Assuming you are using Python2, you could do it like this:
print("Enter zero for the value you are looking for:")

s = d = t = 0

while True:

s = input("Speed (miles/hour): ")
d =...

Wow, is there such a thing? Sounds interesting.

Thanks for the info jlm699!

There must be something wrong at sourceforge, right now every download request for wxpython2.8 flips into the wxPython2.7.1.2 page :)

This direct link may work:...

Forgot to mention this, but I also corrected line 10 to:

self.fileMenu.Append(ID_FILE_QUIT, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

Zetlin, your code was almost there:
def test():
number = input("Number: ")
scale = range(1, number+1)
total = 0
for count in scale:
n = count * 20
print n
...

I ran this from the IDLE editor:
s = u'Rash\u00f4mon'
print s # --> Rashômon

a = u'\u00bfC\u00f3mo es usted?'
print a # --> ¿Cómo es usted?

Use something like this:
s = "Function1 (text1) (text2) (text3) [text4]"

print s.count('(')
print s.count(')')
print s.count('[')
print s.count(']')

You could use / both Windows and Unix allow that.

Python code is actually very similar to your Perl code, just a bit more readable:
# Convert string "HelloPythonWorld" to "HELLO_PYTHON_WORLD"

s1 = "HelloPythonWorld"
s2 = ""
for index, c in...

If paulthom12345's suggestion does not fix your problem, try to bind this way:
import wx

ID_FILE_QUIT = 101

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, title):
...

Try to change your print line to:
print ("The sum of "+str(a)+" and "+str(b)+" is: "+str(a+b))
or even better:
print ("The sum of %s and %s is: %s " % (a, b, (a+b)))

Now remember in Python2...

Numerology is very interesting, but sort of stupid too!

Try this:

num = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
print sum(num)

This will give you an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<module1>", line 23, in <module>
File "<module1>", line 21, in test
TypeError: test() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

You could also make up your time string this way:
import time

time_str = time.strftime("%A %B %d %Y %H hours %M minutes and %S seconds",
time.localtime())

print time_str # Monday...

Oh yeah, like:
print 'racecar' == 'racecar'[::-1] # True
:)

You might have to uninstall a partially installed version of eric before reinstalling. I would stick with an IDE that uses wxPython as its GUI toolkit, like DrPython, Boa or PythonWin.

My Grandpapa says: "Men really live longer than women, they just don't say much so you don't notice them."

You are probably right, there are some new cool avatars popping up lately. Some even animated like that annoying stuff on the web pages.

Wow, this dude disraeli is one heavy poster!

Why post and show everbody how unsmart you are?

Guess what, his wife found out and took him to the woodshed. Now he lives in the doghouse without a computer.

That might just be an impossible project! Working on Perpetual Motion surely would give you better results.

This is something similar to what you coded. I didn't use the 'clear the screen' thingy because that would make it OS specific, and our instructor says that it is better to leave a record on the...

In order for this to work you have to have at least the .NET 2.0 runtime installed on your machine. SharpDevelop is just an IDE written in C#.

C# is Microsoft's baby and you are pretty well stuck...

I am primarily using C# (that's what my school uses), but enjoy looking into Python code. I am looking at the many code samples shown here, and find them so much easier to understand and read than...

I really like your thinking! I just wanted to present alternatives, not force them on you! May you be successful and happy with your choices!

@Duki:
My dad's a lawyer, he enjoys it and is doing very well!

BTW, he is still chuckling about naru's comment about her sharp womanly tongue!

My point, why would an employer keep hiring folks at such inflated pay levels, if he/she can get the same job done for $5 an hour in India? Distance wouldn't mean much on the internet.

Well, the day is still young. What makes you the expert and what stuff are you on? Love your avatar, looks good for Halloween!

Why do you old folks always have to insult us young folks?

I know this is a little late, but if you live in the US, switch to law and join the money making crowd. In your present technical field you will always be just a peon competing with low paid labor...

I had the same problem until I figured out that the Text widget width is in characters and the height in text lines. Makes it easier for text, but harder for overall sizing.

Now we have all seen that our moderators are less than perfect:
// typical example for seeded random integers in a given range

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h> //...

Nothing is 100% fool proof, it depends on the fool! I would say go with pygmalion's solution, unless "know-it-all" iamthwee produces code.

I am a little confused with the 'string.split(s)' I thought it was more like s.split():
s = "Just a test string"
words = s.split()
print words
Are there different versions of Python floating...

Sounds interesting, so i put it all together:
message = "just a simple test!"
key = 11
coded_message = ""
for ch in message:
code_val = ord(ch) + key
if ch.isalpha():
