Nice find! Does anyone still listen to the radio?

If list comprehension or generator expressions are not in your knowledge yet, maybe this is a little easier to understand: [code=python]def first_letters(s): temp = "" for letter in s.split(): temp += letter[0] return temp s = 'Old hero sleeps healthy in Thailand' print first_letters(s) [/code]A little bit more long winded, …

I like my own avatar the best! Who is jbennet anyway? Professor SOS's avatar is rather cool though!

[QUOTE=jwenting;631990]no, but both Osama and McCain are Marxists...[/QUOTE]I thought that the slogan "There is a Marxist in every bush!" (no pun intended) went out with the nutty Senator from Wisconsin 50 years ago.

You might have to give us some more of your code. Don't be bashful!

To find all functions/methods in a module like gasp use: [code=python]import gasp print "List the functions within module gasp:" for f in dir(gasp): print f [/code]Look at the output, maybe it's just a minor spelling difference. Info: GASP (Graphics API for Students of Python) is a library built on pygame …

Amazing what those companies used to sell sugar to the kids.

Effort in, garbage out!

I will wait till Win7.1 comes out.

Slight variation of ChrisP_Buffalo's suggestion: [code=python]# create number:frequency dictionary num_freq = {} for num in file("floats.txt"): #print num, type(num) # strip trailing new lines num = num.rstrip() num_freq[num] = num_freq.get(num, 0) + 1 #print num_freq print '-'*30 # create sorted list of (freq, number) tuples # high freq first, show …

riyadhmehmood, do not hijack somebody elses thread! Very bad manners. Start your own thread.

You are right Dude, this is a fun, but challenging game.

Yes, there is a backspace character '\b', but not all IDEs will have the right output window for it: [code=python]# backspace twice and overwrite with space print '1234567\b\b ' raw_input('press enter') # wait [/code]The standard DOS command window will work.

This is one way to produce a syntax error: pint " Hello Cu Python!" or ... Print " Hello Cu Python!" Remember Python is case sensitive.

Here is an example of using the Tkinter GUI toolkit to bring up a 5 second splash screen. All the info you want needs to be written into the picture itself, using one of the popular image editing utilities: [code=python]# create a splash screen, 80% of display screen size, centered, …

Look at your code, what are your import statements? Usually they are at the start of the program code.

I just tried it with my old monitor. I threw it 12 feet and 7 inches. Should be an Olympic event!

Something like this should do: [code=python]s = 'xxxxx - xxxxx' space = ' ' nospace = '' s = s.replace(space, nospace) print s # xxxxx-xxxxx [/code]

I think you have to write it this way: patternMatching(r"The|fox", 'The little brown fox')

If your paragraphs are properly separated, you could use something lke this: [code=python]text = """\ This is my first paragraph. This is my second paragraph. This is my third paragraph. """ q = text.split('\n\n') print q """ my output --> ['This is my\nfirst paragraph.', 'This is my\nsecond paragraph.', 'This is …

I don't think the SND_PURGE flag is meant to work the way you interpreted it.

Starting with Python3 the / will be float division and // will be integer division. You can use these future feature already by importing the __future__ module: [code=python]from __future__ import division print "Welcome to SCLMIP(Simple Calculator For Linux Made In Python)" while True: equation = input("Equation: ") print equation if …

Well, it gives the religious right and Mr. Schwarzerneger something to do! The economy is going down the tube, but by golly at least the gays can't have a wedding!

I wonder what the ecnomics of driving an all electric car are. Electricity is certainly not cheap, close to $0.1 per kwh in LA. Then there is the capital cost of the battery, Lithium Ion would be the best for size and weight, but might add close to $30,000 to …

I work in a hospital and patients that suffer from terminal cancer simply don't think like that! This must be a silly hoax.

Using raw_input() makes more sense and it is portable across the different OS and editor output windows.

Kind of bitter sweet! Thanks Dude.

Creative writing in the buff does work well, but coding may not. I guess it depends on the program you are working on.

Is your dart game just a console game where the location the dart lands is a random pick?

Not the easiest thing to do and depends heavily on your OS. Here is a DaniWeb snippet for the Windows OS: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet399.html[/url] The wxPython GUI toolkit also offers a printer widget.

The wxPyton GUI toolkit has the fancier widgets for animation, graphics, plotting, sound and so on. If you are not at all familiar with GUI programming, Tkinter is a good way to start with and get the hang of it. Tkinter has a lot of sample code.

I am curious what operating system you have. I have been trying to install PyQt4 on my Windows Vista machine and it seems to fail. I downloaded PyQt-Py2.5-gpl-4.4.2-1.exe which is the Windows binary installer. It is supposed to contain everything needed for PyQt development except for Python itself: PyQt Qt …

My family used to go the end of August and the first part of December for the least crowds. It's expensive, but a lot of fun!

You use a while loop like that to exit or stay in the program: [code=python]while True: # ... # you code here # ... sel = raw_input("Enter q to quit, m for more: ").lower() # entering q will break the loop, anything else keeps looping if sel == 'q': break …

Try: [code]text_file = open(car_model+".txt", "w") [/code]

Almost as good as driving in LA! Actually: [url]http://www.telfazy.com/[/url] has some interesting videos to watch.

What Windows Vista program runs the Compiled HTML Help Files (.chm)? Under properties only a meaningless descriptor shows up.

You use return: [code=python]def get_color(): color = raw_input("Enter the name of a color: ") # process it color = color.lower() return color pcolor = get_color() print pcolor [/code]

LOL, I like to see the teacher's face if jimbox123 turns in slate's code as homework!

You could bundle your Python program with py2exe and then call that .exe file from your C++ program.

Class instances have to be tested differently, since you also have to supply the class info (instance of what?): [code=python] >>> class Test: ... pass ... >>> t = Test() >>> type(t) <type 'instance'> >>> isinstance(t, Test) True >>> [/code]If you use the new style class, this becomes more apparent: …

You may have to use class methods __getstate__ and __setstate__ to pickle your type of class correctly.

I find those new popup ads from HSBC on DaniWeb very annoying and would in no way become a customer of HSBC. What are these folks thinking?
