Pass the "driver" to a class function which appends to the list. The same for deleting from the list. You should try to keep all methods within the class.

squares() never saves or prints the perfect squares within the while loop, (or tests if the arg "num" is ever found as a perfect square if that is what you want to do. I can't tell as there are no comments in the code). Add a print statement which will …

Next, read each record in the file and print it. After that, split each record and print that. Then decide how you can use this data.

A simple example using Tkinter's after feature. You would probably want after to call a clean-up function to check for partial entries, etc., and then call quit(). [CODE]import Tkinter class TestClass(): def __init__(self): self.top = Tkinter.Tk() self.top.title("Test of Timing") self.top.geometry("200x150+10+10") label_1 = Tkinter.Label(self.top, text="Timer Test ").pack(side="left" ) entry_1 = Tkinter.Entry(self.top, …

At one time there was a third party package named BitBuffer to work with binary files. I don't know if it is still around and maintained or not.

You have to kill the process, and how you do that is dependent on the OS you are using. You should use subprocess instead (see os.kill() at [URL=http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/subprocess/index.html#module-subprocess]Doug Hellmann's site[/URL]).

And/or is two different things. If you want "a" or "b" then if either one is true the code is executed (the other can be false). If you want "a" and "b", the code is executed only if both are true. "And" is the same as two if() statements, "or" …

There are several different ways to do this. One is a dictionary pointing to a list that contains the number of records found for the key, and the thresholds found to test if greater than (if I am reading the question correctly). You could also use two dictionaries, one as …

You can use update_idletasks() [CODE]import time from Tkinter import * class MyApp: def __init__(self, parent): self.myParent = parent ### (7) remember my parent, the root self.myContainer1 = Frame(parent) self.myContainer1.pack() self.button1 = Button(self.myContainer1) self.button1.configure(text="Button") self.button1.pack() self.button1.bind("<Button-1>", self.button1Click) self.lbl = Label(self.myContainer1) self.lbl.pack() self.button2 = Button(self.myContainer1) self.button2.configure(text="Quit", background="red") self.button2.pack() self.button2.bind("<Button-1>", self.button2Click) def button1Click(self, …

[QUOTE]time.sleep(), however, pauses the entire .py, rendering the ping/pong lines irrelevant and ultimately leading to a ping timeout.[/QUOTE]If I understand the question, you would use threading or multiprocessing to run the code that you don't want to sleep/pause. Since it runs as a separate process, time.sleep() won't affect it.

You want to associate each button with a Tkinter StringVar. That way, you set (change) the contents of the StringVar and it is automatically displayed on the screeen. This is the start of a Tic-Tac_Toe game, to test button use, that I never finished. It uses a dictionary to keep …

You can also use some indicator that switches on and off for print positive or negative. [CODE]counter=1 positive = True while counter < 9: if positive: print counter else: print counter * -1 counter += 1 positive = not positive ## switch it [/CODE]

Sub/superscript is done by the program displaying the text, and different programs have different ways of doing it. The Tkinter text widget, for example, uses offset (positive is super, negative is sub).

I assume that you open the port, send the string, and read any returned bytes somewhere else in the code. Check out the PySerial [URL=http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/shortintro.html]intro[/URL] and see if it would work for you.

It apparently thinks that self.myranks[kitten] or [kat] is an integer. Do a print type(self.myranks[kitten]) before the offending line and see what prints. Then …

The book teaches Python 2.x. In Python 3.x, print is a function, so the last line would be print(buildConnectionString(myParams)) In the future please include the actual error message, as it is almost impossible to debug when a program is larger, without knowing exactly what is wrong.

I would suggest learning [URL=http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tutfiles.htm]file read/write[/URL]. Then you can put 101 numbers in the file and read the file to test, instead of entering 100 numbers every time you want to test.

Try either destroy or withdraw on the old label and see if it does what you want.

For starters, break your code into smaller pieces and test each piece before moving on. As you have found out, debugging 96 lines of code is not easy. This line should be tested first as it does not do what you think. [CODE]##--- test this with a known value (word='the') …

Don't forget that the NSA maintains SELinux (maybe someone should tell the British Navy). I would guess that a study is the first step in the process towards moving away from expensive, proprietary software. A member of Congress would not really stand up and say "I think we might save …

You can/should use a dictionary for the values, although the code you have is fine if it works and you understand it. An example: [CODE]## replace the later code with a dictionary # A dictionary of lists. List elements are # position 0=price, 1=hinges, 2=latch, 3=stop # 4=screw gate, 5=eight …

You have to have a separate list of winning combinations, so one of the combinations would be ([0,0], [1,0], [2,0]) which would be 3 down if all 3 positions are either "X" or "O". Another way to do this is to number the squares and store each position in a …
