Well, it is our policy on the forum not to do homework for you, but here are some elaborations (tests) that should help you in a hintful way ... [code=python]# months abbreviated dictionary (created from a list) mad = {'MAR': 3, 'FEB': 2, 'AUG': 8, 'SEP': 9, 'APR': 4, 'JUN': …

I just read an article in the Guardian about large scale windfarming off the Scottish coast. That must be a perennially windy corner. They are using knowledge gained with oil rigs there, and are using super large blades. Why they are rusty I don't know, but then way out there, …

It almost looks like graphics22 is a variant of the graphics module written by John Zelle for use with the book "Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" (Franklin, Beedle & Associates). This is a custom wrapper for Tkinter. Unless you have a detailed manual for it, help from us …

Which GUI toolkit are you using?

What does a typical element in your list look like? If it's a file, what does a typical data line look like?

9/11 was a conspiracy alright, a conspiracy by Mister Laden and friends. He and most of his friends are still on the loose, thanks to the fact that our boys are too busy pilfering Iraq right now. With boys I don't mean our troops, but their leaders.

That may be tough because a continuous key press is interpreted by your operating system as a repeated key press.

Actually the whole exercise is a great example of Python's slicing operator ...

Look at your conditions: 90 - 100: A 80 - 89: B 70 - 79: C 60 - 69: D < 60: F The last line says, if the score is less than 60, then the grade is an F. That would be the easiest to write for the computer …

Iamthwee, kicking somebody into a new thread is not very funny, neither is your avatar and your location. I have enjoyed many of your contributions in the past, but this one fails.

At least they are using their money for a constructive project, rather than killing, maiming and bombing.

If you are uncomfortable with lambda, you can also use itemgetter() from the module operator ...

Thanks G-Do for your information, so NumPy eventually replaces Numeric and Numarray. Interesting! When I was coding in C, I used to sample lab data and put it into a circular or ring buffer to keep the thing from overflowing. This was an easy way to calculate a moving average. …

Welcome to DaniWeb! Python's syntax might be easy for a beginner, but you have to remember that Python's power comes from knowing which of the many modules to use to make coding easier. In your case the module time will save you a lot of time (no pun intended). With …

I suspect that it is the trace fluorides in the salt. Everytime I go to the dentist, she smears some fluoride paste on my teeth, and now I have hair growing between my teeth.

Skydivers can achieve a maximum of 120 mph during the free fall part of their dive. So 130 mph is a real achievement!

Just remember that the first time a function is invoked/called, its code gets loaded into memory. If you give an argument a default that is mutable, you have to be aware of how that will behave. In practice, most of the time you won't do a default with a mutable. …

This happens with many computer languages. You are trying to compare floating point values directly. Your 0.8 might be more like 0.799999999999999 and the compare flunks! You can make this work by giving it a range you can compare within ... [code]if 0.79999 < status < 0.80001: ... do something` …

I am not familiar with this old graphics module, but generally you draw the face inside a rectangle/frame/canvas and move the whole rectangle/frame/canvas around.

We need to see some code so we figure out which GUI toolkit you are using and which picture format you want to load.

Here would be a typical example ...

An interesting project, it will force you to learn three languages (Python, HTML and XML) all at the same time. Python has quite a number of XML related modules. Your project might be more a string handling project though.

Do you want to break the list into 2 lists at a set index?

Once you get familiar with constructs like list comprehension, they become quite easy to read. List comprehensions also give quite an improvement in speed too.

Maybe, when they cut the throats of the goats, some sacrificial blood spattered onto the plane's loose wiring and made it hold its contact. No, it was most likely the god of flight and fertility. Neat title for the thread Salem!

I use both DrPython (Windows and Linux) and PyScripter (Windows). DrPython needs wxPython and is very stable, relies on plugins for advanced features. PyScripter comes as an .exe file (written in Python for Delphi) and has some excellent features out of the box. The one I like is that it …
