[Tutor] A simple solution to the even/odd problem

2006-04-20 Thread Jesse
Hey, I'm a Python newbie, and I'm not even sure I've correctly interpreted the problem, but from what I gather the idea is to take an integer with an arbitrary number of digits and return two [strings/lists/tuples/whatever]: one containing all of the odd digits, and another containing all of the ev

Tkinter is simpler to use, wxPython is far more powerful but a bit harder to learn. It's based on the C++ library wxWidgets, and sometimes the abstraction leaks a bit, but this is just my opinion. Check out pythoncard though, it simplifies wx development dramatically; even has a drag and drop inte
