well if you're saying that you want it to do that prior to the input=='' then you could simply make two while loops changing the first to exclude the file reading, like:
while True:
inp = input('Enter text, or "Enter" to quit: ')
if inp =="":
break
else:
inp+='\n'
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','a')
oinp.write(inp,)
oinp.close()
while True:
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','r')
for line in oinp:
print('')#prettier
print(line)
oinp.close()
print('')#I just needed to make it prettier
inp = input('Enter text, or "Enter" to quit: ')
if inp =="":
break
else:
inp+='\n'
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','a')
oinp.write(inp,)
oinp.close()
Although this is essentially repeating yourself, which is best to avoid.
If you could post the exact assignment that might clear things up, I'm just having 2 issues with this: 1,Posting python to a site isn't really a "beginner" project, 2, Making the output color in IDLE change isn't something that's common practice.
Maybe because of the print imp? I'm not sure, this worked fine for me:
while True:
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','r')
for line in oinp:
print(line)
oinp.close()
print('')#I just needed to make it prettier
inp = input('Enter text, or "Enter" to quit: ')
if inp == "":
break
else:
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','a')
oinp.write(inp,)
oinp.close()
ugh too late to edit. Anyways I meant to post this.
while True:
oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','r')

print('')#prettier
print(line)
oinp.close()
print('')#I just needed to make it prettier

break
else:

oinp = open('open_inputs.txt','a')
oinp.write(inp,)

I'm trying to figure out how to deal with multiple matches in my address book, say the user has two people by the name of Bob; one is Bob Lastname and the other is Bob Namelast, how would you approach dealing with telling them to specify, and then allowing them to do so and get a result. Also, what if a user just has two contacts named Bob with no last name, what would you do then? I've got a temporary system in place that checks the within a given len of the input against a given len of the keys at hand, but that has several issues as I'm sure you can imagine.

Choose some prep up from tasks from beginners sticky thread of Vegaseat, maybe it hurts your pride, but I warmly recommend it. Or you can do math code for projecteuler.net (I am tonyjv there, inactive for some months).
How should I invoke another classes methods without using the instance?
I'm working on those instance referring classes, I'm just not sure how to access methods otherwise, I guess my learning material is poor. Whenever I try to refer to another classes methods without the instance I get an error claiming the Class has no such method.
if you return depth from this function, although it's not a global variable, can it still be used elsewhere in the code? I've never seen the function being called to show the value from it as you did at the end. also, ouch, my ego :-o
Hi I thought iI would try to teach myself how to program, so sorry if this has been asked before but I could find it. What I am trying to do is limit an input to of an int to 50 or less with out the program throwing up an error. This is what i have so far :-
#start of input loop while True: try: deep = int(raw_input('Enter Depth in meters :- ',)) break except ValueError: print 'Enter whole meters only!(round up if needed!)' #end of loop
I want deep <= 50 and if it not to loop back to the input line. Thanks
Ali I see you messed up with the code button, just hit it once and
'you\'ll be able to' input('your code here: ')
this will make it easier to read. Hope we were able to help you.
okay=False
depth=0
def dcheck():
global depth
global okay
while not okay:
try:
depth=int(input('Enter depth in range(0,50): '))
if depth in range(0,51):
print(depth)
okay=True
return okay
else:
print('Invalid Depth')
okay=False
except:
print('Invalid input')
dcheck()
TrustyTony commented: Common.... terrible code, to be honest.-3
okay, I understand, I've just yet to use the yield function. Is it essentially the same as return? Also, how would it be possible to be done otherwise?
depth=int(input('Depth: '))
def depther():
global depth
try:
if depth <=50 and depth>0:
print(depth)
else:
while depth>50 or depth<0:
print('Incorrect range')
depth=int(input('Depth: '))
print(depth)
except:
print('Invalid input')
depth=int(input('Depth: '))
if depth <=50 and depth>0:
print(depth)
else:
while depth>50 or depth<0:
print('Incorrect range')
depth=int(input('Depth: '))
print(depth)
I defined depth test as a function so it can be reused. Also I used except to cover any error, you may not wish to do this, it's just my preference in cases like this. Now that you know this how do you suppose you would prevent the user from entering a negative depth?
And yes I'm aware that Gmail is more properly webmail as opposed to a mail client. On a related note is there a way to have the To: field automatically filled upon opening a message composition page in gmail? I'm sure there's a much better way to do email than the way I'm doing it, but I suppose the real issue at hand for me is the fact that the third level toplevel is opening WAY too small and the title doesn't show.
Okay, now firefox is being used as the default browser for it, I don't know why there was a delay. But still nothing is working for webbrowser.get('whateverbrowser')
however trying the get() method in interactive mode also raises an error:
>>> webbrowser.get('mozilla')#same with 'firefox'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#12>", line 1, in <module>
webbrowser.get('mozilla')
File "C:\Python32\lib\webbrowser.py", line 53, in get
raise Error("could not locate runnable browser")
webbrowser.Error: could not locate runnable browser
I'm pretty sure. I've also tried the path to firefox, which didn't work. This wouldn't be such an annoying issue if it didn't work in interactive mode either, but it does webbrowser.open('www.google.com') opens an instance of firefox, so why wouldn't it work in the program?
After marking gofish up to a temporary loss I've moved back to my address book. The issue I'm currently having is that webbrowser is opening the wrong broswer. I've set my default browser to firefox (currently using windows vista), and yet the program is still opening IE, however when I tried webbrowser.open('whatever') it opened with firefox. Below is the relevant code, any ideas?
what's the specific problem with the code? Also have you tried livewires? It's a module for pygame and I prefer the simplicity. My first "game" I wrote in it is below, the only thing that would need to be modified would be collision detection on the sprites, and the event grab if you didn't want to use the mouse as I did.

games.screen.add(snake)

fixed infinite loop @ line 42. Rules are simple: ask ai for card in your hand, if they have it the cards are tossed and your score goes up by 1 if not then you draw a card, if that's the card you need the cards are tossed and score goes up by 1, then the ai does the same and it goes back and forth until player or ai is out of cards at which point the scores are tallied.
updated a bit, however there's still something wrong with ai.cards. On it's first round it claims ai.cards[0] index is out of range?

I have no idea what went wrong with my most recent code, but I suspect it has something to do with the following so I'll start there. Did I do something wrong in this?

I agree with Enalicho. However I can suggest that you write out in pseudo-code what you want the program to do. Pay close attention to using the words input and while. Also, think about the number(s) that need to increase and how they may do that. Post some code and we may help more.
