Note that since you're only copying the file, you should consider using shutil.copy like this

import shutil
maxValue = 20
for i in range( 1, maxValue + 1 ):
shutil.copy("filename.txt",...

You don't even need the readlines(). You can iterate on the file object directly. On the other hand, after the file has been read, the file position is at the end of the file, so you must use seek...

There is nothing very clever here. You must learn to think about algorithms. You want to output a series of blocks of lines; each block is indexed by the the number k in file<k>.tcl. So the structure...

You should also read the documentation of the standard lib module atexit which gives example of how you can register functions to be executed at program termination.

You can speed this up:

def sine(x):
term = float(x)
result = term # avoid 'sum' which is the name of a builtin function
u = - term * term # this is minus (x squared)
n = 0 #...

I have a small collection of receipes found on the web a long time ago. See if one of them can help you

# linux, mac
os.kill(pid, signal.SIGKILL)
killedpid, stat = os.waitpid(pid, os.WNOHANG)...

You probably still have the wrong indentation for the line
status = staticmethod(status).

The indentation is bad. The code should read

# Classy Critter
# Demonstrates class attributes and static methods

class Critter(object):
"""A virtual pet"""
total = 0

I don't know ubuntu very well, but if your launcher is related to a bash script, the script must be somewhere in the filesystem, so locate the script and call os.system(path_to_script) or...

I modified your code so that it prints the file name and the destination name instead of renaming the file. Run it and modifiy it until it gives the correct values, then uncomment the 'rename' line....

theIndex[124] is a list, so you can just write

theIndex[124].append("m")

You can write

from os.path import join as pjoin
targetfolder = raw_input('enter a target folder:\n').strip()
newname = raw_input('enter a new base name:\n')
newname = pjoin(targetfolder,...

First, if it's crashing your program, there must be an exception traceback.
Also why don't you simply create a normal class and a single instance of the class ?

Google found a patch for scapy.all..sniff, wich allows to stop the sniff function programmatically. You should try this http://trac.secdev.org/scapy/wiki/PatchSelectStopperTimeout

You can write

if colour in ("Green", "Blue", "Red"):
... # do something
else:
... # do something else

Note that in python 3, there are no 'old style class', so that your class is implicitely a subclass of object. Here is a small experiment with python 2.6 and python 3.1

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706,...

This may work

SP.Popen("c:\\program files\\webteh\\bsplayerpro\\bsplayer.exe d:\\rodin\\rodin.mp4 -stime"+str(d), shell=True)

The str(d) in the argument doesn't work. I suggest that you use the subprocess module

import subprocess as SP
SP.Popen(["c:\\program files\\webteh\\bsplayerpro\\bsplayer.exe", "-stime="+str(d),...

You can make a list with your functions

import random
funcs = [func0, func1,func2,func3,func4,func5,func6,func7,func8,func9,]
funcs[random.randrange(10)]() # <- call a random function...

The author of the article meant that the "property" function replaces getters and setters. In fact python's "property" encapsulates the attribute, and also encapsulates getters and setters !

You can add a loop in eyePicker until the user enters a valid colour:

from graphics import *

eye_colours = set("""green brown blue""".strip().split())

def drawCircle(win, centre, radius,...

I modified your code to give you a first running version

from graphics import *
def drawCircle(win, centre, radius, colour):
circle = Circle(centre, radius)
circle.setFill(colour)
...

Yes, you should have written 'and' istead of 'or'.

You can try

while rounds > max(player_point, cpu_point)

you forgot the return statement. This is python, not pascal :)

from graphics import *
import math
def distanceBetweenPoints(p1, p2):
x1, y1 = p1.getX(), p1.getY()
x2, y2 = p2.getX(),...

add

from graphics import *

at the top of your file. Also please use code tags (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement114-3.html) to post your python code. And also post python error...

The parameters p1 and p2 should not become P1 ad P2 the next line. Also, what does pyhon say ?

For example

def myfunction(pointA, pointB):
xa, ya = pointA.getX(), pointA.getY()
xb, yb = pointB.getX(), pointB.getY()
do_something_with(xa, ya, xb, yb)

You can use the 'key' argument to 'sort' or 'sorted'. Here, Data is a list. You can write

def my_key(item):
return item[1][1] # this returns 3.1 if item is ('1023', ['Name', '3.1',...

According to your previous post, I think that you are using the "graphics.py" module like this one (http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/). In that case, since p1 and p2 are not numbers but Points,...

I ran pylint (http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint) on this code. Here is the result (note that this depends on my personal configuration of pylint, it may give a different result on your system)
...

Yes, I knew there was a function like this, but I couldn't remember where it was. Thanks.

You can also use format

message = "z's value is {z:0{digits}n}".format(z=2, digits=3)
print(message)

The answer to "Can Python do this ?" is usually Yes.
"I need help" often means it's homework due in 2 hours.

great !

Did you place a 'graphics.py' (good) or a 'graphic.pyc' (bad) in the site-packages folder ? Try to remove the '.pyc' and run again, it may work. Otherwise, you can attach graphics.py to a post, so...

A simple thing to do is to put the file "graphics.py" in a folder named "site-packages" which is a subfolder of your python Lib folder. You should locate it easily on your computer.

Another...

Here is a script which should work for 1 .pdb file and many .pd files. It creates the new versions of the .pd files (with less lines) in a separate output directory. See the usage at the end of the...

You can also do this without a loop

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re

nonletters = re.compile("[^a-zA-Z]+")

def letters_only(mystring):
return nonletters.sub(lambda m: '', mystring)

If you have 10 file1 and 2000 file2, it makes 20000 file3 (output files). You should explain clearly what you want:
* Are the file1 in a separate directory ? How do you recognize that a file is a...
