Works correctly. Order of operations. This also works: [CODE](-1+0j)**.5[/CODE] without error.

Python for .Net is good, but [URL="ironpython.net"]IronPython[/URL] is better. It's Python written in C#, and you can use it with Visual Studio 2010. Check out the main website. Main use of Python? It's easy and powerful. You can embed it in your C# application if you want. You can also …

Definitely Panda3D. Disney uses it.

Embedded in your C# windows application? That sounds like IronPython. You can add a reference to IronPython and Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting assemblies to embed a Python application inside your C# one.

Why do you have so many global statements? Or did glade do that? You should have self.r, self.a1, etc instead of them all being global. Global is bad.

I repro-d your error with this: [CODE]"".replace(0.02,0)[/CODE] What exactly are you trying to do?

What you seem to be trying to do is multiply a list by another list. What do you expect the results to be?

Either externally in a configuration file or database, or in the registry for Windows. There is no other way. EDIT: or environment variables

Well, you won't get an experience like those C# reporters, I think, because there really isn't a Visual Studio for Python. You can take a look at this SO question: [URL="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/177799/what-is-a-good-pdf-report-generator-tool-for-python"]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/177799/what-is-a-good-pdf-report-generator-tool-for-python[/URL]

Always use os.path.join! It's much easier and there's less room for error. [icode]workPath = os.path.join('Prod','Projects',project,'shots',path,'render','REN')[/icode]

[QUOTE=tonyjv;1261087]I was meaning this Linux command: [url]http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_file.htm[/url][/QUOTE] I think he also needs a Windows method. If you want to write in a specific encoding, then you can do this: [CODE]import codecs out = open("myfile.txt", "w") out.write(codecs.BOM_UTF8) #makes it obvious what encoding it is out.write(unicode(mytext,"UTF-8")) out.close()[/CODE] If you try to write …

[QUOTE=ultimatebuster;1260490]Python is extremely uncommon for use with websites. Sure, it's powerful, easy, but when it comes to real website (assuming that's what you want to do), you need php.[/QUOTE] Very untrue. "Real website"? Is washingtonpost real enough? PHP is great, but Rails and Django are simply much more powerful. ASP.NET …

Can we have the entire code? Just "POINT" does really narrow it down much.

This is a debugger/disassembler written in Python: [url]http://pedram.redhive.com/PyDbg/docs/[/url]

It's always read from the file. Where did you hear otherwise?

Very sorry, I don't think any of us have ever used Zope. I think you are better off asking somewhere else.

You can do this [CODE]longnumber = long(longnumber) #and it should display the whole thing[/CODE] The << is operation left-shift.

I'm not understanding the question at all. Do you want to create a list of lists?

[QUOTE=echellwig;1257892]Inserting %s didn't seem to do anything except put %s in my outfile. I think the problem is that the program is writing literally what I put in the command. So I need a way for it not to do that, if that's possible.[/QUOTE] That means you did something wrong. …

[QUOTE=griswolf;1255778]woops. My bad. This is why we need constructors... I was just typing, not actually trying. I should learn.

One thing I see is [icode]while done==False[/icode] You should change that to [icode]while not done[/icode] Also, you should have the imports at the beginning, not in the middle of a while loop, since you only import once, usually at the beginning of execution.

Well, ethernet cables connect to your network card, so you'll be dealing with your network card mainly. You need to search for modules that allow for [icode]packet capture[/icode] and things like that.

[QUOTE=Garrett85;1253989]No. It's not the exactly the same thing as pygame and I'M afraid it wont work with the book I'M trying to learn how to program with.

You said earlier that Python cannot do case statements. It can somewhat do that, in a different fashion, like this: [CODE]if a==1: pass #do something elif a==2: pass #do some other thing else: pass[/CODE] which is like [CODE=C#]switch(a) { case 1: //do something break; case 2: //do some other thing …

Why don't you do, [icode]unsortedT = text1.get(1.0, END).split("\n")[/icode] and then [icode]text1.insert(END, "\n".join(sortedT)[/icode]

Interesting right? If you read [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1252636.html"]this[/URL] amazing tutorial by lionaneesh, you will understand why I posted this brain-boggling code.

