Well, it took George Bush eight years to make such an ungodly mess, so it will take Barack Obama and his team a little while to fix it. The first things you may see is that the torture of prisoners is gone, and the US will treat other countries like …

In Python it would look like: [code=python]fout = open("test1.txt", "w") fout.write("save something ...\n") fout.write("save something more ...\n") fout.close() # or C++ style (allowed in Python2) fout = open("test2.txt", "w") print >>fout, "save something ..." print >>fout, "save something more ..." fout.close() # more like PERL import sys old = sys.stdout …

Your problem is too simple to bother with regex: [code=python]mylist = ['adam', 'bill', 'jon/juan'] newlist = [item.replace('/', '') for item in mylist] print(mylist) # ['adam', 'bill', 'jon/juan'] print(newlist) # ['adam', 'bill', 'jonjuan'] [/code]

Maybe something like this: [code=python]import random low = 1 high = 9 mylist = [(random.randint(low, high), ) for k in range(10)] print(mylist) """ a possible display of one element tuples --> [(9,), (5,), (6,), (2,), (8,), (3,), (4,), (2,), (6,), (1,)] """ [/code]

Not quite sure what you want, but maybe function zip() will help: [code=python]buy_list = [1,2,3,4,9,11,77,99] sell_list = [0,7,8,10,12,15] # removes the excess items of the longer list buy_sell = zip(buy_list, sell_list) print buy_sell for buy, sell in buy_sell: print buy, sell """ my display --> [(1, 0), (2, 7), (3, …

Python 2.5.4 is the version I have installed. Python 2.6 has all sorts of problems at least on Windows, since it is compiled with a different MS C compiler. A good number of modules are simply not available for Python 2.6. Python 2.6 is supposed to help you to transition …

Germany during WW2 send many of their most educated people to the frontline because the ultra rightwing government in charge in those days did not like well educated people.

In order to make buttons behave like standard buttons in your dialog box, you simply create an image button from a standard button and an image: [code=python]class BitmapDialog(wx.Dialog): def __init__(self, text): wx.Dialog.__init__(self, None, -1, title="BitmapDialog", size=(250,150)) bmp = wx.Bitmap('ok.png') w, h = bmp.GetSize() x = 35 y = 90 wx.StaticBitmap(self, …

Use this to clear the screen on a console program: [code=python]import sys # on Windows os.system("CLS") # on Linux os.system('clear') [/code] Also for my taste avoid using globals, they can get you into conflicts.

This line: if float(path_value[i]) == float(line1000[0]): will give you major headaches, since floats are usually off by very small values and are such not always equal.

You got to give us your code.

Starting with and empty string, you have to build up your code string in the loop, and then write it to the file outside the loop: [code=python]def encode(): mess = raw_input ("Enter message:") joinnum = "" for i in mess: nummess = ord (i) * 2 * 7 + 3 …

Please do not mix tabs and spaces for indentations in your code. Makes a mess of your code when I copy it into my editor! Many editors have different spaces per tab settings. Use spaces only, preferably 4 spaces like most programmers use! Your problem is here: [code=python] for j …

Just an observation, I would avoid using variable names like l1, l2 and so on, they look a lot like numbers 11, 12. Here is an example how to use Python function map(): [code=python]q = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # map applies float() to every element in the list …

My advice, don't use the Python Shell for programming, use an editor. The Python Shell interative interpreter is only for very short tests. It is basically there to confuse beginners and discourage them from using Python. :)

Oh yes, Python has an array type, but you must import module array: [code=python]# module array has Python's array type import array # Python25 use 'c' as the character typecode # Python30 uses unicode character typecode 'u' char_array = array.array('c', 'hello world') print(char_array[0]) # h print(char_array) # array('c', 'hello world') …

Welcome to this forum. Since just about everything in Python is an object, you are doing OOP already. Look at it this way, a class is just one more convenient tool to group things together. If the class concept bothers you, you can do major programming without it. After all, …
