This was the first result from googling "ubuntu install pygame": [URL="http://www.pygame.org/wiki/kubuntu"]http://www.pygame.org/wiki/kubuntu[/URL] One of the best things about Ubuntu(Linux in general) is that it has such a huge open-source user base that almost every question you have has a detailed guide online of how somebody else did it.

The communicate method "reads all of the output and waits for child process to exit before returning" [[URL="http://blog.doughellmann.com/2007/07/pymotw-subprocess.html"]Source[/URL]], so in order to work with a program that expects multiple inputs you'll need to communicate with the stdin of the process as such: [code=python] proc = Popen('./Ex.sh', shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE) proc.stdout.readline() …

Use code tags when posting code in this forum, or else nobody will be willing to help you: [noparse][code=python] # Code goes in here [/code][/noparse] When using the [icode]__str__[/icode] method you have to make sure that you are returning a string. Here's an example of proper usage: [code=python] >>> class …

Maybe it would be easiest to uninstall and re-install Python. Perhaps you should look at adopting a new IDE as well (I'm sorry I just can't stand IDLE!)

I suggest learning the basics of Python before trying to use it as a web platform. I highly recommend [URL="http://diveintopython.org"]dive into python[/URL], which is a free book online that is geared for programmers that already know the basics of writing code in general (control flow, data structures, etc.) Python wasn't …

I don't believe that there is... startfile simply launches the program as if it had been executed from the command prompt/shell... It doesn't return anything as far as I can tell, so my answer would be no. But perhaps there is a way.

This isn't necessarily appropriate for the Python forum but: [code] len_x = size(x) for i = 1:len_x x(i) end [/code] Now forgive me, I haven't used Matlab in years; however if you need more help you'll find the [URL="http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_product_page.html"]MATLAB docs here[/URL].

To use code tags: [noparse][code=python] # This is my PYTHON code # It goes between the code(=syntax) brackets [/code][/noparse] If you use code tags your question will be easier to read, thus easier to answer by our forum members

Please follow the forum guidelines when posting, most importantly when you post code. If you don't use code tags the code turns out as it did above and nobody wants to look at the crazy wall of unformatted text. Use code tags like this when posting code in this forum: …

[QUOTE=Undermine;857549]Would i just do something like if choice ==1 : do this if choice ==2: do this ect?[/QUOTE] Yeah pretty much.

You're more likely to get help if you follow the posting guidelines for this forum, including but not limited to using code tags, showing effort, and providing simple examples of reproducible errors. After skimming over your crazy long post I'll give you an example of asking the user for input …

Yeah, sure thing. I don't know if generating it will be as easy as your [icode]zeros[/icode] but here's an example: [code=python] >>> mtrx = [[(0,0),(0,1),(0,2),(0,3)], ...

If you simply double click on a [icode].py[/icode] or a [icode].pyw[/icode] icon Python will open and run the script in a command window, just as vega mentioned above... Keep in mind however that if your program has bugs and crashes, the command window will close as soon as Python is …

You'll have to adapt your code to the website's new layout/API/whatever. Maybe you could provide more details and a little code so that we have some idea of what you're talking about.

If a call to the DLL returns '2' then that's not a Python error code, that's just what the DLL is returning. I'd suggest using the DLL in another language in the same way to see if you get the same error code.

You'll have to write those sort algorithms yourself. Or search google. To sort a list in Python: [code=python] my_list = [1,5,2,8,3,4,7,6] my_list.sort() [/code]

Please use code tags when posting code. [noparse][code=python] # Put your code inside here [/code][/noparse] As far as Python input methods you can use raw_input to prompt the user for input: [code=python] usr_inp = raw_input( 'Please enter a directory: ' ) print 'The user entered:', usr_inp [/code]

[QUOTE=harrykokil;851366]i want to integrate the above code in this tkinter a window but its not working.[/QUOTE] What's not working? Are you getting an error? Your "tkinter a window" doesn't work for me. It never generates any windows and just hangs, so I'm not sure what you're looking for.

I think that you overlooked what adam was saying in his first post. If two straight lines are not parallel and are not the same line, then they must intersect as some point. Unless you need to figure out the exact point of intersection, you can simply use if-else logic …

You need to change the definition of con() to support the event details that get automatically passed to any bound method. The new definition should look like this: [code=python] def con(self, event=None): [/code] Note that I initialized event to None so that you can still call it yourself without needing …

You should be using return values instead of global variables... see if this makes any sense, and if not ask questions. [code=python] >>> import random >>> def get_ran(): ... return random.randint(1,10) ... >>> get_ran() 5 >>> get_ran() 10 >>> get_ran() 4 >>> hp = 100 >>> hp -= get_ran() >>> …

Well first problem is that you're never clearing the contents of your list [icode]b[/icode]. Also, you should move the summation of b outside of the for loop so that it only happens once you've found all the factors of the desired number... That should get you pointed in the right …

Do you mean a binary number with 24 bits or an integer with 24 digits?

The "built in" module would be Tkinter, but if you're looking for something simple that will generate native-looking GUIs with minimal effort I would suggest wxPython.

You use [icode]print[/icode] to print anything in Python. Since your functions are returning values, you can use [icode]print[/icode] to output those values.

I'm sorry can you provide more detail? Your question isn't exactly clear...

I don't understand your first question.. can you clarify what you mean by non-unique random numbers? That being said, I find the best way to have a program run continuously is a super loop. Example: [code=python] import time def main(): print "I'm the main function!" # Do some other stuff …

Instead of sleeping for the user to see the end message you can place an input at the end of your program so that the user has to hit <Enter> to quit like this: [code=python] # This is the last line of code raw_input( "Press <Enter> to exit..." ) [/code]
