Regardless of where you ask for help, please:

- Don't ask "does someone know ...". Just ask about your problem right away.

- Make your question short.

- Include everything that other people will need to answer your question.

For example, if you are getting an error, include your code and the error message.

IRC is the oldest chatting service I know, but as of 2022, it's still

in use, and a good way to get help in Python.

An advantage with IRC is that you don't need to create an account to use it.

To get started, go to https://web.libera.chat/ and type `##learnpython` or `#python` for the channel name.

- `##learnpython` is a channel where I am regularly, but there's usually only about 20 people there,

so it could be that nobody answers your question, depending on what time it is.

I'm on `##learnpython` at about 7PM to 10PM UTC.

If you see `Akuli` in the user list, that's me :)

- `#python` is an active channel that I don't use much, but someone will likely answer your question pretty quickly.

If you want to post more than 3 lines of code,

put it to [dpaste.com](https://dpaste.com/) first.

Otherwise every line of your code will appear as a separate message on IRC,

so if your code is 15 lines, just pasting it in will produce 15 different messages.

This would be annoying.


You can then search for e.g. Python, and you should find many servers to choose from.

I am currently @Akuli on a server called "The Programmer's Hangout".
