Not really sure what exactly you're trying to do...

I say just ignore the thing until it crawls back under the bridge. It cannot be reasoned with.

Okay, I didn't read much of what was said (I tend not to pay much attention to fanboys). But anybody who says things like "Anyone who has a good understanding of operating systems in addition to...

I can tell already that you won't have much luck with Linux.

bytes, as they exist in Python 3.1 are conceptually new to Python (starting with version 3). This isn't to say that 8-bit strings didn't exist before in the form of regular text strings. Note the...

I happen to think this behavior is consistent (with indexing and slicing rules).

Here's why it makes sense:

bytes and str are not the same. They aren't even conceptually the same.

A bytes...

Look, not to be harsh or anything, but given you previous posts I think you would be better off reading a book or a wiki or even just a tutorial on Python OOP and maybe Python in general. Really.

No, please don't do that.

That is okay if the page you are reading is encoded in ascii or utf-8. But if it is encoded in latin-1 (a fairly common encoding in its own right), you can run into...

wtf?

Damn, you're ugly. The both of you.

It's a little sad that some people are still holding onto the idea that Vista is what XP was. ME, perhaps, but not XP. Even Microsoft sees Vista as a failure. Sure Vista introduces some nice things,...

Joking aside, there really is no point to insisting on the use of int main as opposed to void main.


void main()
{
printf("hello world!\n");
}


is just as valid a program as

It's time to get that stick out of your butt and start using it. So what if the standard says so? You're only writing code for Windows anyway (and if you aren't, the chances that someone else is even...

Well, I'm not Dan, but here's a little hack adapted from http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/15834-eject-close-cd-tray.aspx for Python. It's only two lines of code!
To open:

import ctypes...

That's one reason not to sign.

Give Google control of my desktop? I'm too paranoid for that.

I remember the first time I saw Misty from pokemon. It was love at first sight. With her skinny jeans and legs like an eight year old. But it's the triangle face that really got me (so hawt!). And...

Aw hell nah. I'm not gonna debug that for you. But, is this supposed to be a game? Why isn't it interactive? If it is, how do I play it? I actually love this silly game.

I hate you.

Try:


import urllib
import os
import time

open_file=open('html.html','r')
file=open_file.read()

Something to note though, Windows 7 is definitely not faster than XP (not comparable to XP speeds either). It won't run well on XP class hardware. That said, if you still have XP class hardware...

If you want to just find out if one string is contained inside another:

If you want to find out how many occurrences of one string there are in another:

I'm afraid I have to retract my original opinion about this film.

The best way I think is to get a solid foundation in Python 2. That and read up a bit on unicode. Once done, you can just read the "What's new in python 3" page (Google it) and learn everything there...

Dude, you really should learn to pronounce his name right.

Here's an example of a basic window frame in pyQT.

You can get pyQT from here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download

You need to get out more.

One of the best nuggets of wisdom I ever got about using Ubuntu (and other Debian based systems) is learn to use apt.

I suppose it applies to whatever package manager that your distribution...

No. That would suggest that the older you are, the more you know, which is just not true.

Case in point: you're older than I am.

You better hope windowsrefund doesn't find this thread.

Do you mean like:


import random


def sample(items, amount):
if amount > len(items):
raise ValueError("Amount incorrect")
r = set()

Having wxPython installed on a server is pointless. Why? Because when it displays the GUI, nobody sees it.

I think the original poster needs to clarify his/her intentions.

replace print i with print "*" * i. You may need to initialize i to 1 instead of 0.

EDIT:

Actually, that's the easy way out. The other way which might be the one your tutor is looking for...

You can take out the entire else part of the statement statement; the else and elif parts of an if statement are optional.

Another way is the pass keyword. Use it to get out of a block that you...

take the initializers and put them inside the function body, so that you have:


def sum(n):
i = 0
total = 0
...rest of your code starting with while statement


Although, I have...
