Isnt it possible that you could just have two large buttons side to side? When you click them you can set the label (if you are using wxPython) via wx.Button.SetLabel("Label Here") Then you can bind...

Why dont you just have it that it reads the first line of project1 and that can have a simple string telling you what version it is. Then if there is a newer one replace

Have this as the first...

Please post the code that you have written, or a specific problem that you have. We are *not* here to do your homework

We can fix that with one character, a lowly comma :)
If you put the comma after the print statement it should work

for x in range(1, len(depend)):
#comma after the whole statement
print...

I think this is what you need:

import os
os.startfile('filename.py')

Hope that helps :)

Cause in line 4 of the program you reset the input to 0!? :P Delete line 4

Okay, so look at your sentence just here:


That tells you exactly what you need to do, first: Ask the user for the current population
This is done with just an input statement

#designed for...

Steve's code is almost right :)
The problem is in line 5

line.replace('.','')

The problem with that is that it doesn't store the new string in the variable automatically, so just add a line = ...

All that the .pyw extension does that the .py doesn't is make that black window "python.exe" not show up, which is useful for wxPython apps, sometimes :P

Okkay. Then what i would do is rather than just saying

open("names.txt")

I would do the full address of where i put the file so

open(r"C:\Program Files\Wing IDE 101...

And also change the like

app.Mainloop()

to

app.MainLoop()

Okay so you need to just copy the names file into

Could you post the exact error? That can help a lot.

As well there are a few things you need to address.


def name_list():
infile = open('names.txt', 'r')
names = infile.readlines()...

You can find out how something is make up by using the dir() function.

This lists all of the variables, methods and classes of whatever you put inside the brackets :)

Well you can use the type() function to show what type the number is:

>>> type(12)
<type 'int'>
>>> type(12.4)
<type 'float'>
>>> type(input())
12
<type 'int'>
>>> type(input())

If you are using python 3 then you just have to change your input and print statements to fit

order=int(input("Please enter the price of the order: "))
x=1.50
if order <10:
print("the total...

Sooo. What work have you done? Its nice to see a base from which we can help you.

Sorry, i dont usually link things. But this feels appropriate :)

If you want to write something at the start of a file though you would need to do something like this

#opening the file in read ("r") mode
f = open("file.txt",'r')
#get all that is in the text...

A static method is one that can be called without instantiating the class
so

>>> class T(object):
def test():
print "HI"


>>> T.test()

Yes, i think that is what they are trying to do, but at daniweb we try to not give outright answers for the questions and rather steer users in the right direction so that they may learn by...

Have a fiddle around with

count = 0

while count <= len(s)+2:
count +=1
print '*'

That should print out that right amount of asterisks. See if you cant take that a bit further :)

If you want a book that explains it all really nicely, and is free then have a look at Dive into Python:

FOR PYTHON 2.*

FOR PYTHON 3.*...

If by unparsed HTML via script you mean get the source code for a page. Then you do that by using urllib

import urllib

#This is a file like object.
data = urllib.urlopen("www.daniweb.com")
...

have a look at Beautiful Soup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/):

I have heard that it is an excellent tool for scraping webpages.

If that doesn't work then you can always try...

It shouldn't be to hard, have a look at the API for the wx.TextCTRL
http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.TextCtrl-class.html
One of the functon is GetValue() that returns a string of the value in...

Yeah as he said, wxPython has not been made for python 3.
The versions that have wxPython support are:

Python 2.4
Python 2.5
Python 2.6


So personally i do not use python 3 for the...

Yeah i definitely agree. Matlibplot is great.
Here is a simple tutorial for you to start out :)
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html

Oh and this is where you download it...

No. Because its hard to read code (especially python) without code tags

import re

infileName1 = raw_input("Enter filename ")
infile1 = open(infileName1, 'r')
data1 = infile1.readlines()...

In every class in the __init__ method you have to put

threading.Thread.__init__(self)

Without this threading with classes just dosent work properly.

So for example

import threading

If your on windows there is a great way to tell what a process is. I cant quite remember how to do it on a *NIX system. But you go CTRL+ALT+DEL and then go to the processes tab, you will see a whole...

Your code has a couple of issues, if i am not wrong it will not actually start using threading with your code as it is. You need to add a couple of lines

class Thread ( threading . Thread ):
...

def eliminate( grid, square, value ):
row = square[ 0 ]
col = square[ 1 ]
poss = grid[ row ][ col ]
if len( poss ) > 1:
poss.remove( value )
grid[ row ][ col ] =...

Well you can write a tab by using the escape character and t. So if you were writing a tab to a file you would go something like this:

f = open("File.txt",'w')
f.write("\t This will be indented...

ooh my bad :S.

what i would do is read the whole file into one list, then you can do something like:

#open it, it is automatically in read mode
f = open("dnalookingfile.txt")

#get a list with all the lines...

Yeah, i dont know if you may have checked this. But i know i stuffed this up one time, but are you sure its .jpeg not .jpg or .JPG or something like that?

:P

self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.Close(), id=ID_FILE_QUIT)

Theres ya problem!
You dont need to put the brackets after self.Close, the brackets are only used if you actually want to call the function,...

I always use the wxPython api when i want to find something out, its a very very useful skill to be able to do that, because of the lack of documentation you really have to try and use what you do...

Yeah i agree, i think the best that you could do was boot into windows or something and then just start you new 'python OS' being a fullscreen gui that can do things that you want it to.
But as for...
