def __init__(self):
I am the host of a Python Programming YouTube channel and associated website, which share almost a thousand free Python programming tutorials.
Early on in my Python career, I began to look for quality Python apparel, and was sincerely let down.
Like anyone would do in my situation, I borrowed my wife's embroidery machine and made my own! Quickly, people began asking me where I got my jacket, but I had nowhere to point them to.
def why_crowdfund(self,challenges):
When it comes to ordering apparel, bulk is the name of the game.
Prices can drop up to 50% if you're willing to buy a bunch at once, but you also need to know sizes when ordering.
Using crowdfunding, I intend to get an initial feeling of public interest, a statistical representation of desired sizes, and I can know sizes before placing an order for materials.
Support Python, free Python education, the Python Software Foundation (10% of all sales go to the PSF), and look awesome in the process!
def goals(self):
The goal is a flexible $2,000.
if the goal is met:
yay!
elif the goal is not met:
perks have been priced to ensure delivery still can happen.
elif the goal is surpassed:
More types of apparel can be added via stretch goals (Hats, fleece jackets, and of course Python socks...because everyone needs Python socks).
def other_ways_you_can_help(self):
Even if you cannot support monetarily, you can spread the word of the campaign, and of course the good word of Python!
def what_you_get(self,rewards):
You can think of this campaign like a pre-order + support for the cause of bringing high-quality Python swag to the world, free tutorials, and support for the Python Software Foundation.
All perks have been priced to guarantee that the item you want can actually be delivered.
Return: look_awesome, support_free_tutorials, support_python_software_foundation(0.10*sales)
There's been a lot of requests for international shipping. I have now added it, but a few notes:
I can only guarantee that I will ship the perks. The chances of them getting lost in the mail overseas and internationally is much higher, and tracking stops working once the item leaves the USA. Also, depending on your country, there may be taxes due upon receiving the item.
Buy internationally at your own risk!
