I'm using Python 3.3 on Windows. http://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html This contains links to most of the resources you need but its important to remember when dealing with Tkinter that it is tracking the underlying Tk widget set. There are a lot of undocumented or poorly documented features and options in that set and it changes on a fairly regular basis with new releases. For example the original Ousterhout book is now so far out of date it is really only useful for understanding the basic philosophy and structure of Tcl/Tk. There are several good Tk reference sites but you have to translate Tcl/Tk into Python to use them. Some sites give multi-lingual examples, for example: http://www.tkdocs.com/ Which is incomplete but slowly growing and has examples in Tcl and Ruby. (The tutorial section has Perl and Python too...) This is the official Tk site (all tcl based) http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/contents.htm And of course don't forget Tix which is also part of the Tkinter library support in Python now. http://tix.sourceforge.net/man/html/TixCmd/TixIntro.htm#M11 -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Hello everyone. How can I get a program to stop only when the user enters 'Quit'? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You would need an "infinite" loop in your program, where you take user input. Check if the input entered was 'Quit', and only exit/break out of your loop then, else continue doing something else.

First you need a program that never stops. Most programs automatically stop
when they're done, so you need to have a program which repeats forever. Do you
have that?
Then you need to add code that asks the user for input.
Then you need to add code that compares that input to "Quit".
And finally you need to add code that exits when they match.
# Step 1. A program that never stops.
while True:
print "Hello world" # Or do something useful.
# Step 2. Add code that repeatedly gets input from the user.
while True:
print "Hello world"
response = raw_input("What do you want to do? ")
# Step 3. Inspect that input.
while True:
print "Hello world"
response = raw_input("What do you want to do? ")
if response == "Quit":
print "Exiting now" # Well, not now, but soon.
# Step 4. Exit when done.
while True:
print "Hello world"
response = raw_input("What do you want to do? ")
if response == "Quit":
break # escapes from the while loop
Step 5. Make the program useful. That's up to you.

This will exit out of the While loop. So, if you have code after the
while loop, they will be executed. If you want to completely exit the
program, use the sys.exit() function from the sys module.
Does that help?

Do you mean that you want to quit if *any* of your inputs is given as
'Quit' ? The something like this should work:
import weekday_string1
while True:
ryear = raw_input("year= ")
print ryear
if ryear=='Quit':
print '\nThank you for using this program! Bye.'
break
else:
year = int(ryear)
month = raw_input("month= ")
day = raw_input("day= ")
if month=='Quit' or day == 'Quit':
break
wd = weekday_string1.weekday_string(year, int(month), int(day))
print "The given date: %2d/%2d/%4d is a %s." % (month, day, year, wd)
print "=="
Couple of things here:
1. I have used raw_input() to take the input for month and day as well
(Why? See the differences between input() and raw_input():
http://echorand.me/2012/10/11/input-and-raw_input-in-python/)
2. Since raw_input() returns its input as a string, I use the int()
function when I call your weekday_string() function with month and
date.
Does that help?

Okay, here is a small program:
while True:
ryear = raw_input("year= ")
print ryear
if ryear == 'Quit':
print '\nThank you for using this program! Bye.'
break
else:
print 'Not quitting'
When I run this, I see:
year= 10
10
Not quitting
year= 10
10
Not quitting
year= 20
20
Not quitting
year= Quit
Quit
Thank you for using this program! Bye.
As you can see, when I enter "Quit", it exists. Can you try and see if
that works for you?
Best,
Amit.
