After you got the basics of Python under your belt, the best way to get a good knowledge of the language and improve your coding skills is to start on a project you are interested in. Maybe an image viewer, a slide show, computer generated random or fractal art, a …

Here is a plan for a (relatively) random numeric dictionary I've put together. I'm hoping that people can help me refine the plan so that I can start incremental coding: #! usr/bin/env python # creates a random dictionary from random import randint # user inputs maximum length of dictionary # …

"Active cracking" means indirectly changing a plaintext message so that it becomes a totally different, plaintext message that says something totally different but still makes sense, by creating a brand new encryption key that is applied to the ciphertext itself and changes the ciphertext rather than the original plaintext. I …

I can't find anything to help me out on this method of sorting. How do I do it?

Last week I bought a new [Lonovo G505 laptop](http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g505/) for the purpose of installing Linux. After removing Windows 8 I tried to install three different linux distributions, none of them worked. None had a compatible wifi device driver, and none of them could start the X server after installation was …

The Software Manager offered both python-tk and python3-tk for install, so I installed both. The latter permits me to import tkinter as a whole, while the former does not. Instead, the python 2.x version chopped tkinter up into several submodules that must be imported separately, which is a major nuisance. …

def main(): print ('Welcome to the mpg calculator program') print() #get the miles driven using the input function miles_driven = input ("Please enter miles driven: ") miles_driven = float (miles_driven) #get the gallons used using the input function gallons_used = input ("Please enter gallons used: ") galons_used = float (gallons_used) …

develop a program which asks for a name and a password,and prints an acceptance message if the name is "aladdin" and the password is "sesane".the program should print a reject message in all other cases.this should be achived by combining the two tests into one using the "and"key word

This error frustrates me when I want to iterate over the elements of a set, for example when trying to convert the set to a list. How do I get around it?

As I've learned more about basic console Python script writing, I've had a look at both Tkinter and GTK+...and, at first glance, I like GTK+ better. Which do you guys prefer, and why?

Which of these is the best practice for executable Linux scripts: #! usr/bin/env python #! usr/bin/python #! usr/bin/env python3 #! usr/bin/python3 All four of them work just fine on my system, so I'm looking for the best practice. Thanks.

This code: def reverse(x): for i in range(len(x)): y[i] = x[-(i+1)] return y a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] b = reverse(a) returns a "global variable 'y' not defined" error. WHAT GLOBAL VARIABLE????? If I add 'y = []' anywhere in the code, either inside the function or outside …

I had a function all by itself in the file [filename].py, and the file was properly executable. This is how people advised me to call it externally: import func func.[filename]() But I was getting errors all over the place. So I contacted Python help and they told me something different, …

Okay, so cryptography is insanely well developed and I'm not doing anything new here, but I still thought I'd monkey around with a cryptography project. Here's what I want it to do: 1) generate an encryption and decryption key that is randomly between 20 and 40 digits long and contains …

Suppose you have this file named func.py: def func(x): y = raw_input(x) return y func(z) And then you have this calling code: z = raw_input('Type a request for input and hit enter: ') omega = execfile('func.py') print(omega) Why does the output always end up being "None?"

Here is exercise in error handling, while looping and for looping with itertools.chain. It is also exercise of functions not letting user to go without giving proper input. I call them to myself 'jail functions'. Here you could add as an exercise breaking out of loop and continuing until user …
