As of this point in time, the only thing you can do is to use Python26 for the book. PIL sooner or later will appear for Python3. but don't hold your breath. When one third party module like cImage (which i think is just a rewrite of graphics.py with some …

Can you give us the text of exercise 7?

An interesting thread. Does she have something to hide in her medical records? They are not disclosed yet!

Which of the 250 major computer languages are you learning? I need some idea so I can compare.

i am sure that any good breathing exercises (fresh air) would to you a lot better. :)

By default sort() sorts by the first item in each sublist ... [code]q = [[8, 9, 7], [1, 2, 3], [5, 4, 3], [4, 5, 6]] q.sort() print q # [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [5, 4, 3], [8, 9, 7]] [/code]

Your dog's tail is dogged and chewed, and not real.

Spent most of my day at the local VA hospital visiting friends.

For starters take a look at: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread20774.html[/url] Some online books ...

Pretty dense stuff!

In your code the [COLOR="Red"][B]else[/B][/COLOR] pairs up with the [COLOR="Red"][B]if[/B][/COLOR] statement just before it. If you change that to [COLOR="Red"][B]elif[/B][/COLOR] it pairs up with the [COLOR="Red"][B]if[/B][/COLOR] before that. That's because all the conditional statements have the same indentation level.

The wxPython manual states: Not all platforms support this function.

The original code works fine with Python24 through Python31. The parenthesis, as tonyjv pointed out, are optional.

William Gates' claim to the "Programmers Hall of Fame" is DOS, specifically MS-DOS for the the first IBM PC. I think that was written in assembler. It was a great achievement in those early PC days. This comes from a person who used some of the alternative disk operating systems. …

My recommendation, don't work with an old ditty like module gasp. It is a wrapper for PyGame and doesn't work very well with newer versions of PyGame on Windows. I got it to go this way ... [code]# for Windows and Python26 dowmload and install gasp from: # http://edge.launchpad.net/gasp-core/0.1.x/0.2.0beta1/+download/python-gasp-0.2.0beta1.win32.exe # …

Just spent about an hour removing [B]Antispyware Soft[/B], a small miserable program that comes in on e-mail or certain church sponsored web sites. It deposits a random named executable in your Windows OS (XP through Windows7) and then takes over the registry to a point where you can not run …

Nice project! Are you hooked on Python yet?

Which graphics toolkit are you using? Also need to see some code.

For the sake of simplicity ... [code]def list_has_duplicate_items( mylist ): return len(mylist) > len(set(mylist)) def get_duplicate_items( mylist ): return [item for item in set(mylist) if mylist.count(item) > 1] mylist = [ 'oranges' , 'apples' , 'oranges' , 'grapes' ] print 'List: ' , mylist print 'Does list have duplicate item(s)? …

I used to do quite a number of automation projects going through the serial port. Alas, I am finding out that just about all the newer machines have done away with the RS-232 serial port. How does the USB port fit in with all of this?

To go from string [B]"+2x-1y+3x+2"[/B] to string [B]"5x-y+2"[/B] would have to be done by a specialized string parser following rules you set. Quite an interesting problem.

The nice thing about using [B]raise SystemExit[/B] to exit your program is that you don't have to import anything extra.

Starting with version 2.6 Python has introduced a new container called the named tuple. You can use it similar to a class based record structure, but it has the memory efficiency of a tuple.

A linear search goes through a sequence of items one item at a time from the start of the sequence until the item is found ... [code]sequence = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' search = 'z' for c in sequence: if c == search: print("found search item") break [/code]As you can see, if you …

Hmm, maybe designing fashionable clothes for robots could be a new career?

Go ahead and test it! If you can't live with the amount of protection given, use C++.

There wouldn't be enough space inside any bus to post all the things that are prohibited. It would be much easier to post all the things that are allowed. :)

Since this looks a lot like homework, please show us at least some coding effort on your part!

I have seen this somewhere else ... [code]# use module pickle to dump and load complete objects # like dictionaries # modified to work with Python2 and Python3 versions import pickle catalog = { 1:["Bread", 1.50, 10 ], 2:["Cheese", 5.00, 5], 3:["Apple", 2.50,12] } # pickle dump the dictionary fh_out …

Well, your mind seems to be made up, if you dislike Python, there isn't much I will do about it! Python is a tool, just like any other computer language. If you can't figure out any advantages, don't use that tool. Computer languages are tools that allow you to write …

What you are creating is not an array, but an object called a string ... [code]my_array = 'a' for i in range(10): my_array = my_array + 'b' print my_array # abbbbbbbbbb print type(my_array) # <type 'str'> [/code]

Code Snippets do not have questions associated. They are finished, working code.

[QUOTE]Weird thing is that if I put a GetLabel right after SetLabel I see the new value![/QUOTE] The combination most likely function as a Refresh(). I would just go with the combo since wx.Dialog() does not show a Refresh() method in the manual. You might have discovered a nice little …

Another way you could approach this ... [code]matrix = [[0 for x in range(5)] for y in range(3)] for sublist in matrix: s = str(sublist) s = s.replace('[', '|').replace(']', '|').replace(',', "") print s print '+-'*5 + '+' [/code]

The old 10% tip was so much easier to figure out.

Cow tipping, if done professionally, is quite relaxing for the cow.
