What are you asking for help with?

Better yet: I'll give you about 57,900 examples (http://tinyurl.com/ydd96ld)

Type your python command (*if you haven't set it up you'll need to use the full pathname to python.exe or pythonw.exe), then the name of your script, then the command line arguments... here's an...

This is the section he's referring to:
def main():
filename=raw_input ("Gimme a picture.")
n=raw_input ("How many times would you like it tiled?")
img=Image.open(filename)

You have a number of issues in your code revolving around scope.

Here are the first few that jumped out at me:

1) In your dig_sum function, you refer to i but never define it (in your while...

Welcome to the forums.

EDIT: OP Updated post with Code tags

Also, when asking about a specific error you get, it would help if we could see the entire traceback (which helps to identify exactly...

When performing an import * in Python, you as a developer actually have power over what is included in that "import all" statement. By populating your package with either an __all__.py file or an...

With the limited information that you've provided my only guess would be that your Python installation is corrupted. You should reinstall.

When you return an object it isn't just automagically added to the current namespace... you need to actually store it in something.

All you'll need to do is say graph = plot_it(...), savvy?

Yes, but be forewarned it's psuedo-private. You can still see and access the variable, it's just obfuscated with the Class name. Look:
>>> class Cpriv(object):
... def __init__(self):
... ...

A dictionary. The key is the number, the value is the function.

Generate random number, then do something like my_function_dict[my_random_number](). Get it?

EDIT: To illustrate:

>>> def...

What is that? What are you doing?

EDIT: Also remember that dict is a reserved word in Python I suggest that you change the name

How about print ' || '.join([each.string for each in tag])... I've never used BeatifulSoup so I don't know about the whole tag.string thing that you're doing...

Try inserting a print tag trace statement right before the for loop to make sure all elements in tag are actually strings...

You would use chmod with the target being the directory

That or simply login as root before executing the script.

Ok, so it's most likely that the folder you're trying to open the file in doesn't have write permissions for the user that is running the python script. You could either run the script as root or...

What platform is this? Windows XP, Ubuntu Linux, Mac OSX, etc?

There's a number of possibilities here. Most likely the folder you're working in doesn't give you write permissions.

What functions?

The first code is not working because you're not iterating over your input anymore.

The second code is not working because your indentation is royally screwed up. Everything...

Unless your teacher is specifically telling you to use them in this manner, you really don't. And if he/she is, then I feel bad for you because your teacher is a terrible programmer.

In the future, please use code tags when posting code. It will allow the forum members here to read your post easily and will give you answers quicker (and of better quality). To use code tags...

My first suggestion is to remove the giant try/except block. If you make a syntax error your program will quit and never tell you the reason why. That is extremely poor Python coding and opens the...

I'd look into beautifulsoup if you're looking to break this thing down into an object hierarchy type structure. I haven't used it much, but I know there's plenty of examples on this site of how to...

The method os.getcwd() can only ever return a single string. There's ever only one current working directory, so when you're saying for d in os.getcwd(), you're actually iterating over the string...

Something like this perhaps:

for idx_j, each_string in enumerate(each_sublist):

If you search the forum you'll see this question has been asked a bajillion times.

Here's an example from earlier today (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1041001.html#post1041001).

Just a minor logic error. This should be:
if player[0] != "r" and player[0] != "p" and player[0] != "s":
print "incorrect choice entered"

Okay... how about this:
>>> data_dict = {
... '1234': ['Matt', '2.5', 'CS'],
... '1000': ['John', '4.0', 'Music'],
... '1023': ['Aaron', '3.1', 'PreMed'],
... '1001': ['Paul', '3.9',...

Because a string is an iterable object. When using the list() method, it converts any such object to a list by iterating over it. Example:
>>> list( (1,2,3,4,5) )
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> list( 'Hi...

Is this what you mean?


>>> my_dict = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
>>> my_dict.keys()
['a', 'c', 'b']
>>> my_dict.values()
[1, 3, 2]
>>>

Why, yes! This case would be a good one to use the dictionary's get method, which will allow you to determine if the key is already in the dictionary or not, and act accordingly.
def...

The function readlines() already gives you an "array" (it's list in Python). So I guess that part's solved :icon_lol:

Welcome to the forum Linky. Please, in the future use code tags (or any...

If I'm not mistaken \b means "backspace". So in this example you're writing a seven digit numeral to the screen with %07d and then seven "backspaces" to clear those numerals before writing the next...

You can stop using IDLE and just run your code in the console, which retains the usage of Ctrl+C (I believe that IDLE tries to catch Ctrl+C)

Here's an indexing example:

>>> mydata = [0.0] * 5
>>> mydata
[0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
>>> mydata[2] = 45
>>> mydata
[0.0, 0.0, 45, 0.0, 0.0]
>>> mydata[0] = 1.0
>>> mydata

Yes, but when you're inserting to an index, that index must exist. Index 2 does not exist in a single element list (only index 0 and index 1). When you insert, you're also extending your list by...

Why don't you just fire up your interpreter and see what's happening:
>>> mydata = [0.0]
>>> mydata
[0.0]
>>> # mydata only has one element
>>> mydata = [0.0] * 5
>>> mydata
[0.0, 0.0, 0.0,...

To overwrite the previous output you could use the system command os.system('cls') on Windows or os.system('clear') on Linux.

But if you're looking for single character control you'll need to look...

Yes. But the answer depends on your platform. In windows you can use the command-line COLOR command. Here's how:

You have a lot of options. If you're looking to purely look at html you can use urllib2, or if you'd rather have the module parse out all the elements for you and give you purely the text data you'd...

Create an empty list:

my_list = []


Create a list of specified length with all "blank" values:
