I'll say the same, its worked a treat on my computer, and apart from the usual IDLE annoyances with wxPython its all running smoothly. :)

I know! Im there too, i feel quite privileged :)

Post the exact error you are getting, that helps a lot :)

Yeah i must admit i have noticed that number always seems to look a little low recently

A while ago i was like " I think there is some virus software brought out by Microsoft this time" and people were like nah, but i was right! :P

Cause in line 4 of the program you reset the input to 0!? :P Delete line 4

Okay, so look at your sentence just here:


That tells you exactly what you need to do, first: Ask the user for the current population
This is done with just an input statement

#designed for...

Steve's code is almost right :)
The problem is in line 5

line.replace('.','')

The problem with that is that it doesn't store the new string in the variable automatically, so just add a line = ...

Ha ha! I knew it. So i wasnt wrong all those posts ago :)

All that the .pyw extension does that the .py doesn't is make that black window "python.exe" not show up, which is useful for wxPython apps, sometimes :P

Hooray for aussies! :) Yeah the whole josh thing happened at about 6 o'clock (am) for me

You should probably document your code to explain what each bit is doing, like why you need the third item in the list, why it need to be converted so many times, and what getch() and msvrt are.

I though Ezzaral was online.. I didn't know abut niek_e though :P

Okkay. Then what i would do is rather than just saying

open("names.txt")

I would do the full address of where i put the file so

open(r"C:\Program Files\Wing IDE 101...

Oh, Woops :P then congrats admins.. Whoever did it did it really quickly

That was amazing, in 20 minutes you managed to ban Josh4. Im quite impressed at the speed you work at. And the forums are all clean again. So you really will only have noticed him if you were on here...

Yeah there is still no py2exe support for python 3.x

And also change the like

app.Mainloop()

to

app.MainLoop()

I think he is a user called JoshSCH who is banned, but he has just made a new profile.

>Thank you for your friendly answer.
Yeah that wasn't friendly at all, ignore him, it seems a previously banned member has gone around screwing up the forums by posting huge amounts of threads and...

Okay so you need to just copy the names file into

Could you post the exact error? That can help a lot.

As well there are a few things you need to address.


def name_list():
infile = open('names.txt', 'r')
names = infile.readlines()...

Ah, excellent. threading is a great thing to show people.... Im still stuck for another idea for a tutorial though.. Unless i do wxPython ones. I already have some of those at my site tho :P

Ah yeah, forgot about doing the compiling of them. Im glad you liked it though :)

Regex is one of the more complicated modules that you can use in python. Once you have learnt it though you can use it many different programming languages, so its a useful tool for using with...

Wow a tutorials, i havent seen one of these posted for aages...

You can find out how something is make up by using the dir() function.

This lists all of the variables, methods and classes of whatever you put inside the brackets :)

Thanks! Thats it. :)

Yup, it works with mIRC :S Thats weird

Hmm.... I'll download a client and try again

Hi,
Im using wxPython for my latest project and i was wondering, how do i make the window go to the best size, so it includes all of the objects on screen?

I used to be able to remember... but i...

Ah, Thanks guys.. I have been using the Mibbit client that you can find in my sig.. Not sure if that could be the problem or not though :S

Hi,
I thought it would be nice to go on IRC today and see if anything is happening. But i went in and entered my username "Paul Thompson" as my name and halfway through logging on it went like...

Well you can use the type() function to show what type the number is:

>>> type(12)
<type 'int'>
>>> type(12.4)
<type 'float'>
>>> type(input())
12
<type 'int'>
>>> type(input())

Well my recommendation is avast :)

Alright. Cheers grib. I was hoping you could help with this :)

So.. By importing the program into its own __init__ module it then imports everything in the folder... Or am i still missing the point?

Hmm... I have always wondered.. What is the significance of the __init__.py filename? I know what __init__ but what does it do in relation to files?

Hi guys,
Im a making a program where i need to be able to specify a folder and have my program import every module from that folder into my program... I was wondering how i would go about it. I...

Ancient Dragon, new favourite golden oldie :P

Really though, this whole thread just sounds a lot like "he said", "she said". I havent heart an argument like this since primary school :S
