you could try eclipse, with some plug-in if you want a fully featured IDE.

what i do personally, is usually use it notepad++, which provides basic syntax highlighting. in a learning process there...

it's ususally the simple "bugs/fixes" that are the hardest to see because they are simply overlooked. good luck with the GUI, unfortunately i haven't dealt with python GUIs before, but i'm sure...

just move the entry/start point of your game into a function, and then at the end of that function (even after) you can give the use the option to "play again".

i think you need some actuals specs, because simply creating a file called with the extension .html is "creating a web site".

you have the while loop, which us going to act as your loop. the problem however is that you never query the user for x again. if you read the code, you are going to ask the user for y/n, but never...

I assume you are able to copy this using explorer? anyway, look up the api on how to use the copytree method.

what permission error does it give? and only on windows?

from the api, copy should only have a file as its source so you shouldn't be able to copy folders using it. maybe shutil.copytree is what...

your code execution starts from while True: (and since you had #main, it seems you understand that). read your code from that point onwards, where ever would health change?

where do you call your functions?

what happens when you run the code? it "should" hit the while and continuously print (you have an infinite loop there). if you are not getting into a infinite loop, numrows_user is probably not set...

still has nothing to do with python

why is this in the python forum?

I highly doubt he wants your code to match his, the chance of code being identical is usually rare and should raise concerns of plagarism. Anyway, have you got any further?

Is this a programming course or a business course? If it is a programming course, I think "exactly like that" is taking him too literally, as learning looping/control is much better than trying to...

sum(sequence)

you are not giving it a sequence

it looks like you are missing that particular library on your machine. i think you will probably be able to download a copy of MSVCR90.dll (google) and place it into your libraries folder, which...

I think you will find a math library for python (I am not 100% on this, but it would make sense). If you look through it, it will also probably have some random function. If it is like most random...

I've replied and fixed it up for you. There were 2 issues I fixed:
1. def means defining a function, not calling, so "def main:" should only appear once in your code
2. you didn't have any function...

nope, before main you will see "def". This means that everything within the block (in jython the block will be defined with indenting) belongs to "main". So you need to define your functions...

Ok, so your program is going to end when it has no code left to execute (which you probably already know). For you to get the behaviour explained above, you will probably need to execute parts of the...

That looks great, I ran it quickly and it works well.

You shouldn't look to me for directions, they are in your problem definition. If I were solving this problem, I would probably next look at...

Ok, well you not going to be convincing me to do your assignment for you, but I am happy to help. Once you start producing code, I can help you with more specific issues.

Anyway, basic of basics:...

you are trying to do [30] - int,

perhaps you want to get the value from the list, not the list itself.

Leave the graphics till last. First, create a program which is able to read / write to the command-line e.g. ask a question, recieve an answer. If you get that working, adding the random aspect and...

I don't see any reason this isn't possible, but what does "html parameters" mean? If you pass it html, why not just write html to begin with?

Sorry, I don't really understand what you mean. Could you explain your problem clearer?

Take your time and think through what is happening. You have a break, which has no condition, and so will ALWAYS be called. This means the code after the break is not going to be called.

I have a feeling you are trying to get solutions the easy way, I don't completely understand the program you are creating, and unfortunately I don't really want to. You should give it more of a...

loop:
x = some calculation
if (x > y):
break
y = x
#endLoop

doomsday + 3 == march4

I am not even sure this line is valid, but "march4" means nothing here. It has no value, the program isn't able to "guess" what "march4" is supposed to be.

perhaps you can make your life easier by naming your variables a little more meaningfully, e.g. "current", "previous". In any case, during your iterations, at some stage you want "previous" to store...

I don't see you defining "march4" at all, it needs to have some value to be comparable.

simply introduce another variable, e.g. "y". keep track of the current value and also the value of the previous iteration, just make sure you set each of the values at appropriate times.

myInterpretter.exec("import java.util")

Not too sure what you are trying to do here. You should be able to simply use:

import java.util

Jython is python with access to java packages.

Surely you have not tried to write your own, in the 5 minutes from my last post. Write some code, try it, if it doesn't work, post it and then we can help you more.

The os library will include the methods you need to create such a function.

Take a look at http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/os-file-dir.html
