Nearly 50% of all bank robberies in the US take place on Fridays. source = FBI

More people have attended Star Trek conventions than have given blood.

Note:
I am not surprised, I myself would rather go to a Star Trek convention than give blood

If you're going to reference that, then please get the point right. One, it wasn't an apple, and two, Eve ate it first. Adam's crime was that he knew what it would do, and he neither stopped Eve, nor refused it himself.

Here I thought that Eve ate Adam's apple. That would hurt!

I don't like folks that drive their vehicle without a muffler.

It's not-in-jail older folks with bad morals that teach younger folks bad habits.

I like wine, for refreshing drink I mix red table wine with fruit juices.

You can do it with label and use spaces of the desired background colour. Here is example:

# Tkinter progress bar experiment
# using label and string of spaces

import Tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
# width 300 and height 100, no offsets
root.geometry("300x100+0+0")

space = " "
s = ""
label = tk.Label(root, text=s, bg='blue')
label.pack(anchor='nw')

for k in range(80):
    s += space
    # increments every 100 milliseconds
    label.after(100,label.config(text=s))
    label.update()  # needed

root.mainloop()

Also, if you work with wxPython Gui Toolkit you need to use False in this line:
app = wx.App(False)
This way the error actually shows up in the cmd window or editor's designated display window.

The default is True and the error shows up (flickers up) in small window created by wxPython.

Please use code tags with your code to preserve the indentations. Otherwise the code is very difficult to read and not too many folks will help.

[code=python]
your Python code here

This will put your error message into the cmd window:

# took Jeff's code to create error

import wx

class KeyEvent(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title)
        self.panel = wx.Panel(self, -1,size=wx.Size(100,100))
        self.button = wx.Button(self, -1, label="click me")

        self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(orient=wx.VERTICAL)
        self.sizer.Add(self.panel)
        self.sizer.Add(self.button)
        self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
        self.Fit()
        # self.PanelLeftUp is intentionally misspelled for error
        self.panel.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_UP, self.PanelLeftU)
        

    def PanelLeftUp(self, event):
        print "left click occured"

app = wx.App(False)  # <---- note the addition of False to show error in cmd window
k = KeyEvent(None, -1, 'keyevent.py')
k.Show()
app.MainLoop()

Use something like the DrPython IDE, that one has its own output window. Also editors like ConText have option that allow you to keep the cmd window open.

> I have to test the limits to know where they are.
Or you could just read the rules page to know what they are :)

I can feel for Lardmeister. It's like writing software, you know the rules, but you still need to test it. Sorry, just young age thinking. My Mom could tell you lots about this here rebel. Eventually, when we get old and stale it will stop.

Jeff's suggestion is modern Python. Make sure that your number is iterated as string:

squaredigits = lambda x: sum([int(i)*int(i) for i in str(x)])

print squaredigits(442)  # -->  36

Note: filter(), map() and reduce() will go away with Python30

# add this to future code
try: filter and map and reduce
except:
    def filter(f, s): return [x for x in s if f(s)]
    def map(f, *s): return [f(*x) for x in zip(*s)]
    def reduce(f, s, i=None):
        r = i
        for x in s:
            r = f(r, x)
        return r

Part of the reason is that list comprehensions are simply so much faster than using defined function call. Also reduce() isn't used much. Good news is that lambda will stay.

Pull the power cord, wrap clear tape around one of the prongs, plug it back in. About 67% of the users will never figure it out.

I would stick with the Lichtenstein bankers, they are more secretive.

They administer hundreds of tax deductable foundations that you can donate money to, but in reallity is simply your own account. Just imagine, you donate and later can get your money back with a nice gain. It's the perfect tax heaven for thousands of the richest folks in Europe.

Very funny!

Fille chaude! Rachel Maddow, very attractive, very energetic and very smart (doctorate in political science). One of the few persons who stands up to the ever so loud and boring conservatives.

"Bumsfeld" in the oil exploration business is a field of oil wells with a large content of natural gas.

Apparently three out of four people make up 75 percent of the population.

EnderX, please provide evidence that this is not fake.

Very romantic find! Only the Dude can come up with great stuff like that!

A great test!

I love the New York Rangers.

any old way yeah

My sentiments too!

Twenty-five percent of the people who live in North Africa have never seen any rainbow.

What this world really needs is one dust powered vehicle. Hehe, I could power it up in my room.

This Fox News fake has Karl written all over it. He is working for them now.

I guess Obama should have had this picture on the wall:

Is it February already? Damn...

I like your dry sense of humour! Glad to see you moderate here!

Whoever jbennet is, Girl come before God in the dictionary. Also, God made Man first and then perfected his efforts to make Girl. You just got to love 'em!

But then you lose any credibility and you will become not liked, at least by me. You must be joshing.

escargot :)

Wow.. I think that post proves that you are a young, naive fool.

Mon dieu, if Lardmeister is one fool than what are you? How low can you go?

The French used torture tactics in Algeria extensively and still lost the war.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Can you give more details about Kexi?

Python is high level language and can be used for most any application.

Another winner!

Neat thread! Some cards make me chuckle!

My hometown is loaded with Italian restaurants, I am surprised no one has voted Italy yet!

Most of those treaded frozen TV dinners are some kind of Italian fare. Quite a turn-off!

I don't know how you find these gems? You are the best!

I think that us Catholics have the best sense of humour.

Don't you just love those arcade games, could play them for many hours.

Hey thanks, just what I was looking for!

Anti-Christ-ina could be anyones heart-throb.
