[Tutor] Installation
Hello all,I will try to make this quick.Since the installation topic is open I have a question. Bear in mind "newbie alert" I have 2.5 on windows M.E. and all is well,but if I try to use a dos box I get bad command etc. but if I use the python dos everything works.Is this normal or do I need to have windows dos in the path somehow?Or does it really matter,it's all the same dos isnt it.And how do you clear the Tkinter window.I must say that much of what I read here is beyond me NOW but it is like chess you are only as good as your opponents! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Hmm how do I put this without looking completely igrint! I am new to python and peck away at it every chance i get.Well I also follow the list here and remember A big todo about versions and compatibility. Well I have 2.51 and have been encountering many errors when I try to use some examples from the book "A byte of python". At first I thought well a few minor things I will just move on and try the next. Well some work and others dont, and mind you I am only trying to get the basics down.Anyhow in the forward of the book it is refering to 2.3, could the very basics have changed from 2.3 to 2.5. Once again not all of them just some of them. I will send examples if you think it is my editing in question.I know I could just get a different book, there is a plethora to choose from but I thought I had A good beginner book? Oh and I know you buried this one but...I thought it was tuple` like too-play. (sounds french chic's will dig it) Sorry had to throw that in there, a liitle humor is always good. -- Look sure in soup with socks dirty when to put with cracker in boots that I on wear to crunch. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Well, I dont feel Igrint, yet I must be. Turns out that Early Light was right regarding the command prompt. I had to go back and try a few of the exercises again to see if i actually had overlooked something so obvious, and it turns out I had! Enclosed is a example of my ineptitude.I didnt mean to cause a fuss, and this is the first chance I have had to get to my mail to send A response. One thing for certain I am humbled but all the wiser, all part of learning I suppose. On the brighter side maybe you could save this snippet of code and use it as an example. (Friends dont let Friends do this!)... Yep, that's me the poster boy of dont let this happen to you IDLE 1.2.1 >>> # Filename: func_param.py >>> def printMax(a, b): if a > b: print a, 'is maximum' else: print b, 'is maximum' printMax(3, 4) SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> Whats worse is that this is only one, I muddled through several and still didnt catch it. Anyhow thanks to your team and readers for the help! -- Look sure in soup with socks dirty when to put with cracker in boots that I on wear to crunch. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
