The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: How to use Python

As python will be used more and more. For anyone wanting to get it on their windows 10 computer here are the steps:

Python is installed from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Once installed open a command window and run these commands:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install tkinter
pip install itertools
pip install threading
pip install collections
pip install datetime
pip install pil
pip install image

Note which directory is your default home directory. Place all related files there. This will be the default directory you start at when launching a command prompt.
Note: command is accessible in windows via start menu -> windows system -> command prompt
Note: if you are using a restricted login you will have to right click and more and then select open file location. Then hold down left shift and right click and select run as different user. Enter your administrator privilidge account username and password.
Please note only use an elevated command prompt when only absolutely necessary command privilidge elevation is the number one way most hacks occur the the second note may not be necessary at all.

For Linux users python should already be installed. Depending upon your release though you may want to download and compile the latest version from scratch.
Fedora is notorious for having funky versions and CentOS may take a while if you run into dependency hell so have fun.
After install run the same pip commands listed above though you may have to use pip3 instead of pip to explicitly use python3. Python2 will not really run this script.

For mac OS merely go to python.org and download the installer and run the same commands above.

Please note python itself is absolutely free and open source. There are a million literally libraries, plug-ins and modules you can use to program with.

Shouldn’t this be in the Off Topic section?

It relates directly to the sentry gun flash terminal piece. These things have not been an issue before.
