Also generator for loop would not be so bad as OP is considering itertools: [CODE] import random def test(number): for count in range(number): yield random.random() the_list = list(test(5)) print the_list[/CODE]

It is customary to give the error message right after the input, not to take bunch of lines and then tell which lines are not valid if the program is used interactively, not reading from file input. One of handiest ways of dealing input from user is having own function, …

People want to see your current understanding from reading your code, which you can paste in to your message after pushing the (code) button. Same you can do for any error messages and sample input and output. From advanced view you can attach pictures like screen shots and zipped archives

And where is the calculus in this?

What is error message? What is it supposed to do? I see one class definition but not any creation of objects or the pygame main loop (which is explicit, not hidden). At least at line 8 you seem to have second parameter misplaced inside quotes: [url]http://www.pygame.org/ctypes/pygame-api/pygame.font.Font-class.html#__init__[/url] I added in beginning …

it is possible, though simpler is to make a number range of n repeated key_num//n +1 times, shufle and then divide list of keys by taking zip(my_dict.keys(), index_list)

You could use something like: [CODE]import random valid_range= (4,6,10,12,20,100) choice = 0 while not 0 < choice <= len(valid_range): try: choice = int(raw_input("what die would you like to use: "+''.join("\n\t%i) upto %i" % (ind+1,top) for ind, top in enumerate(valid_range)) + '\n\t')) if not 0 < choice <= len(valid_range): raise ValueError …

Notice that because of recursion limit of Python, you can sort only very short lists with recursive algorihm. Therefore iterative version would be lot better (and best would be the built in sort).

You could create file of same name from read in file from ziparchive, you will not get same file attributes though: [CODE]from zipfile import ZipFile as zf with zf('j:/Lataukset/Vb6501.zip') as f, open('MSBIND.DLL', 'wb') as out: out.write(f.read('Vb6501/MSBIND.DLL')) [/CODE]

Why you do not do everything in Python? What external program does except creating the directory?

put in print or assert statements to get values of variables at point of error. You did not include image files to run your code.

You can assign tuple of values to tuple of variables in Python [CODE]>>> a,b = 0,1 >>> print(a,b) (0, 1)[/CODE] You can also do this: [CODE]>>> yes, no = 'YN' >>> print(yes) Y >>> print(no) N [/CODE]

You generate though all factors, not only prime factors, and the print on line three does not also work as num is integer. The number of possible factorings increase much faster than number of prime factors (as for each number which has power n you take every power 1..n => …

I do not understand the a variable which is overwritten and never used. Why don't you just substract the new origin from all points?

Looks like copy paste code. What documents have you studied? What kind of changes have you tried?

Look up yield from python documentation and change return to yield in two helper_functions. Alternatively collect the result in the [iCODE]for[/iCODE] in string variable or list.

Also your indention is of (maybe only copy paste error). And it is good practice to learn to use with statement which automatically will close the file for you after processing and also if there is error in file handling in the block. Here is shown how to get easier …

This is double thread see Gribouillis answer in other thread.

[code]found = - 1 for search in list2: if seach in list1[found+1:]: found = list1.index(search) #handle correct case else: # not found case[/code] Show effort by finishing the code. This code as is would start again from begining if there is not matching letter in list2.

I think Gribouillis function works beautifully. Just use that for time column and use int() for other values in line. Post your code and error messages and description of your efforts to solve the problem if you get stuck.

CODE-tags would also help.
