An attribute is a way to get from one object to another. Apply the power of the almighty dot. There is a book out titled "Python Attributes and Methods", I suggest you read it. You can download a pdf version from: [url]http://www.cafepy.com/article/python_attributes_and_methods/python_attributes_and_methods.pdf[/url]

You have an endless recursive loop within your function comp_placement(ship) that creates new random numbers each time it is called. In other words, this would be an endless loop ...

If you have wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode, there is no need for an older version.

Ypu could use something simple like this ... [code]mydata = """\ <Ranking: AA (John)> <Ranking: CA (Peter)> <Ranking: TA-A (Samantha)> """ for line in mydata.split('\n'): if line: head, rank, name = line.split() if 'Peter' in name: print "Name: Peter Rank:", rank # Name: Peter Rank: CA [/code]

Pulling usable code out the wxPython demo code is a royal pain. However, there are a lot of nicely working examples here: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread128350.html[/url] Tell us which widget of the demo you are interested in and we can try to help.

IDLE will work with Linux and so will DrPython and Geany.

A very readable way to do this ...

Or you can simply append ... [code]# append file2 …

Actually Windows accepts the '/' instead of the somewhat awkward escape character ''

Yes, py2exe also packages all the imported modules that your program needs.

If you install Python using the Windows binary installer file (.msi), than you don't have to worry about setting the path.

IronPython uses the Windows .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime) & libraries and most of the common Python syntax. The standard CPython is written to be cross platform, and that does not include the CLR. For IronPython see: [url]http://www.ironpython.org/[/url]

Yes Paul, have a happy birthday! Let's just say that if I would put a candle for every year on my birthday cake, I would set the house on fire! I think that you have a birthday every day and a birthyear only once a year.

The random.normalvariate( mu, sigma) function has to be called with the arguments: mu = the requested mean sigma = the requested standard deviation You have to supply those arguments. Also, if you want to loop 10 times use range(10). Indentations are important with Python. Line up your code properly.

Two bad things stick out right away from your code: 1) Don't mix Tkinter geometry managers pack and grid within the same frame. 2) Command accepts a function reference not a function call. To pass an argument use lambda, a closure, or the new partial function (Python25). Take a look …

Hint, don't use [B]list[/B] as a variable name. It is a Python function name. Use something like [B]mylist[/B]. Did you test out your approach? There are a few things missing.

So what have you tried so far?

Be aware that there are a number of differences between Python2 and Python3 versions.

Only mutable objects are passed by reference, since they can change internally. So, assignment will not create a true copy, just an alias. The module copy handles many mutable objects. However there are more complex objects than cannot be easily copied. For instance a recursive situation.

You can use the module turtle to show the formation of a dragon curve fractal ...

Which version of Python are you using, it makes a difference.

Sorry, masterofpuppets already suggested slicing the list.

Wow, nasty language there! However, C++ is the livelihood of quite a few people. Many of them enjoy the challenge it brings.

If you call a function like this [B]check_if_true(user_choice)[/B] and you use variable user_choice in that function then you have to define the function like this [B]def check_if_true(user_choice):[/B] to get the argument passed.

Also, when you open a file for reading or writing, it is a good idea to close it when you are done.
