Surprise! You've crossed over into a New Phase of Growth

 

By "You've crossed" in the title, I actually mean I have crossed and am genuinely surprised by it.

Lately, I have been incorporating TTS (Text To Speech) into my lesson plan project.

In the past, any time I add a new major function such as this, I get a ton of errors when first re-launching the project. And it takes forever to isolate the problems and figure out how to fix them.

This time however, other than a few undefined variable errors; it all ran on almost first try. The automated speeches for the lesson points ran right away. Shock and awe.

I take it to mean that I've crossed over to a new phase of tackling my growth in Python comprehension.

Don't get me wrong. I've still got miles to go.
There are dozens of additional areas for me to conquer in Python beyond modules, packages, decorators and such (especially OOPs). But still. The fact that I am more organized by segregating my operations into different modules and developing new software in so-called Scratch files that I include as asides in the same VENV folder as my main project changes the speed at which I can advance.

More to follow?

BEFORE you even begin to worry about learning all of the OVERWHELMING amount of information you plan to plant into your brain ...

Welcome to Circular Import Hell

Image
 I'd seen rumors of it. Didn't think it could happen to me. Hey, I'm just a beginner/noob Python coder; still not grokking much of it in my nascent and evolving cusp state, Those alleged "circular import" lock ups should happen only to them guru coding experts who are trying to be too clever by a half! Not me. Not yet. (Right?) At first my computer would just freeze up. The cursor stopped moving. I couldn't do anything but shut off the power and boot up again. I worried that PyCharm or Python 3.13.5 had permanently damaged my computer! After many a failed runs and reboots, I managed to move some of the modular code around such that I got a bunch of error messages in the PyCharm console area. It said something about a particular variable not being defined. I looked in my code. Damn it. It is defined. Right there. Very infuriating. Some deep breathes and I re-read the error traceback messages more carefully. Somethingabout this probably being a "circular i...
