Re: [Tutor] Repeat Until Dead
Hello,
Try something like this:
coin = raw_input('Insert coins:\n')
while(coin > 0):
coin = int(coin)-1
print 'You have {0} coin(s)'.format(coin)
$ python teste.py
Insert coins:
2
You have 1 coin(s)
You have 0 coin(s)

Note you did not convert the original raw_input value to an int.
Also you keep on converting coins to int inside the loop even
though it already is one after the first iteration. However...
This only loops for as many times as coin is set at the beginning.
The OP needs the raw_input inside the loop so it would need to look
like this:
coin = int( raw_input('Insert coins:\n') )
while(coin > 0):
print 'You have {0} coin(s)'.format(coin)
coin = int( raw_input('Insert coins:\n') )
What we don't know, because the OP didn't tell us, is how
he detects "death"... I hope he can adapt...

[Tutor] using python for parsing
Hi, I know practically nothing about python. I know how to install it and all that kind of stuff. I want to use python for parsing a text file. The task is to read in a text file, and write out another text file that is written in some particular way using the data from the file that was read in. The question is how do I go about this? What part of python documentation, or a book I should read etc. I dont want to start reading a python book from the first page. I just want to do this parsing task and I will learn about whatever I need to as I encounter it.

It also depends on what version of Python, and what operating system. (I assume Windows, since Python is nearly always pre-installed on Linux.) The simplest, most basic way is to do this is something like this: filename = "C:/path/to/some/file.txt" f = open(filename, 'r') for line in f: print(line) f.close() In more recent versions, this is perhaps better written as: filename = "C:/path/to/some/file.txt" with open(filename, 'r') as f: for line in f: print(line) Don't forget that indentation is significant. Instead of print(line), a more realistic example would parse the line in some way, and that depends on the "particular way" you mention above. For example, given some line, I might split it into words, then print the first word, the second word, and the last letter of the third word: words = line.split() print(words[0], words[1], words[2][-1]) -- Steven ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

What variable is that?
that has nothing to do with the function. It prints "Squad One!". Here is my
code for the 3 def's that have something to do with the while function.
It's not at all clear what you want from us. There aren't any while
functions (since that would be a syntax error), though I do see a while
statement in the tcombat() function. Is that the one you're referring to?
I also see calls to functions you didn't provide, and since the logic
makes no sense to me, it's not obvious whether they matter or not.
Nothing here calls lvl2_1(), so should we assume it's dead code? For
that matter, neither of the references to tcombat() will ever actually
call it, so it's dead too?
Are you just looking for someone to correct your obvious mistakes? Like
the if statement and the elif statement that will never fire, because
you forgot parentheses on the t2.lower method call ? (And once you fix
that, they'll still never fire, since you're then comparing uppercase to
lowercase, and obviously they're different).
Because of that, the while statement will never terminate, just
repeatedly asking for raw_input (with a prompt of ">>") and getting
stuck till the user creates an exception, like Ctrl-C.

lvl3()
Does lvl3() look anything like lvl2_2() below? If so, you're looking
for trouble, recursively calling between tcombat() and the various other
functions. Eventually, the stack fills up. A function call is not a
goto statement.
def lvl2_2():
print "Squad Nine"
print "This team looks veryumm..Dumb."
print "There is one guy sitting on a stool"
print "he has a star sticker on his chest."
print "The other guy is vomiting on his"
print "pants."

enam="Qasi"
ehealth=15
edam=random.choice([5,6,7,8,9])

You never use the values of edam, thealth, and tdam. So why calculate them?
enemyalive=True
if ehealth==0:
enemyalive=False
This statement and the similar one above did nothing useful. You never
check the value of enemyalive in this function.
t1=raw_input(">>")

print enam ,"Engaged in Combat"
tcombat()

This local variable is never referenced. So why set it? Of course that
doesn't really matter, since ehealth is not going to be zero; it's
initialized right above to 15.

Some unrelated comments below:

"edam"? Like the cheese?
thealth=20
tdam=random.choice([6,7,8,9,10])
enemyalive=True
while enemyalive==True:
You don't need to say "while enemyalive == True", since enemyalive is already a true or
false value. Just say "while enemyalive:".
t2=raw_input(">>")
if t2.lower=="FIRE CANNON 1":
This cannot every succeed, since you are comparing the *method* (like a function)
t2.lower with the *string* "FIRE CANNON 1". You need to actually *call* the
method, to get a result:
if t2.lower() == "FIRE CANNON 1":
which of course also can never succeed, since you're comparing a lowercase
string with an UPPERCASE string. You need one of these instead:
if t2.lower() == "fire cannon 1":
if t2.upper() == "FIRE CANNON 1":
c1am-=c1am-1
If you think about this mathematically, you will see that this cannot fail to set c1am to
1. If that's what you intended, just write "c1am = 1". Or if you meant to
subtract 1 from c1am, then you can write either of these:
c1am = c1am - 1
c1am -= 1
My suggestion is that you are less likely to make these sorts of errors if you
put spaces around equal signs and other operators. Spaces make things easier to
read, or another way to put it, notusingspacesmakesthingsmuchhardertoread.
(By the way, I hope these variable names mean something to you, because most of them mean
absolutely nothing to me. "c1am"? WTH does that stand for?)
ehealth-tdam
This line is useless, since it just calculates the value ehealth - tdam, then
throws the result away unused. Perhaps you meant this?
ehealth -= tdam
print "Cannon Fired!"
print "Enemy Health=", ehealth
elif t2.lower=="FIRE CANNON 2":
The same flaw applies here as above.
c2am=c2am-1
ehealth-tdam
Likewise.
print "Cannon Fired!"
print "Enemy Health=", ehealth
print "Good Job!"
print "You beat the training dummy."
print "Nothing like real combat"
print "But screw you, here you go!"
print "(Into real combat)"

def lvl2_2():
print "Squad Nine"
print "This team looks veryumm..Dumb."
print "There is one guy sitting on a stool"
print "he has a star sticker on his chest."
print "The other guy is vomiting on his"
print "pants."
print "BEGIN TRAINING"
print "TRAINING: When you are roaming around the skies, you type 'Engage [Ship

print "TRAINING: While in combat, type 'Fire [Cannon Number (not spelt)]' to

print "All entries must be in lower caps!"
"Lower caps"? Do you mean lower case? ALL CAPS?
print "TRAINING: There may be consequences for firing upon certain ships."
Oh good. Consequences. Are they good consequences or bad consequences?
By the way, your code contains an awful lot of duplicated code. You should pull
out the duplicated code and put it into functions, then pass an appropriate
variable to the function. A simplified example follows.
Instead of this duplicated code:
def squad_one():
print "This is squad one."
print "You're training"
print "Do this"
print "Do that"
print "Do something else"
def squad_two():
print "This is squad two."
print "You're training"
print "Do this"
print "Do that"
print "Do something else"
if squad == "squad one":
squad_one()
else:
squad_two()
you can instead do this:
def squad(name):
print "This is Squad %s." % name
print "You're training"
print "Do this"
print "Do that"
print "Do something else"
if squad == "squad one":
squad("one")
else:
squad("two")
