Week of 12/07/14 - Python Part 14: More Learning

     Okay, so what I've been doing since Tuesday has been trying to install Python on the Mac that I use in class without having an administrator account or root access. This went as well as I thought, meaning that I couldn't get it to install. I looked up many help articles as well, but they were of no help. I then considered booting into Linux, editing the sudoers file from there, and then using sudo to install Python from OSX, but then I realized how involved that process would be and how close midterms are. So then I decided to use an online interpreter instead. I went with codingground by tutorialspoint because of its editor, ability to use cloud storage like Dropbox and Google Drive.
    What I decided to do for a final is a game of tic-tac-toe. What I will do on Monday will be to catch up on how to make a game from the codeacademy battleship course and review how to manipulate lists, do while-loops, and importing functions.

Would brackets do what you need? I haven't tried using Python in it, but it is suppose to support it. We use it in the web design class for html, css, and javascript (and its free).
