This assignment means 'terms' is no longer a list, but is now just an int.

I hope what I wrote above answers the first question. IIRC tuples are immutable, so you either to create the list first and then convert it to a tuple: terms_tuple = tuple(terms) Or you can create a tuple from the beginning (without a loop): terms_tuple = (random.randint(1, 99), random.randint(1, 99)) HTH, benno ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

If you can call scripts when actions occur on the mailing list (e.g. new subscriber added, user unsubscribes, user details updated, etc), then you could write a Python script to generate static HTML at that point. It would probably be less hassle than creating a dynamic web page. So then all you have to do is loop through your records and write the resultant HTML to a file that the web server can read.

What you're accessing via Colin.hand and Alex.hand is actually
Player.hand, which is a class attribute. You want to set up attributes
on your instance objects instead; the standard way to do this is by
adding an __init__ method to your class:
class Hand:
def __init__(self):
self.hand = []

All you're doing here is replacing the name stored in row[0] with the
new GPSPoint object.
If I read your description correctly, I think what you're looking for
should behave like this:
# row read from CSV (I assume CSV values are always read as strings)
row = ['Spring1', '348545', '3589235', '13.2']
# what the code you want should do automatically
Spring1 = GPSPoint('348545','3589235','13.2', workPaths)
I don't know how to do that in Python - at a guess it would look
something like (pseudocode):
__module__.vars[row[0]] = GPSPoint(...)
Someone else probably knows how to do that, but I have a fairly strong
feeling that it's the wrong approach to your problem.
When you write your CSV file, each GPSPoint needs to know what its
variable name is, which doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. If
you have a set number of objects, then maybe you should just read and
write them in a known order - your program can call them anything it
likes; it won't affect the storage and loading of the data.
Alternatively, if for some reason you really want to associate a name
with each GPSPoint, I would suggest storing the points in a
dictionary, e.g.
points = {}
for row in plotReader:
points[row[0]] = GPSPoint(row[1], row[2], row[3], workPaths)
Then when you need to write to a CSV, the name to go in the first
column is simply the key of that dictionary item.

Do you mean numerical error codes? Which page on the SQLite website
are you referring to? Certainly the exception contains usable data.
Try something like this:
try:
execresult = con.execute('INSERT INTO MyTable (field_name) VALUES
("MyValue")')
con.commit()
except Exception as error:
print("Didn't work:", error)
con.rollback()

If you want Apache to directly handle logins via HTTP auth then you don't need to write any code, just configure your vhost or .htaccess file (see for example the AuthUserFile directive). OTOH if you want to build your own login system (e.g. with user details stored in a database) then you: 1) Make a regular HTML form with username and password fields 2) Write whatever login processing code you need, and have the form submit to it. 3) Check for an active login session on every page that requires authentication, and redirect them back to the login form if necessary.

Not necessarily, but it would seem illogical not to do so.
