The Python language #

Python is considered one of, if not the most suitable language for beginners. This doesn’t mean, however, that it’s confined to the educational sector. It’s one of the most widely used languages for professional use by people who don’t do computers for a living.

For the documentation : https://docs.python.org/.

The online demonstrations are based on a slightly modified version of the Python version of the Atlas toolkit. All the methods of the first parameter (usually named dom) of the callbacks given to the launch(…) function are coroutines so they have to be called with await, hence if a function calls one of this method it has to be prefixed with async (async def …).

Take attention that expressions like:

name = await dom.getValue("Name").strip()

are wrong as the await is applied to the result of the strip() function, and have to be write this way:

name = (await dom.getValue("Name")).strip()

so the strip() function is applied to the result of the call of the getValue(…) coroutine after being completed.
