Take 5-10 min survey on animals, technology, and nature for a $20 Barnes&Noble gift certificate

2008-06-04 Thread aw
Hello,

I am a psychology student at University of Chicago conducting a survey
on animals, technology, and nature.  It takes only 5-10 minutes to
complete and every 20th participant will be emailed a $20 gift
certificate to Barnes & Noble.  This should be an interesting
opportunity to learn things about yourself as well.  To participate,
click on the link below.

You may only take the survey once and will be ineligible if you do so
more than once.

question about Tkinter delete

2011-11-06 Thread Kristen Aw
Hi all

I don't understand why I get this error. I'm trying to delete the existing 
points, then redraw them after this bit of code to 'animate' my simulation.

def update(self, point1, point2):
        # Deletes existing points
        if self.point1:
            self.w.delete(point1)
            self.master.update_idletasks()
        if self.point2:
            self.w.delete(point2)
            self.master.update_idletasks()
#draw new point
# . . .

The error message that I get is:
. . . in update
    self.w.delete(point1)
  File "C:\PYTHON26\LIB\LIB-TK\Tkinter.py", line 2181, in delete
    self.tk.call((self._w, 'delete') + args)
TclError: invalid command name ".44593760"--

Might hold true for some rants, but most of it's tl;dr drivel. For
instance, his critique of Lisp's homoiconicity is completely off-target.

So-called "IT" is driven by capitalistic impulses. Dijkstra and his
followers get dismissed as ivory tower intellectuals.

FUT warning.
