If there is no space in the rank or name you can do it this simple way: [code=python]mydata = """\ <Ranking: AA (John)> <Ranking: CA (Peter)> <Ranking: TA-A (Samantha)> """ rank_list = [] for line in mydata.split('\n'): print line, line.split() # testing if line: rank_list.append(line.split()[1]) print print rank_list """my result …

The recommended coding style for Python is: Do your imports Define your functions and/or classes Do the main code The bare minimum: Define your functions before you use them in your main code

Call for update() as shown below: [code]from tkinter import * class fb( Frame ): def fastbuttons( self ): b = Button(self) b.grid() self.update() print( b.winfo_ismapped() ) def __init__( self, master=None ): Frame.__init__( self, master ) self.grid( sticky='nsew' ) self.button = Button( self, text='Start', command=self.fastbuttons ) self.button.grid() if __name__ == '__main__': …

The module[B] threading[/B] is the higher level module and actually uses module [B]thread[/B], since that one has the lower level tasks. So one can assume that [B]threading[/B] is somewhat slower in speed, but nicer in syntax. Python3 adds another module called multiprocessing that can take advantage of multiple processsor machines.

Here would be one way to accomplish this: [code=python]mylist = [ ['A', 60], ['B', 40], ['C', 90], ['B', 150], ['C', 230], ['A', 220] ] # convert to dictionary, put collision values into a list mydict = {} for sub in mylist: print sub # testing mydict.setdefault(sub[0], []).append(sub[1]) print print mydict …

Could a counselor substitute for a mentor? Counselors are plentyful, mentors are in very short supply.

A Turk got sore at his harem And thought of a scheme to scare them He caught him a mouse And let it loose in the house The chaos was called a "harem-scarem"

Well, in Python just about anything is an object not just the typical OOP stuff. I assume that your instructor forgot about that and actualy means creating a class Student where each instance is a particular student.

If you search DaniWeb, you will find a whole lot of similar requests about queues, stacks and html tag names. Looks like this homework has been given in the last few weeks to a bunch of folks. The Python manual describes the use of queues in detail. Your problem will …

I was trying to create a 3x3 list of lists, and came up with this surprising behaviour: [code]# creating a 2D list with an overloaded * operator mlist3 = [[0]*3]*3 print mlist3 # [[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]] mlist3[0][0] = 1 print mlist3 # [[1, 0, …

The title is somewhat misleading. You want to add 2.

Get one of the many Python Learning Books they usually have plenty of exercises.

Oh my God! This is just too funny! Nice find AD!

You could do: [code=python]for c in "Hello World": print c , [/code]In Python2 the comma puts in a space and keeps it on the same line.

It's always good to use a few test prints: [code]import operator OPERATORS = { '+': operator.add, '-': operator.sub, '*': operator.mul, '/': operator.div, } class Stack(object): "Creates a stack to enter numbers or operators into" def __init__(self): self.storage = [0,0,0,0] self.sptn = -1 def push(self, item): self.sptn = self.sptn + 1 …

Ah, the pros and cons on posting on an old thread. If you are interested in a regex solution, I would start a new thread and put regex in the title.

A mother and son were walking through a cemetery, and passed by a headstone inscribed "Here lies a good lawyer and an honest man." The little boy read the headstone, looked up at his mother, and asked "Mommy, why did they bury two men there?"

With wxPython code you can give py2exe an XML based manifest to force it to adopt the Windows XP theme.

Looks like one of the 638 web pages is not available. You should use a try/except trap for this case.

Something like that might do. I avoided the use of float() until the end to keep time-stamp and port info from turning into floats: [code=python]raw_data = """\ 501 0 0.932 0.933 0.931 0.931 0.929 0.933 0.93 0.928 501 1 0.974 0.98 0.978 0.976 0.974 0.974 501 2 0.953 0.949 0.944 …

And don't forget to use self to turn those functions into methods for the instance, like def moveup(self):

At first, I would adopt consistent indentations! Very important in Python. Most people use 4 spaces.

To make more sense you should have written your class this way: [code=python]class Animal: def __init__(self, legs): self.legs = legs cow = Animal(4) chicken = Animal(2) octopus = Animal(8) # Bob is a pet chicken with 1 leg missing bob = Animal(1) print( octopus.legs ) # 8 print( chicken.legs ) …

Gribouillis is right, global constants have their place, but like he mentioned, make them stick out. One time when all upper case is appropriate.
