I'm making a POS system using Tkinter for my Computing Programming Project and for the program analysis we have to talk about the proposed solution and how we'll go about carrying out the program. For this, it's recommended to talk about system requirements needed to run the program but I'm not very experienced in talking about system requirements so I'm not sure what numbers to mention in terms of RAM, CPU, storage, etc.
Could you give me some basic numbers that you'd expect a computer to have in order to run a POS program similar to this one?

I never went too far into NetLogo, and being a novice in Python I started looking into the turtle module, aiming towards ABM. I have seen some simple implementations of the turtle module (turtledemo and YouTube) but none were comparable to NetLogo library's examples. I went over (once) the mesa tutorials and it seemed interesting but, as it says, more advanced stuff require Javascript. I've also read that NetLogo is fast to pick up.
Considering the above, and adding your own experience, could NetLogo be a better choice than Python? Could you estimate how hard each path would be? Do you have any other suggestions?

I teach ABM. I used to use Python for my course,
using a module that provides some NetLogo-like functionality:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alan-isaac/econpy/master/abm/gridworld/gridworld.py
I gave that up. Although Python is a great language for
teaching programming, NetLogo is a much better language for
teaching ABM. (Both started out as teaching languages,
very roughly speaking, and became much more.) It is very
easy to get started with NetLogo. It's builtin facilities
also support very sophisticated model building. These facilities
can be extended when needed.

I am new to python and am now learning about 'traceroute'. I don't exactly understand how this works. If I am typing the traceroute in python command line, I receive a syntax error:
traceroute www.somewebsite.com
I receive a syntax error pointing to ^www
Am I misunderstanding or doing something wrong? I'm trying to work on this in practice from a book reading assignment.
Can someone explain what traceroute is exactly?
Your help is appreciated, thank you.

This is not supposed to work, because python does not understand terminal/cmd commands. So you need to use os.system in this case:
So, in your case:
import os
os.system('traceroute www.somewebsite.com`)
In windows its tracert not traceroute.

I want to create a functional POS system with python, I just don't know where to begin. I am fluent in the language, but I have never done any web development with python. Can someone point me in the right direction, how to incorporate python into html and mysql?

Not sure what POS means, is that Point of Sale?
For web development, people in Python land tend to go with Django and Flask as they are the most popular.

I'm writing a scientific article in which I used Python for simulations. How is the Python language properly referenced? Are there any articles in journals available I could link to?
This is also relevant for theses and dissertations in fields where Python is not commonly known.
Edit: See here for the answer: https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/5482/how-do-i-reference-the-python-programming-language-in-a-thesis-or-a-paper

Well, in principle you could cite the language reference, but to tell the truth it'd be a bit weird to cite the programming language in use as a bibliographical reference. That's just a tool for your thesis or article, not a scientific body of work, and as such is not part of the foundations of your research - therefore there's no need to cite it IMHO. Unless your research happens to be in the general field of programming languages and Python in particular.