The external module should never need some code from the main module, so as griswolf said, you should probably refactor the code.

Wouldn't using itertools.permutations be easier?

That's what GetWindowText is supposed to do If you want to get the contents, you have to do something like this: [CODE]import win32gui as w WM_GETTEXTLENGTH = 0x0E WM_GETTEXT = 0x0D t1 = w.SendMessage(hwnd, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0, 0) #hwnd has to be the handle to the text control t = " …

tonyjv, I fixed your code so it does work. There are some intricacies of magic methods that are tricky. [CODE]# This class describes the currency in terms of its name and conversion rate. class Currency(object): def __init__(self, name, rate): self.name = name self.rate = rate # This class allows for …

To clarify tonyjv's post, let's so for instance to open daniweb in the default browser would be: [icode]os.startfile("http://www.daniweb.com/")[/icode]

This is the kind of question you might want to ask on the Python mailing list. The masters are there.

Well, in your situation, they are the same: Let's look at this: [CODE]if True: print("A") elif True: print("B")[/CODE] Would display A. Now this: [CODE]if True: print("A") if True: print("B")[/CODE] Would display A B Get it? Of course, in your situation, os.name can't be two things at once, and elif is …

sure, here's an example: [CODE]import ctypes user32 = ctypes.windll.user32 while True: inputhex = raw_input("Please enter your desired key's code (HEX): ") keycode = int(inputhex, 16) #VOID keybd_event(BYTE bVk, BYTE bScan, DWORD dwFlags, PTR dwExtraInfo); user32.keybd_event(keycode,0,2,0) #2 is the code for KEYDOWN user32.keybd_event(keycode,0,0,0) #0 is the code for KEYUP [/CODE] Keycodes …

Tuples aren't necessarily points logically. When comparing lesser than or greater than with tuples, the first element is compared.

Well... I don't think many of us use Python for Symbian, so it's best that you ask on a Symbian forum, but I see that you already have. I don't think the API for turning on and off bluetooth/wifi/and vibration etc. is public.

The datetime module could be a great help.

MonoDevelop is for .NET, so I think the Python binding is actually IronPython. You can use either [URL="http://ironpython.net/tools/"]IronPython Tools for Visual Studio[/URL], which supports somewhat good code-completion, a WPF designer, and some better Silverlight support. Of course, you'll need at least Visual Studio 2010, and you can get for free …

Not part of the standard library, but you can download them and install them easily.

Private attributes are stupid for dynamic languages. Don't you see Python is dynamic and strongly typed, and C++ is dynamic and strongly typed? Python doesn't have them for a reason. It contributes to the beauty of the Python language. So in other words, it is a [I]feature[/I]. Even private attributes …

It seems you would use the CallAfter method, as illustrated by sergb. Just remember CallAfter calls its target after the function exits, not immediately.

[QUOTE=thejinx0r;1229721]I guess I want it to behave as though it was part of my wallpaper. Because when I click on "show Desktop" it still minimizes the window ( in both examples ).[/QUOTE] That is not possible as cross-platform.

Are you sure it's a .NET assembly? Not all dll's work.

Well, you need to first write a class. That class should have a method that is something like [I]newOrder()[/I], and also a collection orders. Then work from there.

You don't need that many global statements. Actually, the use of global is discouraged. Since catalog variable is constant, just declare it in the beginning of your file.

What do you mean? I can't exactly understand what you are trying to do...

Your project is unique and complex in design, and I fully understand the problems you have right now. I don't have any knowledge of PyGame, so I can't really help you with the top-most concept (which is what problems #1-3 are related to) Perhaps, after the window.update() method is called, …

tonyjv's solution should be the best for conciseness.
