I tried to make a leet speak converter, but it outputs characters that I don't even tell it to..

This is what I mean:

(Test run)
Enter something to convert to L337 5P34K: Hi, how are you?...

I am wanting to create a program that everytime I run it, it gets the current playing tune in iTunes, and sets this as my Facebook status:

"I'm listening to current_playing_song, corrent_artist."...

I really have no idea why it is doing this, here is the gamemain.py file that is causing the error:


from useful import *

class Menus():
def __init__(self):
pass

def...

woooee: I right clicked on the error in the python shell, and clicked "Go to file/line" and it took me to the line where I had "Item", but it was telling me that I had spelt it as "item", then when I...

Hi

I am making a text game, and I have made up a basic framework.

I have 2 questions

1) Sometimes, the python interpreter bugs out, like saying that I misspelt a variable 'Item' as 'item'...

Nah, I tested it just then, by opening the same python program twice, and 2 terminal windows showed up :)

I could have one .exe which opens the other 2..

What about:

The main program constantly writes to a file the stats of a player, and i write another program to output that stuff

Would it work?

I am making a text game, and what I want it to have one console window for showing the game, then another one next to it showing the players stats.

Is this possible ??

I want to sort a dictionary, say that it was like this:


a_dict = {'2':12354, '1':12355432, '4':35342, '3':858743}


How would I be able to sort it so it's like this:


a_dict =...

Thanks guys, it turns out that I had to only put the function name, not call the function. :)

When I run this code:


import wx

ID_FILE_QUIT = 101

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, title=title)

Thanks! :)

How would I round a number to the nearest multiple of 10?

Oh ok cool. I understand that everything in python is an object.

Whenever I run this code, it always returns an empty list, can someone tell me why this is happening?

for your code, you would have to hade done x = None
what i want is to check if a var has been defined

How do I check if a variable exists?

def prints(value, ..., seps='', ends='\n', files=sys.stdout):
print(value, sep=seps, end=ends, file=files)

print = prints


Would this permently overwrite print or just overwrite it while...

So input() in python 3 returns a string?

Thanks now it works!

it prints them ontop of eachother, because at the end of each print() in the loop, print() automatically prints a newline, to get rid of this just go print('*', end='')

i am running the worldloader.py file

First of all, you don't have to do int(input()) because input() returns a number anyway.

And you should start with better explaining the rest of the problem

i tried what it said on the site but it didn't work
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:/Tom's Personal Project/engine/world/worldloader.py", line 6, in <module>
import...

How do you specify a certain path for the import thing to import?

such as
import "E:\Tom's Personal Project\engine\shared.py"

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hey thanks everyone, it turns out that I didn't install it properly :P

Is there a different version if IDLE for Python 3.0(Python 300, Py3k)?? If there is, how do I download it?

i am making a game and i am getting a strange error
heres the relevant code


items = {'sword':['sword', 3, 15],
'axe':['axe', 5, 25],
'bow and arrow':['bow and...

I also enjoyed this and I'm making my own as well! Thanks for the idea!

Hmm I've already tried that

You might have to add the PyGame directory, or the python directory to the systems PATH variable, just google "Windows PATH variable" and you should be able to find out how.
You would just add the...

Is there a module for a camera in PyGame, because I want the camera to follow an image, thanks.

Yeah thanks that exactlly what I meant, I also want another seperate image for the background that has nothing to do with the movement of the player, it's just for show, but I know how to use that. :)

I am using pygame
I want my program to read an image file that only has black on it and whenever the character moves over a part that has black on it, he stops moving, any ideas on how to get...

Thank you, that got rid of the error, but my file parser is wrong so it always returns corrupted.

This is the contents of the tpp.ini file:


map = test.png
collision = test_collision.png
playername = defaultplayer
[END_OF_FILE]

This is my code:


def load_ini():
fout = open('tpp.ini', 'r')
fout.seek(0)
lines = fout.readlines()
p_map = re.compile('map = (.*)')
p_collision = re.compile('collision...

How do I search a string for anything?

What I mean is, I need to say:


if line == 'playername = (any name)':
temp = line.strip().replace('playername=', '')
return temp

How do you render a font so that it changes when the variable changes?
