Check this my code in the end of one thread about circles. Play with the code [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post1193986.html#post1193986[/url]

Here tool functions, which came up during discussions earlier. Expanded slightly, added elimination of traceback prints by try..except. Added dd.mm.yy routine as that is format in my home country Finland. Optimized docstring beginnings to be informative in editor tooltip (at least IDLE shows, but code must be run or imported …

Yes you can: [CODE]mydict = {} mydict['key1'] = 2000 mydict['key2'] = 3000 mydict['key3'] = 6000 for x in range(1000,8000,1000): print x,(x in mydict.values()) and "is" or "is not", "in set" [/CODE]

I would use split, map and join again, if I do not want to keep exact whitespace [CODE] >>> a="the book of my dreams" >>> a.capitalize() 'The book of my dreams' >>> a.split() ['the', 'book', 'of', 'my', 'dreams'] >>> map(lambda x: x.capitalize(), a.split()) ['The', 'Book', 'Of', 'My', 'Dreams'] >>> " …

Try to find a use for fd() command and left/right moving instead of goto in your program. [CODE] from turtle import * circle(100) up() left(90) fd(100) left(90) down() circle(80) mainloop() [/CODE] [I](If one number in this program is changed and one command is changed, this program draws two concentric circles.)[/I]

You forgot to attach the images to your post, so we can not test the code (easily).

Standard way is to have seconds since some starting time or day with floating point number (say Visual Basic). [CODE] #!/usr/bin/env python episode_date=[] epdatestart = '10/1/2009' epdate = epdatestart.split('/') epdateend = epdate[2]+'-' + epdate[0]+'-' + epdate[1] print str(epdatestart) print str(epdateend) """ Output: >>> 10/1/2009 2009-10-1 >>> """ [/CODE]

Here is adapted to you and my own use version of timestr function. Notice that normal use of time for logging etc becomes easier when can put only timestr() for time values and have fuction to make it human understandable.

Attack the task line by line in python command line. Don't get confused with define, as python has not definition, you just pick up one small number from your head for the variable After success in command line write the successfull lines to file and prove to run it and …

This is that da Vinci code I listened the other day? This genius used mirror writing so that nobody could understand his documentation. Microsoft security chief wasn't he?

Maybe you could adapt this my code [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread274273.html[/url] or [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread273625.html[/url] Basically you can use the built in functions max or min, but must take the part of list which has the numbers only.
