Python Help
5 comments
HN is probably not the right place to ask for help.
When you do ask for help, it's always best to explain what you have figured out and what still confuses you. Explain how you think the program ought to work. Pointing us to a programming class assignment page is not an effective way to help you figure things out. Trying to figure it out on your own and asking specific questions will be much more effective.
You might find it useful to begin by writing the various modules of the assignment in outline form with some documentation of interfaces and functionality. Writing a coherent description of what's needed can be very helpful.
Be sure that you understand about how clients and servers work. Take a look at the python library, which has a number of different servers, for examples.

No offense. But what YOU are looking for is pretty vague. To me, this looks like you're looking for someone to do your homework. What were you doing for the other 2-weeks allocated to this project?
"You get one week to do each of projects 1, 2, and 4, but you get 2 weeks to do each of projects 3 and 5 as they represent more work and are worth double credit."
If you're looking for _assistance_ in understanding core concepts, I would recommend:
Stackoverflow -- for VERY specific questions OR #python on irc.freenode.net

This is an intro to Python course and he's making us do all these complex progrms when we're still python noobs
the prof is also very vague with his instruction

I suppose you would need to learn everything between 0 and completion in order to produce the products he is demanding of you.
Perhaps there's a point to all this learning...

Wouldn't this be better on Stack Exchange?
Also, there's a dive into python mirrored somewhere. try .ep.io

Please help me out, I don't know who else to turn to!
here is the program description:
