise to avoid multiple inheritance

• last chapter: "What should I do now?" links to other resources

  • first of all: read zen and pep8
    • explanation of the zen, especially the "one right way" myth
  • GUI programming tutorials
    • easygui
    • tkinter in effbot (warn the readers about star imports)
    • pyqt5 in zetcode (warn about mixedCase)
    • gtk+ 3 in readthedocs
  • a pygame tutorial
  • David Beazley's metaprogramming and other talks
  • "What the heck is this?" section for stuff i haven't talked about
    • regexes

• add a screenshot about geany's running settings to basics/editor-setup.md
