Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how I'm having trouble executing this piece of code:
mpg = raw_input (" Enter your mileage:")distance = raw_input ("Enter your distance:")galon_price = raw_input ("Enter you cost per gallon:")make = "Honda"model = "Accord"##print make, model, "mileage is", mpg, "miles

raw_input reads in the value as a string, so you need
to convert it at some point to a number. You can
either do this at the point where you read the value
in, or when you do the calculation/print.
To convert it at the input stage (probably the most
logical), add float() such as
mpg = float(raw_i
You had a typo with the variable 'gallon_price' and your formula for the
total cost was incorrect. Adding float() for the raw_input helps.
This code gets you closer:
mpg = float(raw_input ("Enter your mileage:"))
distance = float(raw_input ("Enter your distance:"))
gallon_price = float(raw_inpu
Thanks Kelly.
The second version works.
print "Total trip cost is US$", float(distance) /(float(mpg) * float(galon_price))Matt

Hi Matt,
Although this works, we'll probably want to do the type conversions as
early as possible. We can write a function input_float() that wraps up
the float(raw_input()) s

Hi Everyone,
I am getting an odd traceback when using a class.
The class I am using is

This suggests that it's to be invoked along the lines of:
foo = TriggerMessage(data)

And this as:
bar = foo.decode()

Danny,
I just made some changes, but I still can't get my file saved on my local drive:
here is the new version of the code:

Perhaps

The decode method depends on "data" which is referenced as a global.

Ok. Up to what part of the program works?
Don't just say it doesn't work: can you try isolating what parts are

Danny,
This script has to do two things:
1) Hit a site where I would like to download something
2) Read it what the file
3) Download it locally.
I'm a beginner, but according to what it is printing I'm thinking it is opening and is able to read the site (I'm wrong since I have been studying Pytho

You need to step back a bit and get a better understanding of
variables
and functions and how to use them. You are trying to run before you
can walk.

I'm not sure which order it covers things but somewhere soon

Hi,
How can I set tab as default indendation for the file editor window in
IDLE? I tried to change this in "Configuration Window" and "Apply", but
still get 4 spaces. What does work is setting indentation to "8" and
then enabling toggle tabs when I open a new window.
Thanks,
Cecilia

Hello list,
I want to use the module StringIO as read and write strings as files, I
looked into document but cannot understand.
Could anyone give me a simple example?
something like:

Hi Jennifer,
We probably can not help you much with this. It would help very much if
you could somehow explain why you posted this question here on Tutor. It
is not obvious how this is rel
use print!
print calendart.calendar(2006)
