Assuming you are using Python2, you could do it like this:
print("Enter zero for the value you are looking for:")

s = d = t = 0

while True:

s = input("Speed (miles/hour): ")
d =...

Thanks for the info jlm699!

There must be something wrong at sourceforge, right now every download request for wxpython2.8 flips into the wxPython2.7.1.2 page :)

This direct link may work:...

Forgot to mention this, but I also corrected line 10 to:

self.fileMenu.Append(ID_FILE_QUIT, '&Quit\tCtrl+Q')

Zetlin, your code was almost there:
def test():
number = input("Number: ")
scale = range(1, number+1)
total = 0
for count in scale:
n = count * 20
print n
...

I ran this from the IDLE editor:
s = u'Rash\u00f4mon'
print s # --> Rashômon

a = u'\u00bfC\u00f3mo es usted?'
print a # --> ¿Cómo es usted?

Use something like this:
s = "Function1 (text1) (text2) (text3) [text4]"

print s.count('(')
print s.count(')')
print s.count('[')
print s.count(']')

You could use / both Windows and Unix allow that.

Python code is actually very similar to your Perl code, just a bit more readable:
# Convert string "HelloPythonWorld" to "HELLO_PYTHON_WORLD"

s1 = "HelloPythonWorld"
s2 = ""
for index, c in...

If paulthom12345's suggestion does not fix your problem, try to bind this way:
import wx

ID_FILE_QUIT = 101

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, title):
...

Try to change your print line to:
print ("The sum of "+str(a)+" and "+str(b)+" is: "+str(a+b))
or even better:
print ("The sum of %s and %s is: %s " % (a, b, (a+b)))

Now remember in Python2...

Try this:

num = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
print sum(num)

This will give you an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<module1>", line 23, in <module>
File "<module1>", line 21, in test
TypeError: test() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

You could also make up your time string this way:
import time

time_str = time.strftime("%A %B %d %Y %H hours %M minutes and %S seconds",
time.localtime())

print time_str # Monday...

Oh yeah, like:
print 'racecar' == 'racecar'[::-1] # True
:)

You might have to uninstall a partially installed version of eric before reinstalling. I would stick with an IDE that uses wxPython as its GUI toolkit, like DrPython, Boa or PythonWin.

This is something similar to what you coded. I didn't use the 'clear the screen' thingy because that would make it OS specific, and our instructor says that it is better to leave a record on the...

I am primarily using C# (that's what my school uses), but enjoy looking into Python code. I am looking at the many code samples shown here, and find them so much easier to understand and read than...

I had the same problem until I figured out that the Text widget width is in characters and the height in text lines. Makes it easier for text, but harder for overall sizing.

I am a little confused with the 'string.split(s)' I thought it was more like s.split():
s = "Just a test string"
words = s.split()
print words
Are there different versions of Python floating...

Sounds interesting, so i put it all together:
message = "just a simple test!"
key = 11
coded_message = ""
for ch in message:
code_val = ord(ch) + key
if ch.isalpha():
