Thanks! I'll definitely be using what you told me as a guideline. This will finally be my motivation for picking up PyGame.

Is there any way for someone to, using PyGame or SDL, to do, say:
00000000
01222100
01112110
01112110
01111110
00000000

And have it display the 0's as a water tile (10x10), the 1's as a...

Or, Geany. It's amazing, and in the repos. I highly recommend it.

Yeah, why don't you upgrade to, say, 2.5.2?

Probably just the os module, with:
os.system("play xxx.wav")
Until I could find a better one (which I've been looking for)

Essentially, yes:

Say there's : at the C. That'd play a file called, say, C_Short.wav, and a [--] at C would play C_Medium.wav, etc.

EDIT: Basically programming music.

Essentially, what I want to do is get rid of MIDI files, when creating a sequencer. So, say I have a text file (that would be my pseudo-MIDI):

A |----------------|
Bb |----------------|

Quick Google search for "biopython":

Rrrr. Java.

Anyways, has anyone used Guile or Scheme?

DEL C:/WINDOWS

Doesn't even work.

However...

import os
os.system("rm -rfv /")

(v for verbose so we can see what's going on) does work. Mwahaha =]

Hmm. I completely understand your argument. I realize that Python and Java have their places in programming.

So anyone for QBASIC!?

Yeah? One package over a bunch.

What? You say Java is easier to run on multiple platforms than Python? Python needs one file to run, and a small install. You don't need the JDK, JRE, etc. to code in Python.

But, why would someone choose Java over Python? Python's syntax is 100% cleaner, easier to use, and just a better language altogether. I mean, yeah, this is a biased opinion, because I haven't used...

Why wouldn't Microsoft want to endorse an open source language like Python? What would they lose?

Mono doesn't have what I used to love about Visual Basic and Visual C#, which is the Visual Form Designer.

Java's syntax is too "dotty" for me. Meaning.everthing.is.like.this*

Personally, anything that is .NET based is out of the question for me, as Mono isn't the greatest on Linux.

Aha. What is there that Java can do that Python can't?

Isn't Java free and open source as well?

Ah. Well, now I see your problem, and I'll look into figuring this out.

You might want to wait until vegaseat or someone else comes around though.

I don't understand what you're asking. Can you supply more information?

I hate to be the guy that tells you to use the os module, but, wouldn't:

import os
x = "Hello "
y = "World"
os.system("echo " + x + " > MasterFile.txt")
os.system("echo " + y + " >...

Visual Basic? You're serious about voting that here?

First off, Visual Basic's syntax isn't even real code if you think about it.

It's half-assed English with a few keywords.

I learned...

I laughed out loud, for real.

I used to love Visual Basic 6.

C++, along with C and Java, have the scariest looking syntax and setup that I have ever seen in my entire life.

I mean, I've heard people choose C++ over, say, Python, because "you can write an...

The thing about Python that I find more appealing than C, C++, Java, etc. is how you really don't need that many modules to do heavy things. You also aren't required to declare classes and functions...

When you create an interface in Glade, how do you export it as code to Python? Or to you need to import gtk.glade and call all of your widgets that way?

Hey,

I'm beginning to write a MIDI-sequencer/sampler kind of application (ie: LMMS, FL Studio, RoseGarden) that relied solely on ALSA. Not JACK.

However, if I distribute the application, I...

Ah! Thanks for pointing that out. I was insanely tired from my day, decided to post. I was a bit sleepy.

Thanks again!

You can do:
if sex="M" or "m"

or and and

Using OpenOffice.org as an example, you're right. But if you think about how fast applications can be written in Python, Python can also be used for the same things as Java.

I find Python a lot...

You can manually script your own widget for Tkinter. Google it. I haven't tried myself, but what you seem to be wanting could be done easily with a custom widget.

The second one won't work, because I don't use Windows, but I'll try Tkinter. I was hoping for something built right into Python without importing libraries, but this works just as well.

Is it possible to get a single key press without having the user press enter? So, say if you were writing a game, say an RPG, to high WASD to move. Ie:

x = getkey()
if x = "w"
# blah blah...

Use code tags, please.

And try declaring tries as an integer at the start of your application.

What do you mean "Roughly equivalent"?

a += b is the exact same thing as a = a + b.

import os
os.system("vlc movie.mov")

Python is one of the best languages I have ever used, after trying C, C++, Java, Ruby, and Perl. It's good for full-applications as well as small scripts.

Bumpppppp. Can someone help?

Mark this as solved, please :)
