Here, we try to anticipate common questions about Boston Python and about Python software.

### Questions about Boston Python
10+
11+
- How do I organize an event for Boston Python?
12+
We recently added [a page describing this once mysterious process](https://about.bostonpython.com/planning)
13+
14+
15+
### Questions about Python
16+
17+
- What's the best way to install python?
18+
- What's the best editor to use for python?
19+
- Should I learn python or {{ other_language }} if I want to work in {{ field }}?
20+
21+
## Pro Tips:
22+
23+
When questions start with _"What is the best...?"_, the response should ask for a clarification of the use case.
24+
- What is most important to you?
25+
- Are you working alone, or with other people?
26+
- What are you using now?
27+
- Are you doing this for curiosity or for a requirement (money, certification, T-Shirts)
28+
- Do you have time to learn something new?
29+
30+
31+
When questions start with _"How do I...?"_, the response should ask for an example of a failing test. In other words, a concrete example of where they are in the problem.
32+
The best requests for help look something like this:
33+
- I tried `{{ url_to_code }}`
34+
- and I got `<example of desired result>`
35+
- but instead I got `{{ url_to_result }}`
