"I wanna be cremated" very practical thinking.

Java sounds like it is made for you. Google "colleges using java"

The two different eventloops don't work very gracefully together. There is a lot of flickering. Threading might improve performance? The only thing that works reasonably well is the pygame.mixer and Tkinter to play sounds in a Tkinter application.

This code also works with Python3 ... [code=python]# explore module ctypes to get mouse position # tested with Python 2.5.4 and Python 3.1.1 import ctypes as ct class GetPoint(ct.Structure): _fields_ = [("x", ct.c_ulong), ("y", ct.c_ulong)] def get_mousepos(): pt = GetPoint() ct.windll.user32.GetCursorPos(ct.byref(pt)) return int(pt.x), int(pt.y) print( "Mouse position at start of …

This program takes a text string and creates a list of words. Any attached punctuation marks are removed and the words are converted to lower case for sorting. Now you can generate a dictionary of the words and their frequencies. The result is displayed using a sorted list of dictionary …

The Fibonacci series of numbers was used by Leonardo of Pisa, a.k.a. Fibonacci (around the year 1200), to describe the growth of a rabbit population. The series has been noted to appear in biological settings, such as the branching patterns of leaves in grasses and flowers. We take a look …

Because of their demand only nature, generators are ideal for finding the combinations of larger sequences. This code applies a Python generator to find the combinations of the sequence. Since permutations are a special case of combinations for all the items in a sequence, I have expanded the result to …

Another way is to create a folder like MyModules in a path that Python has on its PYTHONPATH eg. C:\Python27\MyModules Now save your module eg. module1.py in there. You also have to create an `__init__.py` file (can be empty) in that folder, so that Python assumes that it's dealing with …

I was young then, only 58 years old. Made a webpage for Bullhead City Arizona.

Explore with small code examples, then put them together to explore a project.

The right game can be very refreshing to your mind. BTW, I don't think getting old is in your control. It simply sneaks up on you!

Create a website about your home town or neighborhood.

Can you give us an example of your code?

Nice solution by BearofNH. Just a note, you can use print(card) with Python25 too.

You can also use `print(type(ans))`

**Yellowstone Park** is my taste.

If you are moving a lot, you will hate those heavy boxes of paper books very quickly.

Not sure why laptops have such slow hard drives.

An odd one for the Mojave Desert, 68F (20C) and raining.

IMHO, anything that has to do with law.

One idea, the result of glob.glob(path) is a list, so you could add the two lists `list_py_txt = glob.glob("c:/temp/*.py") + glob.glob("c:/temp/*.txt")`

I have done a lot of different languages over the years, but Python suites my feeble mind the best.

For the real easy questions you might get too many answers (hits).

Hint, use math.pow() and math.factorial() so `x4/4!` will be `math.pow(x, 4)/math.factorial(4)`

This worked for me ... ''' Py2ExeConSetup.py Py2Exe (version 6.6 and higher) setup file for a console program. Creates a single .exe file. Simply add this file into the same folder with your source file (s). Change your main source filename at the bottom to whatever you called your main …

This AVI file player has some nice features like adjusting size and speed. The program uses the standard MSvfw32.lib (called libmsvfw32.a in the DevCPP lib directory). Another example of using BCX to translate to C code and modify to something Dev-C++ can handle. Enjoy!!!

If you use the Windows OS, then IronPython allows you to create a GUI program taking advantage of the .NET framework. You also have the option to compile the program into a standalone .exe file (and the needed .dll file).

I use my IPad for information, but don't consider it a real computer. It is just too awkward to write a scientific program with it, even though I found a good Python IDE app for it. I do find myself touching the screen of my older laptop a lot.

I like #2 Got used to it writing lots of C code.

Using the Python Image Library (PIL) you can resize an image. Several filters can be specified. ANTIALIAS is best for downsampling, the other filters work better with upsampling (increasing the size). In this code snippet one image of each filter option is saved, so you can compare the quality in …
