You'll either have to follow jlm699's advice or there's no other go, UNLESS.... unless you make a GUI for your program where this is possible...

If you don't already know:

(identifier)=open("(file.txt)",'r'(or)'w')
(another_identifier)=(identifier).read()
#That's how you get text from a file which is now stored as a String in...

I hope pun not intended:

lol
:)

Try:

lucky=input("Enter a number: ")

while True:
n=lucky%10
if(n=='7'):
print(str(lucky)+" is lucky!")
return False
lucky=lucky/10

If you want to check if the username is present, the easiest thing to do is:

usern=['sravan953','Dan08','SuperMetroid','vegaseat']
'SuperMetroid' in usern
"""
>> True
"""

Try:

nums=[]
avg=0
def main():
print "This program will average a group of numbers together"
n = input("How many numbers will you be entering?: ")
for i in range(n):
...

Python is a really good choice! It has a nice, clean interactive shell called IDLE. The language is also easy, for example:

print "Hello"


This gives:


I recommend you start learning it:...

First of all chico2009, please enclose your code in proper tags, for more on that refer to this link (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/faq.php?faq=daniweb_policies).

Now, moving onto your question,...

Hmmm...even I am bamboozled! I think since example="", it takes example to be null string and checks it in "Hello There" and returns True, but this doesn't:

>>> example=""
>>> "Hello There" in...

What woooee said was correct:

overwrite=""
while(overwrite!="Y".lower() and overwrite!="N".lower()):
overwrite=raw_input()

Also:

def some_function():
var="Is this a function?"
return var
var=some_function()

Whoa! I never knew there were so many complication in even importing modules! Kudos vegaseat!

I don't know what you mean by efficient, but I think
import math will suffice.

Yes, yes you can!

If you want to open a .txt file named: "log.txt" which is in the same directory as where you are working from:

log=open("log.txt",'r')
"""
Here, you can replace 'log' with...

I kinda understand your problem.

You want to print the lines(and their 'line number') containing a specific triple to another file?

readLines() is a type error; the 'l' is not capitals. So- readlines()

I have no idea why it doesn't work, but this works:

talking="quit"
talking=="q" or "quit"
#True

Zebibyte's code idea is correct, although lines 5 & 6 are unnecessary(I think).

This worked for me:


>>> s = '491 43140113108107 11210'
>>> a=0
>>> b=3
>>> for x in s:
s1=s[a:b]
print(s1)
a+=3

Yeah I probably think so, because I too couldn't get onto the site!

P.S: Maybe python.org was also a victim of a DoS attack joining the leagues of Twitter, LiveJournal and Facebook?

Just for my confirmation, try this if it works:


import subprocess

subprocess.call(["flash.exe",the location of the file])

If length of the last few characters(_0c12d) aren't going to change, you can try this:

det_file = "/grups.google.com/grup/cmp.lng.pythn/browse_thread/thread/8_ee63e_17del_0c12d"
le=len(det_file)...

Hey, I too was totally confused by your problem, it happened to me too! But, I tried this:

>>> mylist = ['bunnies', 'apples', 'animals', 'fruit', 'amsterdam']
>>> for x in mylist:
print...

Mine works too, I tested it! ;)

Try:

infoToWrite = "Harry Potter: Teenage boy who has an owl"
myFile = open("characterlist.txt", "r")
myFile.write(infoToWrite)

It should work, I only removed the 'plus'(+) after the r in...

Try:

import time

response=raw_input("Are you ready?\n")

while(response.lower()!="no"):
if(response.lower()!="yes"):
time.sleep(3)
response=raw_input("\nAre you...

Try:

log=open('1234txt','r')
log_read=log.readlines()

x=""
for a in log_read:
if (a=='you love me'):
x="True"

To assign values:

loop=[]

#Depending on number of values you want to assign, specify the limit(here 5 values)

a=0
while a<=5:
loop.append(a)
a+=1

@Vegaseat: I think it would take you only few days! :D
