Use replace to swap out the punctuation for an empty string (''). Then use upper on both the original and the reversed string when you compare them so that the cases are the same.

Your real problem is that you're using IDLE.

Your best bet is to switch to a better-featured (not to mention better-designed) IDE and run your scripts directly using python.exe or pythonw.exe

We're not here to do your homework for you. But good job on copy-pasting your assignment.

Dear MasterofPuppets,
You shouldn't be spoon feeding people looking for us to do their homework for...

How about instead of just generating an arbitrary StaticText object, assign it to a persistent member of your class (let's call it self.login_status_text). Then instead of generating it each time,...

Okay, you've solved your own problem you just don't even realize it yet. The circle function is looking for the values you suggested above. Everything you've provided is correct except the...

See my above post

The same way you create any .exe, using py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/)! Search this forum for examples of setting up a setup file.

If you're looking for native-looking windows apps you'll want to go with wxPython. This is a Python class wrapper for the wx.widgets toolkit, which is cross-platform and extremely powerful.

So if getpos() is a function for a class object, then you forgot the most important detail. The parameter self!

Your function should be defined as such:
def getpos(self):
r1 = x,y =...

It will be way simpler to use string formatting like so:

>>> print '%04X' % 16
0010
>>> print '%04X' % 245
00F5
>>> print '%04X' % 1024
0400
>>> print '%04X' % 4096
1000

You've simply forgotten to put the value of results into the string. Instead you mistakenly typed the name results. Here's how you should use string formatting to add the value:
...

In the if statement you are using w[i+5].

This means that you need to make sure the maximum i plus 5 does not go out of bounds for the string. Let me demonstrate:

>>> w = 'aabbccdd'
>>> print...

Or IBM...

Basically you have to iterate over your "split" coefficients and then perform float conversion on each one independently. When you split them they return a list, which you'll be doing your iteration...

Why yes, that is poorly coded. Good thing this is Python!

>>> x != 1 and x != 2 and x != 3
True
>>> x not in [1,2,3]
True
Data validation is extremely important for code that is...

The best beginner's language is Assembly code. It will teach you how amazingly convenient a high level language like Python is.

That is sarcasm, but just read my response to this post in the...

This (http://docs.python.org/library/cgi.html#installing-your-cgi-script-on-a-unix-system) should help. Don't ever underestimate the power of documentation.

I don't see any reason why you should skip your high school's C++ classes; however realize that your high school career doesn't really impact your job opportunities as much as your college career.

This code has a lot of room for improvement. It would benefit you to read up on classes (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html)and functions...

Can you explain what the bug is? Each call worked and printed "This is Test2's method."

What was the expected output?

EDIT: I think I understand now. You're saying the real program that you...

Unless you run your script on a compatible platform, you will not be able to experience the joy of curses, no. If you're on windows you can either download and burn a linux live CD to boot from...

You'll find it all here (http://www.pygame.org/news.html). Download pygame, tutorials, code examples, everything.

there's also a number of threads about pygame in this very forum. Just search...

The platform can be simplified to mean your operating system. If you load up a python interpreter try the following exercise:

You're not an idiot, you're learning! It's good that you've solved your own problem. I actually just read an article about how a programming instructor put a teddy bear on his desk.

I'm not sure if this has been fixed or not (perhaps you're using a newer version of Python where this bug has been eliminated) but when I use your path.join this is what I get:

You're likely getting an exception. When an exception is raised, the program quits.

The best way to catch the traceback is to open your own command prompt and run the program that way.

That's because curses isn't available for Windows. The documentation should probably specifically say that, but they actually just tip-toe around that fact:[Source = PyDocs...

It would be easier for us to help if you gave us just the barebones code that produces this abnormality. Most users won't have every single one of those modules and it would be cumbersome to...

Actually, it is printing the current value of name. The employee.name is always a space (' '), because you never change it. In your get_details function, you have created a new variable called name...

In that case you'll want this:

c.execute("INSERT INTO a (Category, Value) VALUES (%s, %s)", tuple(row[0].split()))

Basically this takes the element [0], which represents that string 'test...

According to your explanation:

If you need something else you'll need to explain what you're trying to do and give some context. If you really want some code written for...

You should uncomment your commit statement. You need to commit your transactions before they go through.

Here, try this (http://tinyurl.com/yk7stjg)

Alternately you could use modulus division like this:

>>> f = 123.456
>>> ipart = int(f)
>>> fpart = f % 1
>>> ipart
123
>>> fpart
0.45600000000000307

To do it the way you're trying to do it, use this:

>>> num = 0
>>> mylist = []
>>>
>>> while num < 10:
... num += 1
... mylist += [num]
...
>>> for item in mylist:

Or what about using chr() and then just adding 65?:

>>> def numtolet(num):
... return chr(num + 65)
...
>>> numtolet(1)
'B'
>>> numtolet(12)
'M'
>>> numtolet(14)

You need to pass a second parameter to the open function which will declare the mode that you're opening the file in. Default (no parameter as in your case) is read mode or 'r'. You want either...

Eval is what you're looking for:
>>> sports = [1,23,4]
>>> eval( 'sports' )
[1, 23, 4]

Like this: my_boolean = False. Now the variable named my_boolean will act as your "flag" to tell you whether a number is "lucky" or not.
