Just a relatively simple calculator using the Tkinter GUI. It has a few nice features such as correcting division by an integer (for older Python versions), error trapping, to and from memory buttons, and an editable display. The editable display allows you to backspace mistakes, and also to enter... (View Snippet)
The wx.BitmapButton shows an image, great for those folks who think that a picture is worth a thousand words. The snippet gives an example how to load the image, size the button, and put the image on the the button. (View Snippet)
Using a wxPython GUI program to find the position of the mouse when clicked within the frame/window. Also sets the color of the frame and changes the cursor to a pencil. The title bar of the frame displays the coordinates of the mouse position. (View Snippet)
Just bouncing a red ball within the frame of a window, the twist here is that the image is stored within the code as a base64 encoded string of the gif image. This way you only have to distribute one file. The Python code is heavily commented, so you can follow what is going on. (View Snippet)
Wallpaper or tile images are small images that can be spread across a background repetitively. A common practice on web pages. The surface created with wx.PaintDC() can be used for this effect and still allows other widgets to be put on top of the wallpaper. The small tile image is included in... (View Snippet)
If a word or sentence reads the same way forward and backward, then it is a palindrome. A small admonition is in place, whitespaces and punctuation marks can be ignored. Also, all the letters should be in one case, lower or upper, your choice. Ideal for Python to show off its prowess with string... (View Snippet)
Nothing fancy. just shows a simple monthly calendar in a Tkinter label. The trick is to use a fixed font so spaces take up the same area as numbers. (View Snippet)
The lowly soundcard in your PC has fascinating capabilities. All you need is a module that can handle the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI). Tell the soundcard which instrument to play, specify the musical note, the duration, the beat and other things. The sound chip makes 127... (View Snippet)
Boo is new, well at least relatively new. If you are familiar with Python and C#, you can feel right at home. Most of Boo is written in C# by a Python devotee. Boo has static typing, but also mimics dynamic typing by inference. This way you are not in a complete straight-jacket. It runs in the... (View Snippet)
Scientists and deficit spenders like to use Python because it can handle very large numbers. I decided to give it a test with factorials. Factorials reach astronomical levels rather quickly. In case you can't quite remember, the factorial of 12 is !12 = 1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*11*12 = 479001600,... (View Snippet)
