A time based random number generator will only work if called once, or uses the random time between a user input event. The function time.time() only updates 18.2 times per second, too slow if you request several random numbers quickly.

Generally module md5 is used to encrypt strings/texts like passwords by making a unique check sum of the string. Once encrypted you cannot decrypt the resulting check sum back to the original string. The only way you can find out its contents is to encrypt another string and compare the …

We wouldn't have this problem if Windows machines would ship with Python installed. The real problem is that MS wants to make money with their old VB interpreter.

I didn't know they took a video of me buying beer! :)

Similar to Gribouillis' code, but uses lambda as a helper function ... [code=python]# sort a more complex combination of lists/tuples: mylist = [ (1, ['a', '3.1', 'ad']), (2, ['b', '4.0', 'bd']), (3, ['c', '2.5', 'cd']), ] # sort by item at index [1][1] of each tuple # using a helper …

This might be easier to understand ... [code]if player[0] not in 'rps': print "incorrect choice entered" [/code]

As you most likely found out, there are a number of ways to do this. You picked a good one. There was also a snippet at: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet237089.html[/url]

A function that takes a string and returns the number of words in the string. An example of using pointers in Pascal.

You can simply use this little test ... [code]int_rounds = 3 win = 0 loss = 0 print(int_rounds > max(win, loss)) # True win = 0 loss = 0 print(int_rounds > win or int_rounds > loss) # True win = 0 loss = 0 print(int_rounds > win and int_rounds > …

You can pull a few fixed things out of the drawEye() function and use parameters, but radius makes no sense since it changes within the function ... [code]from graphics import * def drawCircle(win, centre, radius, colour): circle = Circle(centre, radius) circle.setFill(colour) circle.setWidth(2) circle.draw(win) def drawEye(win, centre): drawCircle(win, centre, 40, "white") …

Why don't you simply separate your class Stack out and send it through some simple tests to figure out the errors? Looks like pop() should return something.

When you post a question like that, give as much pertinent information as you can. You needed to tell us right from the start that you are using the Zelle module graphics. Also, read the code that folks respond with and check it against the errors in your code. I …

Compared to all the unused brain space, this is nothing!

For a wx.TextCtrl() instance I simply use the WriteText() method.

[QUOTE=nevets04;1038393]Solved: [code] List = [] for x in xrange(5): List.append(raw_input("")) [/code][/QUOTE] Wow, I would have never guessed that from your original question. Hint, variable names starting with a capital letter are by convention used for class names.

You should really start a new thread of your own! The string function find() can find a subtext within a larger text, as will re.findall(). The advantage of find() is that it will give you the location in the form of an index.

I hope you have luck finding someone who actually uses pygtk. I run on a Windows platform and pygtk is a bear to install.

For programs like this, recursion is not a very good idea. Calling a function, even itself, is one of the slower things in programming because of the stack control. You will find that in the faster prime algorithms repeated function calls are absent. Here is an example of one of …

I think you should learn Lisp to get familiar with parenthesis. Yes, you are using too many of those in your Python code. You can study up in the precedence of mathematical operations to remove a fair number of them.

Why don't snakes bite attorneys? Professional courtesy.
