Re: [Tutor] Tutor Digest, Vol 77, Issue 3
Instead of using "find" you could use a for loop. Explore what I mean in the
attachment. If you have IDLE you can look at the programming in it.

[Tutor] System Window
I was wondering if there was a way to program a new window using Tkinter so that a one-billion digit number could fit, instead of in the system window, which dumps numbers once they fill up the screen. I know that it would take me days to read all of the numbers, but that is not my intention.

[Tutor] LCM
Hello all,
I was wondering if you could please help me with an issue I'm having
with my program. I'm not fond of LCM(Least Common Multiples), and I
decided to make a program that deals with them. Here's the code:
thing = raw_input("What is the first number?\n\n")
thing2 = raw_input("What is the second number?\n\n")
int(thing)
int(thing2)
x = 1
thing3 = x/thing
thing4 = thing2/x
def calc():
while True:
if isinstance(thing3, int) == True:
if isinstance(thing4, int)== True:
print "The LCM is"
print x
raw_input()
break
else:
x + 1
calc()
else:
x + 1
calc()
calc()
The only problem is that when I tell it that thing3 = x/thing it gives
an error. Here it is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Documents and Settings/Family/My Documents/LCM.py", line 10,
in
thing3 = x/thing
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'int' and 'str'
Same with thing4...
Can you please help! Thanks in advance...

[Tutor] (no subject)
I have a few more ?'s. I was trying to make a program for ubuntu that does one function: if ctrl + Alt + "t" is pressed, to shut down the computer. There are only two problems. I want it to run in the background, so nobody knows it's there. I do know how to make it run at startup, so that isn't a problem. I found pygame, so I could say if ctrl +Alt + "t" is pressed to do something, but a black window would always have to be open, which leads to my first problem. I do know how a .pyw works, but it still rests in the Task Manager at the bottom of the screen.

self.board.append(" ")
self.board_table =\

def display_board(self):

I tried doing:

But that didn't help either, and I still got the same TypeError. If you
could please figure out what's wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your IP should basically stay the same from the time you connect to the internet until the time you disconnect - longer if you use static IPs.

[Tutor] Communicating Between Programs Using Raw Inputs
Dear Python Tutors,
I was wondering how to break into my one program I made using brute force
methods. Here's the code:
password = "Helloworld"
try= raw_input("What's the password?")
while try != password:
try = raw_input("Incorrect, what's the password?")
I know how to do it in the command line, but not through another program.
Generating the random tries for the password isn't the issue, but entering
the password(s) in between the two programs is an issue because I don't know
how to make programs communicate through raw inputs.
Thanks!

[Tutor] Communicating Between Programs Using A Raw Input (Cont'd)
Dear Tutors,
Alright, I read up on stdin and stdout and I did find how useful they are. I
did have one question however, and that is will I need to modify the code of
my password program? Here's the code again:
password = "Helloworld"
try= raw_input("What's the password?")
while try != password:
try = raw_input("Incorrect, what's the password?")
And if so, then should I use sys.stdin.read() and sys.stdout.write() for the
program that generates the random passwords or are there other commands that
I should use?
Thanks!

[Tutor] Communicating Between Programs Using Raw Inputs (con'd)
Dear Tutors,
Alright, I'm using linux (ubuntu) and I took all of your advice and I got
something that works and doesn't work at the same time. Here's the source
code for my two programs called Lock and Key:
*Lock.py: *
password = "a"
psswd_try = raw_input("What's the password? ")
if psswd_try == password:
print "correct!!!"
raw_input()
else:
print "wrong"
raw_input()
*
Key.py*:
import sys
sys.stdout.write("a")
In the linux terminal I ran this command(they were both in my home folder,
so no directories were needed):
python Key.py | python Lock.py
And all went well except for an EOF error caused by the raw_input inside the
"if" statement in my Lock program. However I did get it to print "correct",
so I know sys.stdout.write() works for what I want it to, but I don't want
the EOF error. Here's the output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lock.py", line 7, in
raw_input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line
Please help me get rid of it because I couldn't find a sys.stdout.close()
command or any other std command that would help.
Thanks!

