From what you've said, it sounds like you have to print out elements 3 through 6 (if 0 is the first element) of a list. This will print those 4 elements, doesn't matter how long the list is.

n =...

I would suggest that instead of storing the data in separate lists, store all the data in a class.

example:

class Data:
def __init__(self,row,value,var1,var2):
self.row = row
...

Very interesting. Thanks. I'll keep this in mind.

Hi all,

Here's my issue:

>>> a = [1,2,3] #all good so far
>>> b = a #make a copy of a, called b
>>> b.remove(1) #remove value 1 from b ONLY
>>> print a #grrr, value has also been removed...

Or, sort a list of class objects by an attribute (similar idea as above):

import operator
import string

def normcaps(strg):
s = string.upper(strg[0]) + strg[1:]
return s

Should be noted that Python won't mutate your string. If you say s = "'Quote Example'\tby person\n" s will always be that string unless you reassign it. When you print it, python interprets the...

Here's where you should always start:

What is your input to the script? This should be something tangible, a trigger, a file, some sort of a parameter you are going to pass.

What will your...

Also, you might want to make sure you are always dealing withe floats:

>>> float(499.99)
499.99000000000001
>>> float(500) - float(499.99)
0.0099999999999909051
>>> round(float(500) -...

Yea, I'm trying to figure out the Net Panel. Firebug seems pretty powerful.

I did get this working though. Turned out to be an issue about using 'www' or not using 'www.' Durrrr....

Hi all,

I'm trying to mimic an html form that calls a script on the web. When I put the form together on a page, it works, and I was wondering if there was a way I could "scrape" this post...

More info, plz.

State clearly what you are trying to to. Are you going to try and use python to parse the results (via html scrape)? Because that would likely mean regular expressions and that...

Whenever I start a script I usually write out in plain English what I want to do. It will keep you organized and you will never not know "where to start." Comment out the plain english, and script...

Hey all,

Here's my problem: I have a class that I want to be able to save and and load. But I need the class to be mutable I guess. Check it out:

class Tool:

Heh heh, I might have jumped the gun there a bit. It doesn't look like you can attach a scrollbar to a Frame. I just gave you the first answer off the top of my head. Seems like you should be able...

What does this line do?

Pmw.initialise(root)

Check if you're getting an error, run it from IDLE. Even if the window remains open there could still be an error.

No way, was that a spammer? That was way slick. Had me fooled.

Stick both canvases in a mainframe, and attach the scrollbar to the mainframe.

Neither am I. Interacting with mail servers like yahoo and gmail is unfortuanaetly not as simple as: connect, login, email. See below for what I use, but you may need to experiment with yahoo. The...

That's nice. Have a question? ;)

Your code looks somewhat roundabout. Quick sanity check, make the Label this and see if it works:

label = Label(parent,text = 'Hi world!',background = 'yellow')

If theres a highlighted piece...

Hmmm, interesting. I'm going to check out PyCrust, since I'm NOT a fan of IDLEs many issues...

Heh heh, I love eclipse, but the interactive shell (a la IDLE) is pretty darn awesome for testing stuff out. Example:

>>> #start with your function
>>> def count_chars(char,string):
"""A...

Well you can say Label(root,text="I'm a label!").grid(row = 0,column = 0) so no, you don't have to.

I would say it depends on your server configuration. Python has a MySQLdb module that lets it interact easily with MySQL databases (you would likely have to install it), but I'm not totally sure in...

Hey all,

Working on a medium sized Tkinter app. I have it working fine, but I feel like the app isn't as clean as I would like it to be, namely because I have a million labels and different...

Now you've seen everything! :)

Durrr... Thanks for the snippet, I'll try and implement, and post back when I'm done.

Errrr...stop me if I'm stating the obvious, but if your domain is mycompany.com, and the subdomain is pstats.mycompany.com, "pstats" will be a folder in the main "www" directory of mycompany.com. ...

What is the obsession with global variables? Seriously.

Pass the necessary elements to your function, and return them back. You seem to be doing half of this, but you are not putting your return...

Honestly you should never cut and paste. Ask questions about bits you don't understand. Rename variables at the very least so that you know where everything is going.

When you say it's not...

How's this for a solution:

Instead of worrying about what email client your users are using, have python send the email for them, through an account that you set up!

It's fairly easy to get...

This thread makes my head hurt. Do you need to store all the info about the cars in a python module? What about a csv? Also, if you're going to call a class in a module, that class has to be part...

Link directly to it.

ie: somesite.com/myscript.py

But make sure your print statements are "html"

ie: print "<P> Hello shadowickman </p> "

There are certain rules you have to follow for...

Okay, I quickly glanced over your code. It doesn't look like it works at all. Am I right?

Note that subprocess.Popen only creates the instance, it doesn't run the command line. You need to use...

def get_xml(uri,login):
netlock = urlparse.urlparse(uri)

Mmkay. The first step is determining what your input and output are. I believe the input is the cheques.data file, and your output is the XHTML that looks something like this:
