[Tutor] Saving command line keyed input?
I know that one should use IDLE or a choosen editor for any substantial
Python coding! However, if one happens to have written some interesting
doodlings on the regular command line interface (under Windows XP in my
case), is there an easy way to save ALL input to date into a selected file?
For example:
>>>class work_center:
def __init__(self,x_name):
self.name = x_name
>>>x = work_center("machine press")
>>>
--- What do I do to save the above work into a file named "mywork.py"
Thanks.
RC

Re: [Tutor] Help(!) with OOP/Composition from "Learning Python"
I've been reading about composition vs inheritance, and went back to "Learning Python" to look at something I found very confusing a year ago. Turns out I still find it very confusing :) Try this example ecology simulation by Kirby Urner: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2000-April/000306.html It does have a bug or two in it, but I was able to find and fix them by myself. But the bugs are discussed here if you get stuck: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2003-March/002742.html and here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2003-March/002744.html Still, simple as it is, it gave me a much more profound grasp of Python based OOP than any of Learning Python's examples. I suspect the following book might be superb for leaning OOP: Game Programming With Python (Game Development Series) (Paperback) by Sean Riley In short, study actual simulations (of which games are a major subset)!

[Tutor] IDLE error msgs and line continuations?
When using IDLE, after hitting F5 to save and run, if an error occurs, it merely flashes at the code location of the error. While I usually figure out what is wrong, why don't I get the detailed text error messages that the command line gives? Also, I'm getting most error messages when I try line continuation for clarity: if (condition 123 and condition 456): I distinctly remember Python allowing the above. Thanks.

[Tutor] simple report writing?
Can someone suggest a specific tutorial strictly on report writing? I'm able to write reports fairly easily in Python. I know the stuff like str(round(x,2)) where x = 3.145678 will yield 3.14. What I'm looking for is to be able to control left and right justification, column by column while using string and numeric data of variable lengths so that my reports look much neater. Possibly a generalized def print_line(*x)? Thanks. RC _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[Tutor] simple report writing?
I have a list (x_list) of class data.

Re: [Tutor] simple report writing?
I neglected to mention that the list x_list was created by x_list = [] and then a series of x_list.append(y), where y are class instances with a variety of variables, one of which I want to use as a sort key. >I have a list (x_list) of class data.

[Tutor] Windows IDLE error msgs?
I can get the standard Python error messages IF I execute a Python script via the command line OR the script I'm running from IDLE passes the initial syntax check and generates an execution error. However, if I have a syntax error that's caught in the initial syntax checking phase, IDLE merely goes to the particular line and highlights the line where the error was detected. How do I get IDLE to say specifically what's wrong? I'm running the latest version: Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) under XP. Thanks. RC _ Dont just search. Find.

[Tutor] Linux Python install?
Sorry to bother the list with so simple a question but on moving to Linux from Windows XP, it's not clear to me how to accomplish a Python install on Linux. On XP it was mostly point and click on a ".msi" file (with msi standing for Microsoft install). I've loaded the latest Fedora/Redhat release on an old AMD machine. How do I install Python such that it shows up as a selection under the Programming task bar with EMACS? I assume I have to do this under root, right? Step by step please. Thanks. _ Dont just search.

Re: [Tutor] Linux Python install?
Thanks for the responses gentalmen and apologies! It seems that Python IS included in Fedora but is not explicitly seen (as it is in Windows XP) as a desktop icon. It can be accessed by from the terminal by simply typing Python. RC From: Python <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: CPIM Ronin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: Tutor Python Subject: Re: [Tutor] Linux Python install?

How do I install Python such that it shows up > as a selection under the Programming task bar with EMACS? I assume you are using yum for package management. It should have been installed by default. As root, you can issue the command yum install python python-docs python-devel python-tools The package yumex provides a GUI interface to the yum package manager. You can think of yumex as the Windows "Add/Remove Programs" application on steroids. yum install yumex The yumex install view with a filter of python will provide an extensive list of additional python packages. Finally, I do not know if this includes the best python integration with EMACS. > I assume I have to do this under root, right? > > Step by step please. > > Thanks. > > _ > Dont just search. Find.

Is there such a thing as a Python coded media player? I'm having troble with my Windows Media Player playing commercial DVDs and can't fathom why it should be so difficult to debug.
