[Tutor] Creating class instances through iteration

I came across a situation where what I thought I wanted to do was to create a class that was spawned from data in a .csv file. Where column 1 was the name I wanted to use for each instance. I had it all figured out and working except for how to write a statement where the left hand side could be

[Tutor] Hooray! I finished the 'Learning Python for absolute beginners'

Ok, it's not a big deal, but once I learned enough I went off on a few tangents to create programs of my own design. Since I had to return the book to the public library, I finally got back to finishing the last chapter. Since the book is not current, I took the time to decipher the differences a

[Tutor] Sound problems

I'm still learning, and this may be better served on a pygame mailing list but I thought I'd try here first. I'm following the python programming for absolute beginners which uses livewires and pygame to do some simple games. My difficulty comes from not using the module versions used in the book

Re: [Tutor] What books do you recommend?

I just finished Michael Dawson's Python Programming for the absolute beginner. I thought it was pretty good, with only a few minor nit picks. My programming background was limited to MATLAB and some Visual Basic scripting for excel, access etc making me the target audience. I liked the examples,

[Tutor] Python equivalent to Matlab keyboard function

This is probably an easy one. When I was writing Matlab m-files, I really enjoyed the ability to stop the code to check how values were being stored or to 'step' into a function with the keyboard function. I have numerous 'environments'? as part of Python (x,y) including IDLE, Eclipse, and Spyder

[Tutor] Difficulty with csv files - line breaks

What I'm trying to do is store a bunch of information into a .csv file. Each row will contain a date, webpage, etc of a job application. My difficulty is that it seems something I am doing is not recording the line breaks. I've read that \r\n are default in the csv module but so far I can not se
