I have seen this some times but never really understood how it worked.
I have 1 thing I am not sure of, the negative slice in the example
basically means "start counting at the end position and work
backwards"?

Does anyone have an advanced topic on slicing where the :: notation is
explained?

Thanks

You should find plenty by googling for "python slice step sequence"

[Tutor] Novice qustion

[george fragos]

 Hi all Pythons!
 I'm new to Python and this List!
 I'm reading Hetland's "Beginning Python" and I tried to test myself
an example the book provides in 59:


 width = input('Please enter width: ')

price_width = 10
item_width = width - price_width

header_format = '%-*s%*s'
format        = '%-*s%*.2d'

print '=' * width

print haeder_format % (item_width, 'Item', price_width, 'Price')

print '-' * width

print format % (item_width, 'Apples', price_width, 0.4)
print format % (item_width, 'Pears',  price_width, 0.5)
print format % (item_width, 'Cantaloupes', price_width, 1.92)
print format % (item_width, 'Dried Apricots (16 gr)' price_width, 8)
print format % (item_width, 'Prunes (4 Kgr)', price_width, 12)

print '=' * width

Trying to run this script (saved as "test.py")I receive this error message:

a...@deadend:~/Desktop$ python test.py
  File "test.py", line 18
print format % (item_width, 'Dried Apricots (16 gr)' price_width, 8)
   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I double checked my typing and I see no errors in it (I copied it from
the book exactly as it is)!  Are there any...?  What's the "invalid"
in my "syntax"?

Thanx for the help!

Notice the line before (works) and after (doesn't work - as the interpreter
pointed out), how do you separate items in a tuple? :-)

Did not check the rest of it.

Oxymoron has pointed you in the right direction. After you fix that
error, however, you'll get another one from a different part of your
program. In general, the error information you get back from the
python interpreter will point you in the right direction. In the above
case, it tells you precisely where the problem is: Line 18 in test.py

Whenever you get errors, you can use the traceback information as a
way to pinpoint where you should start hunting for the error.

Better in what way? What are these things? What is resource? Some

Cory,

It would be helpful for us to see the code and the exact error
message(s). 

Would you copy your code and the errors directly to either your post or
your code to  one of the posting pages such as www.pastebin.org so we
can see your code exactly how you have written it.

It looks like you're missing a closing parenthesis.

Hi, Corey.

You dropped a closing parenthesis in the line above.  Having the syntax 
error occur one line up from where it is indicated is not uncommon.

Another thing as long as we are here, in the code below.

The else will only apply if they type in Fine 
If you want it too apply to all three you would need to join the checks 
together into one if statement with Boolean operators.

[Tutor] invalid syntax (reply)

[Corey Richardson]

Robert, that is my code. The error? "Theres an error in your program : 
invalid syntax"
Closing the parenthesis helped that one, but my else statement is not 
working...heres the code chunk...

if wellness != "Good":
   elif wellness != "Well":
   elif wellness != "Fine":
   print "Oh, I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I guessed 
correct, right?"

else print "Great!"
candyNumber = raw_input("How many candies do you want? :")
fatness = raw_input("How many candies do you want to eat? :")
if fatness > candyNumber:
   print "HA! Nice try, but no. You don't have that many candies"
   else print "HA! You ate the candy! Sucker. You are now", 
fatness, "lbs overweight"




my IDLE highlights the print, in each of them. Why? (oh, and thanks for 
helping, all)

if wellness != "Good":
  elif wellness != "Well":
  elif wellness != "Fine":
  print "Oh, I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I guessed  
correct, right?"


I think the problem is the elif's and the indents...
elif is 'else if', and should be at the same indentation level as the  
previous if statement that it is providing the else cause for.
In this case, it looks like you're just checking that wellness is not  
one of those words

I would use:
if wellness not in ["Good","Well","Fine"]:
	print "Oh, I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I guessed correct,  
right?"


See in that works out for you.
Also, if you're using python3, the print statement will need brackets  
(like a function).


Cheers

I am not sure why Idle is higlighting your print statements ( I don't use 
Idle, so will leave that to someone else).

However your if-elif-else construction should raise a syntax error.  elif 
means "else if" and should be matched up (at the same indentation level) 
with an if statement just like an else statement.  It is used when you 
have more then two paths that the code can take depending on the test 
results.

if test: (if test is true)
do something
elif another test: (else if another test is true)
do something else
else:
do a third thing

What you are trying to test is that wellness is not "Well", is not "good", 
and is not "Fine" 
If all of those is true (they are not good, not well and not fine) you 
print your sorry message, otherwise you print great.
You have one fork in the path, and should have one if statement with one 
else. 

Hope that helps,

Now that I know what to look for I went to the online python docs [1]
and tried to find where it has been documented. 

Unfortunately all the slicing examples I found do not even mention that
there is optional step value. The only place I found it explained
properly is on the build in slice() and the data model pages.  I'll try
to find some time to write some examples and documentation for the
online docs.

Thanks for the links.

As has been pointed out you need to use a boolean expression 
(a combination of tsts using and / or ) to get the result you need.
In fact if you describe what you really want in English you will find 
it forms a boolean expression.


You want it to print one message if the user types Good or Well or Fine
else print another message. Now translate that directly to code...



candyNumber = raw_input("How many candies do you want? :")
fatness = raw_input("How many candies do you want to eat? :")
if fatness > candyNumber:
   print "HA! Nice try, but no. You don't have that many candies"
   else print "HA! You ate the candy! Sucker. You are now", 


Python cares abourt indentation level.
align the else with the if that it matches.

Re: [Tutor] python win32 drive mapping help

[Vineet Kothari]

Can you also help me out with the way to delete the mapped drive I know in
command line it is

> net use [DRIVE:] /delete
>

but I am unable to figure out how I can do it from python

Since I am trying to make sure that the drive name I am giving in my code:

> import win32net
> win32net.NetUseAdd(None,1,{'remote':r'\\server\share','local':'K:','password':'XXX'
> })


K: drive should not exist already & if it does then the mapping should be
removed first & then a new mapping should be established.

So it should be going something like:

if [mapping already exists]:
>[delete mapping]
> else:
>[create new mapping]
>

Thank You everyone for the help :)

[Tutor] Anyone with Experience Using WinTV Capture Cards?

[Wayne Watson]

A friend is looking for some help with how to use Python to access a 
WinTV (Go Plus) capture card, and how to display an image from it. Is 
there some facility that might help him, or does anyone have experience 
with such use that might suggest sources? Win XP OS. Any general methods 
for dealing with such commercial built capture cards?

Apologies for not being clear. I was thinking more  that I may have
one the too many 'for' loops at the end of the code.

Here is a new version with more details.
