 | Does the *thing* have to be the source of the emitted vibration? I mean... any object could emit vibration if you consider reflected light as being [I]emitted[/I] vibration. And a Dr. Pepper can will emit vibration if you squeeze it. The crinkling aluminum produces the vibration of sound waves.  |

Here's how I'd revise your function: * Added Billy's suggestion from above * I like comments on separate lines unless they're extremely short * Tabs are an absolute no-no in my book * No need to say [ICODE]if something: continue[/ICODE] ... when there's …  |
| | Re: Im stumped [QUOTE=Vexten;876052]I'm trying to make this game (pseudo code below) [/QUOTE] You never posted your psuedo code. I suggest starting with a 'Hello World' program that maybe prints a menu and asks the user for their input. Next, I would work on a question/answer function that is ambiguous and can pick … |
| | Re: wxPython help I suggest downloading the 'Docs and Demos' along with your wxPython install, as it gives you a great launch pad to start writing your own GUIs by giving you sample code of almost every single type of wx object. It's ridiculously helpful when starting wxPython. |
| | It would help the forum members here to answer your question if you provided information regarding what toolkit you're using. |
| | Re: List problem [QUOTE=hunterm;876942]What did I screw up?[/QUOTE] You used [ICODE]input [/ICODE]and you're not using Python30. For anything prior to Python30 you should be using [ICODE]raw_input[/ICODE] like you did for the earlier user input. Try entering the following into [ICODE]input[/ICODE] and see what happens: [ICODE]4 * 10 + 2 / 5[/ICODE].  |

| | Yeah, the process to import is: [code=python] import modulename [/code] Where [icode]modulename[/icode] is the name of the module (I'm assuming login for your case) |
| | Well it's hard to say without defined rules of what needs to be excluded. Is it every "|XXX ##" that follows an instance of 'Spec ##' ? If so I would suggest using the re module to come up with a regex. It'll make it super easy to do this … |

[code=python] >>> ord('A') 65 >>> ord('a') 97 >>> ord('Z') 90 >>> ord('z') 122 >>> from string import letters >>> letters 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' >>> uppers = letters[26:] >>> lowers = letters[:26] >>> uppers 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' >>> lowers 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' >>> [/code] you cna iterate over those strings easily … |

| | [QUOTE=shoemoodoshaloo;873211]Thanks for the help woooee[/QUOTE] Hey, it helps to read the code posted in this forum if it's in code tags. And also, if you wanted to do a single write that included your newline you can do something like this: [code=python] temp = ["4", "5", "6", "7", "8"] for … |

 | [QUOTE=scru;872502]The best way I think is to get a solid foundation in Python 2. That and read up a bit on unicode. Once done, you can just read the "What's new in python 3" page (Google it) and learn everything there is to know about using python 3.[/QUOTE] I second … |

| | I concur with Jice. In case you're simply asking us for suggestions of how to perform the same action with two different targets I would propose a for loop: [code=python] >>> for octet in [ '8', '9' ]: ... ip_add = '10.0.2.' + octet ... print 'IP Address:', ip_add ... … |

| | I thought python was baked into RHEL 4 ? Are the dependencies you're looking for tcl/tk for Tkinter support? |
| | Usually complaints of a syntax error on a particular line actually mean that the error is contained on the line before that. |
| | [QUOTE=gotm;871125][code=python] [Snipped for brevity][/code][/QUOTE] Your problems all stem from the fact that you aren't recognizing the 'scope' of your variables. You shouldn't be using global variables at all in fact, and your code could use a more coherent structure (for your own sake). Here's a quick example of a better … |

