Re: [Tutor] IDLE vs PythonWin
You can call a .py script from the command line, and it will run there. So, in Windows XP: Start > Run > type "CMD" Vista: Start > type "CMD" into the Start Search field. If you're in Linux, get to a Terminal. In Windows another window will open with something like...C:\FolderWithMyPyFile> Linux something like m...@ubuntu-desktop:~$ Assuming "uberprogram.py" is in the current folder, you can then just type into the command prompt like C:\FolderWithMyPyFile>uberprogram You can see the results of the program right in the command prompt/terminal window.

Thanks for all your continued insights on this. I'm going to investigate the .configure log, as well as look around at other readline packages.. But, noob question, did you just go into something like synaptic to find out what readline type packages are installed? (Sorry if this is annoying anyone on the list, but its all in the name of getting the Python inerpreter to be happy !) Or did you do some kind of command line aptitude "list out readine stuff"?

#Dont use list as a variable name, its one of the reserved words.
mylist = []
#realize any values captured here are strings
x = raw_input('Enter num or text: ')
mylist.append(x)
x = raw_input('Enter num or text: ')
mylist.append(x)
#output the type of objects you've entered (hint: they'll always be

#print the list of items
for i in mylist:

Re: [Tutor] Tutor Digest, Vol 61, Issue 3
Not sure if this is what you mean, but: Say you have the files efunc.py and trytry.py in the same folder. *The content of efunc.py is:* def funky(): print 'funkytown' *The content of trytry.py is:* import efunc efunc.funky() *Output would be:* n...@ububox:~$ python trytry.py funkytown n...@ububox:~$ trtry.py "easily and automatically" uses the code from efunc.py It calls the function funky(). Granted this is a prety silly example, but is that what you mean by using code written by someone else? You do this with modules all the time, like import os, import glob, etc. Any .py file imported into another .py file is a module, granted most of them are a bit more useful than efunc.py > I'm sorry, I've realized I didn't explain my needs at all. > I was a little influenced by drupal's definition of modules, which is > completely different from python's. > With module here I meant plug-in or extension: a piece of code written > by someone else that can be easily (and automaticallly) integrated > into my program. > My program must provide the posibility to be extended without editing > its code, just like mozilla's add-ons. > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

how to convert it in all my data to show properly? In all the feedparser

notice any special call on their feedparser.parse() and I can't seem to find
anything in the feedparser documentation that addresses this. Has anyone run

[Tutor] Trouble understanding modifying parent class..
Hi tutors, I am studying classes a bit, and am having trouble with this concept and would appreciate your help! class A: def __init__(self, name, value=1): self.name = name self.value = value And now I want a subclass, one that overrides the value=1 and defaults to value=2, how do I code that? I'm understanding subclasses that have different methods that have different behavior, but I'm having trouble doing this. Do we have to call the __init__ of the parent somehow? Is it "replaced" or overridden in an __init__ method of the subclass? .. or stated simply: If you have class A: which has def __init__(self, name, value=1), how do you code a subclass B(A): that automatically starts with value=2? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] Simple Game
Hi Corey, If this is going to be a command line program, two things that immediately come to mind for me are: validating user input and persistence. If you put something like "(1) to attack, (2) to run" what if the user types "yes", or "Y", or "9"? You'll want to make sure your program doesn't crash on wrong user input. And as far as "saving" the game, will the user be able to pick up where they left off(tracking user stats, progress in the game, posessions, etc)? If so, you'll need some kind of persistence, Pickle-ing or a SQLite database, etc. On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 10:09 AM, Corey Richardson wrote: > So far, I can use tuples/lists/dictionary's, and define some functions, and > a bit of other things. > Would it be hard for me to make a simple text rpg game?

Re: [Tutor] Python - Data Mining?
Hi Nick,
I don't know about the graphing portion of your question, but yes Python
does interact very well with databases. I have been working on a workout
tracking program the last two months or so, and I'm new to programming. I'd
highly recommend SQLite as a built-in database solution. I know it's
included in Python version 2.5 which is what i'm currently running. You can
call it at the top of your program with "import sqlite3", then you can run
queries and create tables, etc.
Here is some example code of SQLite usage in my program:
#create the database, or connect if it already exists
conn = sqlite3.connect('workoutstats.db')
#create a variable called cursor to use, since its easier than typing out
conn.cursor() all the time..
cursor = conn.cursor()
#create a table
cursor.execute('''
CREATE TABLE WR (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, reps SMALLINT(1000),
weight SMALLINT(1000), exer VARCHAR(30), date DATE)
''')
#query the WR table, feeding it the 'srch' variable which fills in where the
SQL has a ?
cursor.execute(
"SELECT SUM(REPS) FROM WR WHERE EXER=?",
(srch,)
)

[Tutor] 2 & 4 or more spaces per indentation level..
Dear Pythonistas: Working in IDLE on Windows Vista, I have one program that I set to have 2 character spacing (due to the levels of if's and while's going on -- later my brother called this a bit of a code smell, ie. logic shouldn't go that deep, it should be broken out into separate functions instead. Thoughts on that are welcome to, do any of you feel logic should only go so many layers deep?), and my editor defaults to 4 (Which I believe is the standard according to PEP 8) I copied some code from the 2 spacing program to another I'm writing currently which has the default 4, and it got things kind of screwy with spacing. I believe I've got it fixed now by manually tabbing/spacing, etc., but I was wondering, if this happened on a much bigger scale, or you were say, pasting code in from some example where they used a different spacing than you, is there a simple/good/smart way to get it all back to the 4 spacing default? Or if for example I wanted to convert my 2 spacing program to the conventional 4? - Eric ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] Python 2.6.1 + Linux Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon)
I am trying to teach myself Linux, and so I'm running Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon) as a virtual machine. I went to terminal, started up Python and realized it was version 2.5 so I thought I'd just upgrade to 2.6.1 After doing some Googling around, it seems that Ubuntu is highly reliant on Python 2.5, so upgrading isn't so simple after all. Is this just Ubuntu that is so integrated with Python, or all flavors of Linux? Doesn't this hinder developers who use Ubuntu (and Linux?) as their primary OS when new versions of Python come out? I have been using Windows forever, but everyone says Linux is the development environment. Thoughts? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
