Call for update() as shown below:
from tkinter import *

class fb( Frame ):
def fastbuttons( self ):
b = Button(self)
b.grid()
self.update()
print(...

Well, in Python just about anything is an object not just the typical OOP stuff. I assume that your instructor forgot about that and actualy means creating a class Student where each instance is a...

Okay, this might even be mildly better:
import string
a = list(string.ascii_lowercase + "!@#$%^&*()-+={}|\/?><,.'") + range(1, 10)

print a
For Python3 change to list(range(1, 10)). Oh, the...

Also the OP didn't want a zero in the digits part. :)

It's always good to use a few test prints:
import operator

OPERATORS = {
'+': operator.add,
'-': operator.sub,
'*': operator.mul,
'/': operator.div,
}

Well, you could do something like this:
# File_lister2.py
# create a list of all the files and sizes in a given direcory
# and optionally any of its subdirectories (Python2 & Python3)
# snee
...

You could do:
for c in "Hello World":
print c ,
In Python2 the comma puts in a space and keeps it on the same line.

You are somewhat confused about functions.

I made an attempt on user friendly data entry with just such a simple temperature converter program, see:

And don't forget to use self to turn those functions into methods for the instance, like
def moveup(self):

Something like that might do. I avoided the use of float() until the end to keep time-stamp and port info from turning into floats:
raw_data = """\
501 0 0.932 0.933 0.931 0.931 0.929 0.933...

With wxPython code you can give py2exe an XML based manifest to force it to adopt the Windows XP theme.

Like gerard4143 says, you have to make the print statement part of the function, since Tf is local to the function. The other option would be to return Tf to make it available outside the function:...

Gribouillis is right, global constants have their place, but like he mentioned, make them stick out. One time when all upper case is appropriate.

Some simple changes will do:
comments = []
inComment = False
for i, line in enumerate(open(filename)):
if "//***" in line:
inComment = not inComment
elif inComment: # changed...

If you are new to Python, I wouldn't 'putz' around with old Python2. There are simply too many things that Python3 has to offer. Otherwise, after a few years you will be stuck with old Python2 code...

Should you decide to have fun with Python, be aware that the language has been modernized starting with version 3. I would recommend to start with the present version Python 3.1.1

Some examples...

The binary windows installer of Pyhon26 or Python31 both have tkinter. In fact in Python31 Tkinter has been spruced up with the module ttk.

Vegaseat left this example somewhere on this forum:...

You have to read up on the slicing operator in the Python Manual.

Generally you can slice a sequence with [start: end: step]
By default start=0, end=len(seq), step=1
step=-1 goes from the end to...

Oops, DaniWeb is behaving goofy and made two copies of my code!

I would stay away from module cturtle and use Python's own thoroughly tested module turtle. Here is a small code sample that shows you how to handle the turtle direction properly:
import math...

If you are used to Python2 code, then Python3 is full of surprises. However they all make the language better! So, keep an open mind, use the 2to3.py utility and try to make the old code work.

This approach should work:
#

def replace_one_two(name):
"""Switch letters in 2nd and 3rd position"""
left = name[1]
right = name[2]
name.remove(left)
name.remove(right)...

Grid does not have anchor, but it has sticky:
rb[i].grid(row=i, column=0, sticky='w')

Courier is the most common font to space all character equal.

Right now you simply have to use one of the many image view utilities to convert your jpg files to gif files.

How about a blank icon as a spacer? Or maybe just a label with a few spaces?

Something like ...
toolbar.AddSimpleTool(wx.ID_SAVE, self.getBMP(wx.ART_FILE_SAVE),
"Save", " Save the text file")
... shows you the text "Save" as a popup hint

I don't understand how you go from :
(4, 22, 51): 3
to:
4 22 7 51

I don't understand what you are asking for. Could you explain, maybe give a short example?

PMW has not been updated since 2007. Do you really want to go with this stale old thing?

Is the directory there and do you have access to it?

# optionally scroll to the bottom of the listbox
lines = listbox.size()
listbox.yview_scroll(lines, 'units')

Most likely maintenance time, those are scheduled most often on weekends.

Just a note:
avoid using 'file' for an identifier, since it is a built-in Python function.

If Sound Recorder has a command-line option, then you can send the arguments along to start it etc.

Your carlist is a list of instances of the class carType. To compare the car's name you have to use the instance.name as shown here:
class carType:
def __init__(self, name, brand, price):

You post makes no sense to me!
