[Tutor] raw_input into range() function
Hello,
I am trying to do the exercises in Michael Dawson's "Absolute Beginner"
book. In chapter four ("for Loops, Strings, and Tuples") one of the
challenges is: "Write a program that counts for the user. Let the user
enter the starting number, the ending number, and the amount by which to
count."
The code I have come up with so far is further below; basically my
problem is that I don't know how to feed the range() function with the
user-input numbers it expects.
Your help is highly appreciated!
Guba
# Counting Program
# 2007-04-18
# Welcoming the player
print "Hello, let me do some counting for you!"
# Telling the player what to do & assigning that info to variables.
start_num = int(raw_input("Please give me a starting number. "))
end_num = int(raw_input("Please give me an ending number. "))
interval = int(raw_input("By which amount am I to count? "))
start_num == 0
end_num == 1
interval == 2
print "Counting:"
for i in range(0, 1, 2):
print i
raw_input("\n\nHit Enter to exit.")

Just use the variable names instead of the numbers:
for i in range(start_num, end_num, interval):

[Tutor] Mixing generator expressions with list definitions

Hi, I am working on an implementation of an L-system in Python. I hate using turtle module since it uses Tk and as my IDE also uses Tk I have to close my editor before I can test the program. So I am implementing the graphics using PIL. Now to the problem. Say you have a line AB with co-ords (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Say you also have a point C with co-ords (x3,y3). Question: how to determine whether point C is to the left or to the right of the line AB? Any suggestions would be welcome.

I thought I'd got past the point where there were stupidly simple
answers to my questions ;) Oh well. Thanks yet again, Kent.

Yeah, that's how I had ben doing it. I don't really like it for some
reason, though I'm not clear why I don't like it. I think maybe
because it's quite verbose so it's a bit difficult for me to read it
afterwards, and makes typos more likely ;)

Sorry, I oversimplfied my example. I'm actually doing:
widgets = [(organisation_widget,(),{'organisation':organisation})]
widgets.extend([(event_widget,(),{'event':event}) for event in
organisation.events])
widgets.append((event_form,(),{'values':values}))
so that later on I can just iterate through the widgets like so:
for (widget, args, kwargs) in widgets:
widget.display(*args, **kwargs)

Write an equation for the line AB in the form x = Wy + Z (as opposed to y = mx + b, which is the usual form). 2. Substitute the value for y3 in that equation - it will give you the value of x on that line (call it X3). 3. Compare x3 with X3. A quick derivation gave me (please verify) x = [(x2-x1) y + x1 y2 - x2 y1]/(y2-y1) where the multiplication signs are implicit. Good luck!

[Tutor] screen scraping web-based email
Hello. I've been playing with Python for a while, and even have some small scripts in my employ, but I have a bit of a problem and I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm starting graduate school (econ!) in the Fall; the school I'll be attending uses Lotus for email and allows neither forwarding nor POP/IMAP access. This is - for many, many reasons - *quite* unacceptable to me. I'd like to write a daemon that logs into the text-based web client every so often, scrapes for new email, and uses smtplib to send that email to another email address. But I really don't know how I'd go about logging in and staying logged in without a browser. Hints are appreciated. Am I wrong-headed about this? Any other options available to me? (I know I could do it with a torturous combination of applescript and python ... but I'd like to avoid that, plus I'd like something remotely portable.) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

So far so good, if the user enters integers for all 3 inputs. All you
need now is:
print "Counting:"
for i in range(start_num, end_num, interval):
print i
>
> start_num == 0

These are expressions that compare a variable to a constant. They
contribute nothing to the program.

Your attempt to read input is never used, and your variable
assignments are not correct.
You are using the test operator '==' instead of the assignment
operator '='. The lines:
"""
start_num == 0
end_num == 1
interval == 2
"""
do something you aren't trying to do here. Those lines are testing to
see if start_num equals zero, and then ignoring what the test result
is. They don't actually *do* anything.
Your code should look like this:
print "Hello, let me do some counting for you!"
start_num = int(raw_input("Please give me a starting number. "))
end_num = int(raw_input("Please give me an ending number. "))
interval = int(raw_input("By which amount am I to count? "))
print "Counting:"
for i in range(start_num, end_num, interval):
print i

Kent has pointed you at useful add-on modules. Using the standard library consider the urllib2 library (way better than urllib) and I believe the email module rather than the smtlib is the current preferred route. But I'd still recommend Beautiful Soup for parsing the HTML the HTMLParser module can be used but its less reliable and more work. PS.

[Tutor] How to program to python the right way?
Hello everyone, I have pretty much finished hacking on my Thesis and I have come to the conclusion, I really do not know how to use Python to it "full" extent. Some of the things I have really messed up in my implementation are serialization (specifically sub-classes), classes, and instantiating them the "correct" way, and there are some things I have not tried, but I would like to like contained execution and thread management. Are there any books (with examples) out there that show some of these techniques and explain the gotchas that come with the package. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Tutor] Seeking python projects
Writing your own programs is a good idea. However, this is primarily a good idea with small programs. For example, when learning Python, I wrote a set of backup scripts for my computer; I still use them and they've served me well. If you want to write 'complete applications,' you're probably better off helping with a project that has already started. This is important for a few reasons. First, you'll learn about Python packaging and documentation standards, and possibly things like unit tests as well. These are things that often escape new programmers, but are very important for large-scale projects. Second, you'll be far more likely to make a contribution this way. If you decide to implement your own py(insert App Name here), you'll probably never get done. Scratch that, you'll almost certainly never get done (I speak from experience). Find a open-source Python project that needs someone (Sourceforge actually has a 'job listings' page) and help them out instead. You'll learn a lot of practical things and quickly become a better programmer, as opposed to simply reimplementing the same mistakes over and over as I did :-) Asrar Kadri wrote: > Hi folks, > > I want to practice Python programming by developing complete applications. > > Where can I get such problems, which can improve my Python programming > skills. > > Thanks in anticipation. > > Regards, > > Asrar > > > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The OP can use Python to drive applescript in a similar way to Windows users driving COM. The MacPython package includes functions to interface to applescript. There are examples of doing this in the book MacOS Hacks by O'Reilly (albeit from Perl, but the Python interface is, I believe, very similar) So that might be an alternative route.