[Tutor] Socket and Ports
Dear Tutors, I've been having an issue with socket. I wanted to use it for transmitting strings over the Internet. The problem is that my friend insists that allowing python to transmit and receive information via an Internet port is a bad idea. He claimed that I could(and probably would) receive information that wouldn't necessarily do my computer any good(in a nutshell). First of all, I thought that you could specify where the message was supposed to come from via an IP address, while you were in the process of creating your clients(or server). That way, I shouldn't be receiving all kinds of random stuff from people on the same port that don't have that IP address. My friend also claims that hackers could use my python distribution to hack other programs on my system(all without my permission, of course). And ultimately steal information or bring down my system. All via socket, because I'd allow only that program to access the port. In conclusion, basically my friend says that whatever I do, hackers can and probably will somehow take control of my computer in some way, shape, or form. I, however think this to be untrue because I'm specifying where the information is supposed to come from and I'm not going to open my entire computer to the port, I'm ONLY allowing python to receive and transmit information. Please help. Thanks, Jacob Bender ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

via socket. I tried copying a socket program from online, that worked on my
computer, and executed perfectly. However, I did not open a port for python,
but I do have an exception in my firewall. Anyhow, I called the same friend
and had him run a client program when I was running the host program. The
host program did absolutely nothing and my IP was programmed into the client
as the "Host IP". I took all necessary steps and even turned off my
antivirus, which didn't help at all. I also told my friend and now he has an
exception on his antivirus, but still nothing is working. I've been using
port 80 the whole time. Is there anything I did wrong, or a step I've
missed? Here is the source code for both the server and the client I was
talking about:
*Client:*
*
*
# Echo client program
import socket
HOST = '# my IP was once here'# The remote host
PORT = 80 # The same port as used by the server
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.send('Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
s.close()
print 'Received', repr(data)
*
*
*Server:*
*
*
# Echo server program
import socket
HOST = '' # Symbolic name meaning all available interfaces
PORT = 80 # Arbitrary non-privileged port
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1)
conn, addr = s.accept()
print 'Connected by', addr
while 1:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data: break
conn.send(data)
conn.close()
Thanks!

[Tutor] Sorting the parts of a dictionary into a list
Dear tutors,
I'm trying to create a neural network program. Each neuron is in a
dictionary and each of its connections and their strengths are in a nested
dictionary. So {0:{1:4, 2:5}}, 1:{0:6}, 2:{1:2}} would mean that neuron 0
is connected to neuron 1 with a strength of 4. And it also means that
neuron 1 is connected to neuron 0 with a strength of 6.
The problem is that I'm working on a function that is supposed to add the
total strengths of each neuron. So, for example, neuron 0's connections
have a total strength of 9 (4+5). The other problem is getting all of the
total strengths and ordering the neurons into a list. So, from the example,
the list would be from [0,1,2] because zero has the greatest total strength
of 9, then 1 with a total strength of 6 and so on. I've been working on
this problem for at least 2 hours now and still haven't found anything
close to a solution.
Thank you and please help!

[Tutor] Sorting the Parts of a Dictionary into a List
Dear Tutors,
My original email was this:
"Dear tutors,

of 9, then 1 with a total strength of 6 and so on. I've been working on
this problem for at least 2 hours now and still haven't found anything
close to a solution."
And here's my source code:
class neuron(object):
def __init__(self):
self.neurons = {}
self.neuron_total = 0
def create_neurons(self, number):
for i in range(number):
self.neuron_total += 1
self.neurons[self.neuron_total] = {}
def connect_neurons(self,connecter,connectee):
try:
self.neurons[connecter][connectee] += 1
except(KeyError):
try:
self.neurons[connecter][connectee] = 1
except(KeyError):
self.neurons[connecter] = {connectee:1}
def ping(self,neuron,choice):
if choice == True: #If the neuron pinged needs to choose only one
neuron
most_connected = 0
for connections in self.neurons[neuron]:
if max(str(self.neurons[neuron][connections])) >
most_connected:
most_connected = connections
else:
pass
return most_connected
else:
for neuron in self.neurons:
for connections in self.neurons[choice]:
return connections
def total(self, neuron):
total = 0
for connection in self.neurons[neuron]:
total = total+self.neurons[neuron][connection]
def smartest(self): #Return the neurons in order from smartest to
dumbest in list form.
for neuron in self.neurons:
sorted(neuron, key=self.total(neuron))
The total function works when it returns the strength of a neuron, but I
don't think the "sorted" function is the best because, with its current
configuration, it returns a type error. I have been doing python for
several years now. I don't know EVERYTHING there is to know, but I am able
to do most tasks without error. Please help me get the neurons into an
order in a list as described in my original email. Also, I do thank you for
your original replies!
