I think that this may simply be the same thing using different logic:
user_input = [ 1, 2, 3 ] #all are integers
int_data = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] #all are integers
for num in user_input:
if num...

Here's some examples of converting between strings, lists, lists of strings, and ints using list, str and int:
>>> usr_inp = '123456'
>>> usr_inp2 = '1,2,3,4,5,6'
>>> list(usr_inp)
['1', '2',...

If you declared the encoding (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/) at the beginning of your program the same way that IDLE does, it would have worked I believe?

Try this trick (I'm assuming you're using Windows)

1) Open up a terminal (command prompt window) Ctrl+R -> cmd -> [Enter]
2) Type/find path to Python executable dir C:\Py* -> [Enter]

And if that's not an option make sure you're both installing and running all these things by right-clicking the executable and selecting "Run as Administrator"

We can't really do your homework for you, but the basics of a while loop are like this.

Just please note that in Python, we use the built-in function dict() to convert certain objects to a dictionary. If you used the above code, you would lose this ability as you're overwriting that...

He also is using parenthesis in his print statements. I'd surmise that he's using Python 3.0, in which case the use of input is the only option. (input has been replaced by raw_input)

EDIT:...

def main():

x = input ("Enter first number: ")

So each record is 4 lines total (with only 3 lines we care about).

Can you give an small snippet of a file with at least two records for example? I envision either simply taking every 4 lines and...

Why not use one that does then?

I use Notepad++, but I know that even python-specific IDEs like PyScripter have parenthesis highlighting, etc. In fact, PyScripter will have a red underline on any...

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.

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...

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:

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:
