Regarding an earlier email about some confusing parts of the
livewires tutorial, I have succesfully configured my computer to do
what they ask.
>>>from livewires import * - This means that they made some
functions to make learning python easier, and when you type this into
your editor, it makes the editor look for a folder called livewires
and inside it it looks for a specific file (hence the *, which refers
to some file).
But the confusing part was that the livewires folder is online, and
you have to download it. It i in a tar.gz compression format, which
should be handled by winzip I think.
The download is called "the livewires package" (not the pdf's. i.e.
the tutorial itself) This folder contains a folder called livewires.
Just copy the folder, go to the folder where your python editor is, and
If you are on a mac, look for a folder called site-packages. this
folder is where you put the livewires folder, because it is the
folder where the editor looks when you type "import" in the editor
If you are on windows, The livewires folder probably just goes in the
same folder as the editor itself, unless you see a folder called site-
packages.
You should be set with their stuff now.
Just go into your editor and type
>>>from livewires import *
If it returns ">>>" on a new line, congrats. It found the file
If it doesn't, then the livewires folder is not in the correct
folder. Just try around until you find the right place for it.
If this is confusing, just email me, Taylor, at tsgoldsun1 at gmail.com
and i will walk you through it.
