Re: [Tutor] Creating a Choose Your Own Adventure Game :p:

Thanks for the info Thomas. I have heard of github but not bitbucket. I have tried PyPI once from another book(HeadFirst series) but never went further. I don't even know yet if this is something worthy of making available to a broader audience. Outside of my blog and a few select other people,

Re: [Tutor] Value Error

int('blah') is not a type error because the int() function is expecting to be given a string, and it was given a string. The 'blah' is of the correct type. The problem is that int() couldn't do anything useful with the value of that string. Steve On 12-Jun-2013, at 14:41, Jim Mooney wrote: >

Jim Mooney schreef: Although I'm not sure why int('blah') wouldn't be a type error rather than a value error. Because passing a string to int() is perfectly okay, as long as the string has an appropriate value: int('42') works, int('forty two') raises ValueError. -- "People almost invariabl
