If you want to test what the module bisect suggested by our friend Gribouillis does, run a small program like this ... [code=python]# testing module bisect from bisect import bisect_left costs = [0.0, 2.10, 3.20, 4.70, 4.80] weights = [0, 2, 6, 10] # iterate through a list of possible …

You are assuming the word at index in list 'a' makes sense with the word with the same index in list 'b'. Somewhat dangerous. It would be simpler to make a dictionary with a:b (key:value) pairs, this way things that belong together stay together. Also, dictionary searches are highly optimized …

Something like this might do ... [code=python]# converted certain variables to strings for testing only data1= [['Contacts', 'company.contacts.count()'], ['Notes', 'company.notes.count()'], ['Met by', ], ['Industry', 'industry'], ['Financial Investors', '31']] data2 = [] for item in data1: #print item, len(item) # for testing if len(item) < 2: item.insert(1, 'missing value') data2.append(item) print …

Henri, enjoyed your many posts in the Python section, congratulations on your first kilopost!

I think you need to give us just a little bit more information about your code. Mindreading is not everyone's talent.

I wouldn't go that way. OGL development and maintenace is pretty well dead. If you are interested in 3D graphics take a look at VPython.

If you installed the wxPython docs file, it could be in something like: C:\Python25\Doc\wxPython2.8 Docs and Demos\demo

This pygame sample code at: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/showpost.php?p=700702&postcount=146[/url] might help you. As long as you give the full path name of your image file, I dont think it makes much of a difference in which directory it is.

Interesting indeed! Us humble human beings can readily observe matter and energy, but not the state between the two. Let's postulate that 'dark matter' is this flux state, observed only by its gravitational pull. If you believe this, you sleep better at night. It has the soothing effect of a …

Try app.MainLoop() Also OnInit should return a boolean value, usually True

If you talk about visitors from outer space, I would say 'no', since distances are simply too far. It would take thousands of years of travel in even the best case. If you talk about loonies, dopers and drunkards seeing something strange, then I would say 'of course!'

help("modules") hangs up on bad or modified modules or mixed versions, but lets you know! Works well on virgin installations. I have so many modules installed and screw around with them all the time. So I use help("modules") to flush out the bad stuff.

Python and some of the standard GUI toolkits themselves do not have a builtin method to display FITS images (they are simply too specialized), but I am sure one of the external scientific modules that handle astronmoy will do just that. I know the PyFITS module will (NASA/Goddard Space Flight …

Which version of the Netbeans IDE did you download for Python coding? Jython allows Python to use the Jave library and feeds into Java byte code. Iron Python, I think, does a similar thing with C# There is also python-like Boo that feeds into the .NET C# compiler. See: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet429.html[/url] …
