  • I am no expert, but I have used Python in a professional environment, and helped on board a Python newbie to build out his first project.

    It would be helpful to know what your environment looks like (what OS you are running, Python version, terminal interface – are you running cmd, powershell, terminal) and which steps prompts the reported error messages.

    Starting from the first time running Python using a Windows computer, the first steps should be

    Launch Powershell as admin and type in the following commands:

    set-executionpolicy remotesigned

    winget install python

    mkdir python

    cd python

    python -m venv scraper

    .\scraper\Scripts\activate

    Following that you should be able to use pip to install more modules or packages. I have Visual Studio Code as my IDE, and that means from there I can also run code to open the text editor to write whatever code I intend to run. Be sure to save it to C:\Users\youruseraccount\python If your scripts are saved to that folder, you can run them from powershell by just typing in their filename. Any time you run scripts, open powershell and type cd python and then .\scraper\Scripts\activate Hit enter, then type in the name of the script you want to run.

    This information dump is not the most detailed, but it should get you to the point that you can run your scripts.


  • I think the Zelda Oracle games were pretty rad. Easy games to play, and for the truly committed you had cross progression between the two games to complete quests across Seasons and Ages. The two games had completely different maps and dungeons to explore with different items in each. They were a dual release that weren’t just the same maps with slightly reshuffled enemies like the Pokémon games were. I remember trading my copy of Seasons to my friend for his copy of Ages and then checking in with each other to see where we were and if either of us had discovered any secrets that we hadn’t found in our respective playthrough.
