In Spain the working people are obligated by the state to contributed to the Roman Catholic Church whether they want or not. This is accomplished via income tax, but is not deductible. In fact, many even don't know that some of their money goes to the archives of the Catholic Church.
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. -- Henry Ford
The information a statusbar can display can come handy:
# set up a customized statusbar with three display fields
# a statusbar is typically an information line at the bottom of a window
import wx
import time
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, mytitle, mysize):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, mytitle, size=mysize)
# fill the top part with a panel
panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
panel.SetBackgroundColour("blue")
self.sb = wx.StatusBar(self, wx.ID_ANY)
# set the status bar with three fields
self.sb.SetFieldsCount(3)
# set an absolute status field width in pixels
# (negative indicates a variable width field)
self.sb.SetStatusWidths([-1, -1, -1])
self.SetStatusBar(self.sb)
# put some text into field 0 (most left field)
self.sb.SetStatusText("some text in field 0", 0)
self.sb.SetStatusText("some text in field 1", 1)
# use a timer to drive a date/time string in field 3
# here the most right field of the statusbar
self.timer = wx.PyTimer(self.onUpdate)
# update every 1000 milliseconds
self.timer.Start(1000)
self.onUpdate()
def onUpdate(self):
t = time.localtime(time.time())
st = time.strftime("%d-%b-%Y %I:%M:%S", t)
# put date/time display string into field 2
self.sb.SetStatusText(st, 2)
app = wx.App(0)
# create a MyFrame instance and show the frame
MyFrame(None, 'test the wx.StatusBar', (460, 300)).Show()
app.MainLoop()
Since both present presidential candidates are questioning trade policies, here is a word of wisdom from the present President: "It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce."

Okay, here is a simple create a window, input through an Entry, action with a Button and output to a Label code example:
# a simple Tkinter number guessing game
# shows how to create a window, an entry, a label, a button,
# a button mouse click response, and how to use a grid for layout
from Tkinter import *
import random
def click():
"""the mouse click command response"""
global rn
# get the number from the entry area
num = int(enter1.get())
# check it out
if num > rn:
label2['text'] = str(num) + " guessed too high!"
elif num < rn:
label2['text'] = str(num) + " guessed too low!"
else:
s1 = str(num) + " guessed correctly!"
s2 = "\n Let's start a new game!"
label2['text'] = s1 + s2
# pick a new random number
rn = random.randrange(1, 11)
enter1.delete(0, 2)
# create the window and give it a title
root = Tk()
root.title("Heidi's Guess A Number Game")
# pick a random integer from 1 to 10
rn = random.randrange(1, 11)
# let the user know what is going on
label1 = Label(root, text="Guess a number between 1 and 10 -->")
# layout this label in the specified row and column of the grid
# also pad with spaces along the x and y direction
label1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=10)
# this your input area
enter1 = Entry(root, width=5, bg='yellow')
enter1.grid(row=1, column=2, padx=10)
# put the cursor into the entry field
enter1.focus()
# this is your mouse …
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:
# create a splash screen, 80% of display screen size, centered,
# displaying a GIF image with needed info, disappearing after 5 seconds
import Tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
# show no frame
root.overrideredirect(True)
width = root.winfo_screenwidth()
height = root.winfo_screenheight()
root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (width*0.8, height*0.8, width*0.1, height*0.1))
# take a .jpg picture you like, add text with a program like PhotoFiltre
# (free from http://www.photofiltre.com) and save as a .gif image file
image_file = "LakeSplash.gif"
#assert os.path.exists(image_file)
# use Tkinter's PhotoImage for .gif files
image = tk.PhotoImage(file=image_file)
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=height*0.8, width=width*0.8, bg="brown")
canvas.create_image(width*0.8/2, height*0.8/2, image=image)
canvas.pack()
# show the splash screen for 5000 milliseconds then destroy
root.after(5000, root.destroy)
root.mainloop()
# your console program can start here ...
print "How did you like my informative splash screen?"
Shortly after Thomas Jefferson took office, he wrote the following about George Washington: "Though an able commander, I presume the General knows little of diplomacy and tact. His manner is often rude and his mood is quite unstable."
Even though he only made it up to the rank of captain, you could say the same thiing about John McCain.

Good job Billy
I go along with that! Bill Gates had a vision and will keep going with it!
One of the features of Python3 will be that the division operator / will give a float result ( // is used for integer divisions as usual ). You can use this feature now by importing the __future__ module. Test it out with this example:
# access Python3 features like / for float division
from __future__ import division
print "Enter a math statement like 355/113 or (2+3)/2 ..."
while True:
result = input("Statement: ")
print result
if raw_input("Continue? (y, n)").lower() == 'n': break
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:
from __future__ import division
print "Welcome to SCLMIP(Simple Calculator For Linux Made In Python)"
while True:
equation = input("Equation: ")
print equation
if raw_input("Continue? (Y,N)").upper() == 'N': break
else:
print "Exiting..."