| | Re: Please Help Me A quicker way would be to check if a [icode]split()[/icode] results in a list with length greater than 1: [code=python] >>> s1 = 'Test string' >>> s2 = 'Test' >>> s1.split() ['Test', 'string'] >>> s2.split() ['Test'] >>> len(s1.split()) 2 >>> len(s2.split()) 1 >>> [/code] On second thought, it'd be easier … |
| | Write an empty string to them, a.k.a. [icode]''[/icode] That's the best answer you could hope for with as little info as you provided. |
| | Please use code tags when posting code in this forum. If you don't, your code is excruciatingly hard to read and makes it less likely that forum members will answer your question. To use code tags: [noparse][code=python] # Put your code inside here [/code][/noparse] Now regarding the 'main' module: there … |
 | How about you use __init__.py in each of your subdirectories? Here's an illustration of the __init__.py idea from an old mailing list: [QUOTE=John Roth] __init__.py is used for two things. One is as a flag to indicate that the python programs in the directory are part of a module. The … |
| | Re: Jython or Python Holy crap no. Jython is the scourge of humanity, and in my opinion utter and complete garbage. I don't even know why it exists except to astound and bewilder. I used it once to make an application that could interface with Lotus Notes. Every time I look back at that … |

| | Re: Tuples What, you mean like this? [code=python] >>> def funA(): ... print 'A' ... >>> def funB(): ... print 'B' ... >>> def funC(): ... print 'C' ... >>> my_tup = ( funA, funB, funC ) >>> for each_function in my_tup: ... each_function() ... A B C >>> [/code] |
| | Re: Simple code help Here's a way to only check against the last character (as a function): [code=python] >>> def remove_dups( word ): ...

| | Re: Compare Scores That's an interesting challenge... If it were me I would use a two-tiered scoring system, whereby you could assign a value to the hand itself, ie: [QUOTE]high card = 1 pair = 2 two pair = 3 three of kind = 4 etc...[/QUOTE] Then, in the event of a tie, … |
| | In Python 3.0 the built-in method zip() contains an iterable instead of a list (much like the new range() function)... meaning that after the first sorted() call, the internal pointer of the zip object is pointed at the END position of the object. I don't think it's possible to "reset" … |

 | How about you use a dictionary for usrlst. here's an example of a dictionary: [code=python] >>> usr_dict = { 'bob': 'foobar', 'joe': 'barfood', 'sally':'choco' } >>> usr_inp = 'Bob' >>> if usr_inp.lower() in usr_dict: ... print usr_dict[usr_inp.lower()] ... foobar >>> [/code] Also, you should not be using [icode]input[/icode], you should … |

| | You need to use code tags when posting code in this forum, like so: [noparse][code=python] # Your code in here [/code][/noparse] That will preserve your indents so that your code is readable, and will entice other forum members to actually read your post. Here's a way to split up a … |
| | I don't know how you could possibly be getting a tuple object... I used your code exactly and it worked just fine. A tuple is this: [code=python] a = (1, 2, 3, 4) # tuple with 4 elements b = ('a', 'b') # tuple with 2 elements # tuples can … |
| | No, you should never be declaring classes inside a function... Your class definitions should go out on the main level and then call them from within the functions... Also, get rid of your calls to [icode]input[/icode] as it's not safe. You should always use [icode]raw_input[/icode] and then convert to a … |
| | So what are the chances of starting a pyQT or pyGTK thread like the wxPython thread we have... sticky and all! I'd love to see some examples of either pyQT or pyGTK as I've no experience with either... Thoughts? |
| | I don't know about a "go interactive" command, but if you use pdb (python debugger) and set the pdb mark somewhere, it dumps you out into the interpreter with all your current workspace that the program has worked on so far. It's pretty simple to do, simply [icode]import pdb[/icode] at … |

| | What do you mean by "obtained nothing yet"? I would suggest using a regular expression to group out the SEC= portion and the beginning of the line, but I don't know how consistent that data will appear in said form.

| | Re: perfect numbers You might want to rethink what the line [icode]c = factors [0:] * factors [:40][/icode] is doing... Look at this example for what happens using * on lists: [code=python] >>> [ 1, 2, 3 ] * 3 [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3] >>> [ 1, 2, … |
