Ubuntu
soundconverter package

SoundConverter written in Python 2 or Python 3

Asked by Nastrafireblaze

I really would like to tinker with an open source program. So I've decided (again) to try and actually learn a programming language in my spare time (which I have little of). Though, I wanted to know should I try to learn Python 2.5 or should I just jump onto Python 3 if I wanted to tinker with SoundConverter? Also, how hard do you think it will be to learn the working of this program. Thanks

soundconverter depends upon python-gtk2, which in turn depends upon : python (< 2.7), python (>= 2.5)

you could see this with

aptitude show soundconvertor
aptitude show python-gtk2

As for your second question, I would not attempt to modify someone else's program unless you have a reasonable grounding in that language -- it would be quite difficult otherwise.

You are practising up to three different skills:
1) Learning a programming language (if you do not know one already)
2) learning a new programming language (if you don't know python already)
3) Learning to decipher someone elses thought processes from their code.

Not at a linux box for quite sometime today.
So, Thanks
