[Tutor] war cards
hello all, i have been rolling the idea of writing a simple script to play the classic card game war. i thought it would be good for me because their is no skill in the game. while thinking of how to write it i got stuck on one bit, how do i make it so that their is one of each card and i can split them? any help would be great ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] PythonCard error checking
Hello everyone, I've just started trying PythonCard to build a simple GUI for a little application I'm writing. Just wondering if anyone knows the "proper" way to do some simple error checking: for example, I have a textField, and I wish to check that only integers within a certain range are entered into it. I know I can just enclose that block of code in a try .. except clause, just that I'm not sure what to do once I've caught say, a ValueError exception. It certainly would not be a fatal error and I would like to prompt the user to re-enter the value, but how should I return to that point of program execution? Any help from the PythonCard gurus would be appreciated. Happy holidays! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Also on this list we aim to help you where you are stuck, and it is not clear where you are stuck. Have you written any code, or even outlined (designed) an approach? Show us what you tried or thought out then wew can help. FWIW in Python one would use a list to hold the cards. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] PythonCard error checking
While I'm a user, I'm not a guru. Those are at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythoncard-users for pythoncard. I know a common technique is on a button event for the "ok" or "apply" button is to validate all the text fields in an exception safe setting. On exception exit the event handler make an error notice. You could even color the guilty text box text red then exit the event handler. Only if all the boxes make it through, do you actually process the input. GUI code often is...hairy...when done correctly. That's why is should be separated into its own files: to keep the hair out of your main program. --Michael On Dec 24, 2007 10:02 AM, Roy Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I've just started trying PythonCard to build a simple GUI for a little > application I'm writing. > Just wondering if anyone knows the "proper" way to do some simple error > checking: > for example, I have a textField, and I wish to check that only integers > within a certain > range are entered into it. > > I know I can just enclose that block of code in a try .. except clause, > just that I'm not sure > what to do once I've caught say, a ValueError exception.

You can define the cards as a tuple of values and insert them into a list. You can use random.choice() to select a card fro the list. By applying that repeatedly you can split the list across multiple players hands(also lists) Is that what you mean? -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Not sure about PythonCard but most GUI toolkits, including wxPython from which PythonCard is buil;t allow you to trap the entry of data(usually with onKeyPress events or similar) so that you can check the data as it is entered. You can then beep or highlight the text if it is of the wrong type. There will often be preconfigured entry boxes that automatically check for currency, date/time, numeric, password types etc I think there is a PythonCard mailing list which is likely to be a better source than the tutor list.

[Tutor] Telnet to Router/Switch
Hi everyone..
I have to make Telnet session with Router/switch of Cisco. Anybody has idea how
it can be done? from what i researched, i got most of the telnet session like
client/servers. But what I have to do here is just to create a Telnet session
which writes the password when its prompted and then write the commands and
fetch the result which is returned by the session.

If you're talking about images, or other such binary data, it would be difficult. You would probably have to restructure your python code to load the binary data from a resource. I once had a setup.py that walked through the process of creating an executable (console or gui).
