As woooee already mentioned, don't use the Python Shell (has those screwy looking >>> prompts) for writing programs. The Shell is only used for testing small parts of code.

Which version of Python are you using?

Using Python2 you would use something like this to create an array of names. Generally Python uses lists for arrays.

Don't forget to set a and b to zero outside the loop.

You might want to use bind() rather then the command arg. Take a look at:

In all fairness to snippsat, he did point out that DaniWeb contains a fair number of well commented PyQT examples to study and experiment with.

Actually 22/7 is pretty crude. The Chinese Approximation of pi is much better. Simply use 355/113. You can remember this by looking at the first three odd integers written this way 113355.

You pass variables as need as function arguments and/or returns.

I tend to agree with Gribouillis. As your program grows you can split out some classes in a linear fashion. Later on, as the bugs are worked out, turn them into modules
