Python Tutorial Overview
Click the Align button in Komodo's Help Browser to
resize the Komodo workspace and the Help Browser for side-by-side viewing.
This tutorial assumes...
- ...that you are running the tutorial locally from within the Komodo
Help Browser. While it can be read online, the interactive functions
(such as resizing the workspace and creating sample projects) are only
accessible within the Komodo Help Browser.
- ...that ActivePython
2.0 or greater is installed on your system. ActivePython is a free
distribution of the core Python language. See Komodo's Installation
Guide for configuration instructions.
- ...that you have a connection to the internet.
- ...that you are interested in Python. You don't need to have previous knowledge of
Python; the tutorial will walk you through a simple program and suggest some
resources for further information.

In this tutorial, you will use a Python program that searches the O'Reilly Meerkat website
for a list of categories, and then generates the list as HTML output. You will:
- Use the Python Package
Manager (PyPPM) to install a Python module (xmlrpclib) that contains code
for using Web services.
- Open the Python Tutorial Project
and associated files.
- Analyze xmlrpcdemo.py
the Python program included in the Tutorial Project.
- Generate output
by running the program.
- Debug the program
using the Komodo debugger.
