In 2001 "Star Trek The Motion Picture" brought up a living machine so big that we couldn't fathom it. Then who could forget HAL in "2001 SO"?

I will be waiting for that code snippet! Sounds all very interesting to me too!

According to: [url]http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.ListBox-class.html[/url] the listbox does not have a mehod SetMaxSize(). You might as well set the size of the listbox itself as you create the instance.

He is really kind of bad at doing this! Sort of unsmart, I was hoping he would hit his toe! It was much better when Gallagher used a watermelon on stage!

In the price range you are talking about repairs are bound to come quickly, so stay with something homegrown like a Chevy or Ford where the parts are easier to get and cheaper.

Just like Miller Lite, there is now Spam Lite. Turkey Spam is highly recommended and very good for you! I would avoid Signature Spam, that one simply suggs! A day without Spam is like a day without healthy food. :)

My advice, get a loan from some rich unsuspecting relative.

Whatever you buy, get a real noisy bike so you can irritate your neighbors a lot!:) I used to ride a motor bike (BMW) in my teenage years, but the only girls I ever got to ride with me were the once with warts and very hairy legs.

With a large enough antenna you should get a decent current. I would use different diodes though. However, during the day a solar cell would be better.

Bumsfeld you are right, avoid globals, they do lead to errors. Using a generator function avoids globals ... [code=python]def static_num2(): k = 0 while True: k += 1 yield k static = static_num2().next for i in range(0,10) : print static() [/code]

The map() function applies a function to every member of a list. Here a list of numbers 32 to 255 is changed to a list of the corresponding ASCII characters. Then map() is used in a more complex application to combine the two lists to form a dictionary containing number:character …

Try something like this ...

You really should post this on the Python forum. We geeks in the geeks' lounge do not do other folks homework.

Wow, a very nice homework assignment. It will definitely test your Python skills. Once you establish your list for each line, slicing will help you a lot.

A temporary test print might shed some light on the workings of the code ... [code]def insertion_sort( lista ): for i in range ( 1, len( lista ) ): save = lista[i] j = i while ( j > 0 and lista[j - 1] > save ): lista[j] = lista[j …
