Sorry about all that trouble for you Alan, after I posted that, I
reformatted my code a bit and updated it to do the defining and then
the calling, like you said. The only problem I had, and I was
probably doing something wrong, was that I would do:
choice()
if choice in["1","circle"]:

Sup all,
Ok, this is my research for a better calculator. I want to make a
calculator that is much less lame than the one that comes standard
with windows. If anyone has any ideas for how to start or some things
I should know, then feel free to inform me. The truth is, I don't
exactly know wher
Brad,
I believe that this will work . . .

in my case the following code opens the nautilus file browser

os.system('nautilus')

Thanks for this suggestion, Grant, it might prove illuminating.

PythonWin (version 2.5).

Nick,
Have you tried copying the contents of PyCrust.py into your current IDLE?
Running that script will cause PyCrust to open on my machine. Perhaps this
is a start . . .

Hi Hieu,
In my Scripts folder there are MS-DOS batch files and files without extensions
that include "pycrust" and "pyalamode". Double-clicking either version of
pycrust in this folder doesn't do anything I can see. There are no .py files
(apart from CreateBatchFiles.py and CreateMacScripts.py,
I agree that pycrust is faster in terms of autocomplete. However, I love
being able to to just hit f5 to run my code in the shell while in the Python
IDLE environment. I wonder if this is possible with pycrust . . .

Installing wxPython on Windows creates a Scripts folder, in which the
goodies like PyCrust and Pyalamos are installed, you can run it and be
good to go.
On *nix, the scripts would be installed in the prefix's bin dir,

Better,
Alan,
Good point. Earlier I was trying to figure out how the script worked, and
having else: print "break" seemed to help with that. For example, in one
version that I was tinkering with, break was printed 17 times. In the
current version, break is printed twice.
hope that makes sense,

I think I may have sent an incomplete version of this question a moment ago
(sorry). Here is the complete question:
I'm designing something along the lines of a flash card program. It's mostly

I'm doing the initial design for what will (hopefully) be something like a

Your multistrip tid-bit worked perfectly. Thanks!

Just the way IDLE works. Unexpected, but certainly not a bug, I'd say.
