If I'm working with R, I can import thousands of libraries with no errors whatsoever.  With Python, I just get thousands of errors with nothing working whatsoever.  I totally don't understand this language.  Import means import.  Right.  WTF!!!!!


Either this is the most brilliant thing ever invented, or it's the biggest piece of shit ever invented.  I just can't tell.  All I know for sure, is that it doesn't do ANYTHING that I tell it to do.  

If there is another way of running Python code, like using Visual Studio, or a text file, or some such thing, let me know, and I'll do it.  It seems like you should use Python to run Python, but my Python doesn't do anything at all.  Yesterday I uninstalled Python 2.7, because that wouldn't do anything either.  I'm just about ready to uninstall 3.4.
