Hi I think this topic is beyond my lame python abbilities.
I hope the program can run, it is writen by using error messages until it worked.
I am using python 33.
I am trying to learn info on adding leading zeros to the output.(File & Windows)
I am not sure if the variable that produces output is a list or int sometimes I think it is both :)possibly the varible (g)
either way, I am lost and have tried different things all day.
So if you have any Idea THANKS!

Output of File:
No leading zeros

4 5 33 48 57 - 41
2 27 38 54 58 - 4
8 24 30 53 57 - 46
8 17 25 42 55 - 15
15 22 34 36 47 - 7

Desired output of File:
Leading zeros

04 05 33 48 57 - 41
02 27 38 54 58 - 04
08 24 30 53 57 - 46
08 17 25 42 55 - 15
15 22 34 36 47 - 07

Why are your indentations so odd?

Here is the code, reindented with tim peter's reindent (not sure it would work without python 2)

Here is a way to produce a string with leading zeros:

>>> "{:0>1}".format(5)
'5'
>>> "{:0>2}".format(5)
'05'
>>> "{:0>3}".format(5)
'005'

Use 4 space characters and no tab to indent python code.

OK I understand "{:0>2}".format(5)
'05' but i can't find a place in the program to put it.
or I am not sure it will work with a list.

At line 49 (in my version), replace str() with zstr() and define

def zstr(ob, width = 2):
    return '{x:0>{width}s}'.format(x = str(ob), width = width)

OK I understand "{:0>2}".format(5)
'05' but i can't find a place in the program to put it.
or I am not sure it will work with a list.
since drawing = 4 26 31 38 39 and f= 5
and g = [4, 26, 31, 38, 39] and f=[5] in this example.
You think I need some string formatting functions?

format(5)

As I said above, use

        drawing = '  '.join( ['  '.join(zstr(G)  for  G  in g),' -',zstr(f[0])])

and the above function zstr().

nevermind i don't understand anything at all
like this

drawing = ' '.join( [' '.join(zstr(G) for G in g),' -',str(f[0])])
label5=tkinter.Label(app,text = drawing ).pack(padx=1,pady=2)
text_file = open("C:\output.txt","a")
text_file.write('\n')
text_file.write(drawing)
text_file.close()
i+=1

def zstr(ob, width = 2):
 drawing = ' '.join( [' '.join(zstr(G) for G in g),' -',zstr(f[0])])
label5=tkinter.Label(app,text = drawing ).pack(padx=1,pady=2)
text_file = open("C:\output.txt","a")
text_file.write('\n')
text_file.write(drawing)
text_file.close()
i+=1

Iam tatal lost in this

zstr does not change to violet color is this a python33 thing?

Is this what you mean at number 49.?

 drawing = '  '.join( ['  '.join(zstr(G)  for  G  in g),' -',zstr(f[0])])

I'm not sure where this goes also:
Does it go inside the while loop at 43.
and does anything go between def & return?

def zstr(ob, width = 2):
#
#
return '{x:0>{width}s}'.format(x = str(ob), width = width) 

Ok I will try it your way
thanks so much i hope this works

I ran the code and all it does is go here How are you running this?

>>> ================= RESTART =================
>>> 
>>> 

ok nevermind the above it worked on another copy with your changes
Thank so much!
