when you create a socket, you need to bind it with a port, address so other sockets have something to connect to.


sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.bind((address,...

try GUI2exe, it's a gui wrapper for py2exe.

Hmm.. Well strangely enough it works on my machine (XP)
From idle and from cmd.

Not sure what the problem is, but if you need to get the address of a messege sender then just do that in the...

python has a keyword function in that would be useful in your example.


if password in pass_list1:
# do something

can you post the traceback? and what module's are you using?

there must be something else going on. When you make a copy of a list list2 = list1[:] it fills list2 with list1's values, but when you change either list1 or list2, the change isn't mirrored so...

Thanks.
Yea not a problem i'll put it there now.

And I will look up the python code guidlines thing (i have heard of it before to be honest) i'm just lazy hehe.

excellent, happy coding

You don't need to get a fileobject though. As solsteel pointed out, the csv module doesn't need a fileobject, it just needs something to iterate through, so if you split the self[filename] string by...

well as far as i can see, whatever resides within self[filename] is clearly not a valid filepath.

There was a sort of hint to what it might contain in the second error.

def function(*args):
print type(args)
print args

output

You should definitely use tkinters .after() function, it enters a local event loop which means it doesn't block your program.

Or

Well you could just use a Thread object to do the counting for you and then in your main program everytime the user enters a key, you just call a function of the Thread object counting that returns...

hmm.. what module is this 'call' function from?

because it's not a builtin / keyword function

the word 'example' is in: "A simple example string."

Well if your running your tkinter gui by calling: root.mainloop() or something similiar then you should change that to:

Just wondering if it was possible to be able to create a Tkinter window that can handle files being 'dropped' on it.

A guide to threading i found very useful

Personally i would use threading (thats the short answer)
As far as how to go about it, you've got a big project on your hands.

don't hijack eggowaffles thread ramakrishnakota, if you need help and it's not related to this guy start a new thread

did you define gold?
gold = gold + 5

if 'gold' is not defined before that statement then it doesn't know what to add 5 onto.

java is just like python, it's just that java's virtual machine is a hell of a lot more widely spread, known and used than pythons interpretter.

why do you think Jython is so good at what it does.

i'm not sure, i havn't used the double underscore methods much (if at all) but as far as i am aware, the __str__ method links with the 'print' keyword, so if print object is called then that objects...

well, if you want to be able to 'print' the kangaroo instance in your case your trying to print 'kanga' then just make the '__str__' method return a string and that string will get printed:

not sure what you mean exactly, but why are you creating a temporary instance of Kangaroo in the put in pouch function?
I thought you meant you wanted roo's pouch added into kanga's pouch?
