No. The work I have done interfaces with SDS/2 (http://www.sds2.com/) software. SDS/2 has a built-in interpreter, and we run scripts inside the SDS/2 3D model to automate tasks, extract and...

You are welcome, daviddoria. I added this routine to the geometry library I have been developing for about three years.

I don't know of one. This code requires a radial coordinate.
class Pt(object):
def __init__(self, x=0.0, y=0.0, z=0.0):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.z = z

I think NineTrails solved the error. You should use code tags. Your code would be easier to read.

Are you trying to print a string backwards?
>>> x = 'something'
>>> x[::-1]
'gnihtemos'

Here's my contribution:
>>> def age_input(lower=1, upper=200):
... while True:
... age = raw_input("Enter an age between %d and %d" % (lower,upper))

... age =...

The readlines() file method returns a list. The read() method returns a string. A str object has no insert() method but a list object does.

It appears that req is an open file object of some type. Try flushing the output buffers (obj.flush()) or close the file.

Supply a starting index for str.find() and update it each iteration. Example:
users = '''Users
<a>User 1</a>
<a>User 2</a>
<a>User 3</a>
<a>User 4</a>
<a>User 5</a>
'''

userList = []

I think Murtan is right about the histogram, but I never would have thought about that from reading the OP's posts. Instead of showing a solution, I will try to describe it and show some sample code....

Here is one way to do it:
>>> class test(object):
... def change_var(self, name, value):
... globals()[name] = value
...
>>> var = 123
>>> obj = test()
>>> obj.change_var('var', 456)...

Built-in function round() and string formatting.

>>> sig_digits = 6
>>> num = 123.456789

Please use code tags when posting code.

Are you receiving an error message? If so, please post it.

Initialize a maximum score variable (maxscore). Loop on the file object for line in file_obj:....

An appropriate variable name in the for loop would be key instead of value, because you are iterating on the keys of the dictionary.

Not to be picky, but string method isalpha() is preferable by some. This will avoid the string module:def phone_alpha_number(phone_num):
nums = '22233344455566677778889999'
alphas =...

If you want to determine if a number is prime or not, you should return True (if prime) or False (if not prime). Use the modulo operator to determine if the entered number is divisible by loop...

I like using list comprehensions for this kind of task.
>>> cols = 4
>>> rows = 5
>>> array = [[0 for i in range(cols)] for j in range(rows)]
>>> array
[[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0],...

When variables are assigned inside a function, they are always bound to the function's local namespace. The global namespace is never checked for name switch, therefore the error.
Example:

It's almost impossible to follow your code without code tags. Please use them! Like this:

You can determine the symbols defined in zipfile with dir(zipfile). 'ZipFile'...

Here's another problem:
for files in files:
Should be:
import zipfile, os, time, sys, ConfigParser, zlib
def zip_fh():
zip = zipfile.ZipFile('%s.zip' % (path), 'w')
for root,...

You can encapsulate your array variables in a dictionary.
>>> dd = {}
>>> for i in range(6):
... dd['Array%s' % i] = ['-']
...
>>> dd
{'Array3': ['-'], 'Array2': ['-'], 'Array1': ['-'],...

I would like to share this function that converts a number in base 10 to any base between 2 and 36. Originally it was limited to bases 2-16.
import string

def convDecToBase(num, base, dd=False):...

It depends on the type of data and how you intend to use it.
>>> adam = "john"
>>> adam += "mike"
>>> adam
'johnmike'
>>> ' '.join([adam, 'fred'])
'johnmike fred'
>>>

You opened the file in mode 'r'. Try mode 'w'.

What is the hang-up you have with CODE TAGS? Your code would look like below, and other people may actually read it!

......code goes here....
....and here....

Here's a hint:
guess = random.choice(possible_guesses)Update possible_guesses every time a guess is made, eliminating the numbers that are greater than or less than the last guess.

You are very welcome!

Think about it. tries starts out as 0. Make a guess. tries is incremented to 1.
guess - 2
guess - 3

That's 3 guesses! How could it only be 2? Remember, I omitted the guess outside of the loop...

In that case, you can use a try/except block to catch the error.

try:
rs.moveFirst()
# other code as needed
except Exception, e: # substitute the actual exception raised
# do...

The object assigned to rs should evaluate False if empty. Have you tried:
if rs:
rs.moveFirst()

Well, of course it won't work. If you pickle.dump() some data to disk, you need to pickle.load() to get the data from disk. Example:
>>> dd = {'s3': 'This is a string', 'r3': 1.5, 'i3': 1}
>>> f =...

Are you referring to the code I posted?. Variable tries is equal to 3 after 3 guesses. Are you going to allow 4 guesses?

If I understand the problem correctly, there is no need to pass q as an argument to enqueue() and dequeue().
def enqueue(self,z):
self.q.append(z)
return self.qTo reverse the...

Oops! Accidental duplicate post.

I cannot read your code without code tags!

Change the loop to while True. Omit the first guess. Initialize tries to 0, and increment tries after guess. Modify your if/else to if/elif/else. The...

To load the values, you could do something like this:
Example config file:

fn = 'config.txt'
f = open(fn)

varnames =...

Here's another variation:

'San Diego 5,673 7,062 24.50%',
'Riverside 9,250 11,714...

If I understand you correctly, you want to substitute the "VALUE" of a residence feature which would be a "KEY" in a dictionary. For each different value, there will be a different key. A dictionary...
