It should be simple with Python's gstreamer interface. http://pygstdocs.berlios.de/

Not enough info for anyone to help (could be an indentation error, or could be in the calcs). First add some print statements for the individual calcs to isolate the error, and post the specific...

Do you have to use something like queue_draw() to update the widget? The pygtk.org site has been down for 2 days now, so can't look it up, but try it and see.

Just write a simple program using...

finderGuess = finderGuess - ((((finderGuess*((1+finderGuess)^numberMonths))/(((1+finderGuess)^numberMonths)-1))-
(monthlyPayment/loanAmount))/(((((1+finderGuess)^numberMonths)-1)
...

There are several online pages to do that.

Your program works correctly, at least...

All data is binary. That's the way the computer does it. I am assuming that you mean bytes that are not text. If you look at an ASCII table like this one http://www.asciitable.com/ it becomes...

Wouldn't this lead to an infinite loop. def Prime(x,y):
n=2
if x == 1:
Prime(x+1,y)
elif x == 2:
print (2)
Prime(x+1,y)
elif x <= 0:
print ("Number must...

On average, cell phone users in the United States buy new gear every 18 months. In Japan, it's about 9 months. In Europe, cell phone users get new phones every year.

Take on something that is easier first. If you have no idea at all on how to start, then there is little that anyone can do.

Start with something like this (Not Tested).energyFile = open("EnergySources.csv","r")
state_dict = {}
for line in energyFile:
line = line.strip()
fields = line.split(",")
state =...

Since you are using python 2.x, this won't work. Test this code by entering "R1" and "1/01/2000" and see what happens ( and look at "Is there an easy way to do user input in python?" here...

Double post, sorry.

Some corrections to get you started, provided the indentation is correct.def encrypted_message():
## "message" has not been defined in this function
char = message
encrypted_message =...

You want to use "readlines()",as readline reads one line at a time, where readlines() reads all data. Also, a print statement is added for clarity.records = open(grades.txt,'r').readlines()
table =...

And it's not tough to do. import Tkinter

root = Tkinter.Tk()
root.title('Canvas')
canvas = Tkinter.Canvas(root, width=450, height=450)

canvas.create_oval(100,50,150,100, fill='gray90')

x =...

If you don't know how to open and read a text file, then look at one of the online tutorials like here http://effbot.org/zone/readline-performance.htm Then get the input from the user, etc. ...

This is very simple to do. print len(set([1,2,4,2,7]))

Google came up with this site which has a link to download source code. I hope you didn't pay $99.95 for the book! http://www.jbpub.com/catalog/9780763746025/

First, you have to decide which GUI toolkit you want to use. Here's an example Google found using Tkinter http://code.activestate.com/recipes/124894/

You can modify it on startup by adding PYTHONPATH to your ~/.bash.rc file, or create one if you don't have it.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/add:/second/path

When validating, you want to include, not exclude. So you want a list of data that is acceptable, and the input has to be in the list. That way, when another unit or type of data is introduced it...

Always use absolute path+file names.filePath = "Dataset/parameter feature vectors"
for fname in os.listdir(filePath):
complete_name = os.path.join(filePath, fname)
data_str =...

Since you are testing 6 letters total, you want to use "len(w)-5" so you won't run out of letters. To set up an example using "aabbcc" as the simplest example, you only want the for loop to test the...

You want to use a class structure for this, so each player can be an instance of the same class, and divide the code into several small functions. if numatt not in [1,2,3]:
raise...

Alternatives would be: while (play_choice < 1) or (play_choice > 3):

while play_choice not in [1, 2, 3]:

# Also, you can use .lower instead of 2 compares
while play_again.lower() == 'y'':

You can set the encoding for the file
fp = codecs.open('test', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')

Or you can change the default encoding for the system
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

You may have...

You'll have to post your code as no one can tell what to do without code (Doh). If you are using a function, the function would return the length which would then be compared with the existing...

Using for() loops is easier. This is somewhat of a brute force method but works fine for smaller lists. L1=[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9],[10,11,12]]
L2=[1,2,3,4,11]
L3=[]

for number in L2:

This is a modified version of your program that prints what you expect. I am not sure if it is what you want or not. def tryit(start, end):
number = start
## number >= start

Roman to integer. Note that it will take something like XXIXV and convert it. If someone already has a routine to check for valid input, please post it. And I'm afraid we've just eliminated one...

I'll save the pun for one of your posts. And it's now too late to change it. Oh well, we'll just have to let this thread wind down the list into obscurity.

You can pipe top to a file on Linux and then read the file.

Apparently you can use WMI for MS WIndows but I have not used it http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi_cookbook.html#running_processes

Please ass "Solved" to the thread title so no one else wastes their time on this.

Dictionaries are indexed via a hash and so make it easy to look up things, in this case the stock symbol, without going through the sub-strings in each list. Also, they provide a convenient way to...

Can you use a list instead of all of those variables? Otherwise, try the code below which tests each button individually instead of the confusing and, and, or, etc. in your code. Speaking of...

Doug Hellmann has excellent write ups. http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/

As far as books go, I like "Dive into Python" http://diveintopython.org/native_data_types/index.html#odbchelper.dict

This is a forum for the Python programming language. Your question should be asked at the swarmplayer site, or on a board for the distro that you are using.

This will get you started, but a dictionary would work much better for this. elif stChoice == 2:
for stock_list in portfolio:
print "symbol = %s for %s" % (stock_list[1], stock_list[0])...

longLength = 0
for i in range(startNum, stopNum + 1):
longLength = hailstone(i)
if i >= longLength:
longLength = i

This appears to work, but is still rough and just a proof of concept. It adds the unit to a dictionary as it's arrive time is reached, so that any finished units can be deleted from the dictionary...
