I am also trying to learn python and came across
I am confused. It looks to me as if the while loop will never work,
because it stays inside while <100 and further down in the loop, if
it is < 100, it should go out of the loop. How can it stay running
while <100 and yet go out if < 100?

Hi Nick,
Do you might if we simplify the problem slightly? Say that you're only
flipping the coin two times. Can you

Hello,
I'm not so sure about your problem, but
probably this code can help
sumHead, sumTail = 0,0
listHeadTime = [] listTailTime = [] for i in range(100): time_start = time.clock() coin = random.randint(0,1) # 0 head, 1 tail time_stop = time.clock()
As Danny says, try breaking the problem into chunks and solving
each bit separately. I'll provide a few comments on your code in
the meantime but try the "evolving soluition" approach too.
#assigning variables to track the amount of times heads or tails comes up
heads=0
tails=1

This may not be up to the standard of the more experienced programmer
but here is my effort. An added bit is the ability to go on using the
code until you are fed up.

So, for a newbie like me I might struggle with this one :-(
I saw that the thread in comp.lang.python talks about a deamon flag for
a thread. This sounds like a idea that could work. I don't know how to
use that, but will use the example given there.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've a question, essentially about the import statement. Suppose I have
two python files, a.py and b.py:
a.py
flag = True
def getFlag():
return flag
b.py
from a import *
now, in the interpreter:
>>> import b
>>> b.flag
True
>>> b.flag=False
>>> b.flag
False

Dear python experts,
I am a novice python learner and aspiring to become

Thank you for posting your code. That really helps us see where you are

I encourage you to "desk check" your code: pretend you are the
computer: write down the values of variables and expressions as things
change. Evaluate each statement to see what it does.

Ahh makes much more sense, thanks for all the help!
I'll go back and rework it, keeping in mind trying to solve each piece
separately.
Thanks again all.

Hi,
os.system will return the errorval of the application. You need to
1) get the pid of the child process
2) kill it using os.kill(os.SIGTERM)
3) reap the killed process
This is all in unix/linux, of course.
what I do (untested, please check order of args and correct usage of exec):
pid = os.

It's very likely that myspace is returning a cookie from the login, this

You can catch an error object along with the exception, as in:
try:
fileo = open("nofile")
except IOError, e:
print "Alas...", e
As you see, the error object has a string representation equal wo what
normally the python interpreter prints...
>>>
Alas... [Errno 2] No such file o
