Hi
I have just taught myself some Python and among my resources were...
http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ - I worked my way through over
half of this online and downloadable manual
http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/index.html - This course is good,
I am currently working through this
Hi
I am fairly new to Python and I wish to validate input. Such as wanting
to check and make sure that an integer is entered and the program not
crashing when a naughty user enters a character instead. I have been
trying to use the Type() function but I cannot work out how to check the
return

John F has already pointed you to the use of try/except for this,
however...

Hello Mr. Gauld,
Your second guess about the scenario is right: I want to automate tests of
Tcl/Tk GUIs.
I know about the GUI test automation tools like WATSUP, PyWinAuto, winGuiAuto
etc., and will use one if necessary.
But test automation is usually easier at the lowest possible level for the t

That's what I suspected, the names look like the C functions.

Hi Everybody,
Thank you so much for the information on sets. I think that that has
certain uses, but in my case I can't find a way. I have been thinking about
sequences in a list. Let me give you an example:
tset = [ 1,2,4,0,0,1,2,4,4]
What I want to do is detect the 1,2,4 sequence and pe

I just downloaded python-2.5.1.msi from python.org. During the
installation process (which I aborted), I was told, "This Update will
replace your existing Python25 installation".
What exactly does this mean? What will happen, for example, to all my
scripts that are in E:\Python2

Hi, I am curious about ways in Python to approach the idea of "tagging"
pieces of information much in the way that one can tag favorite websites
like on the site Del.icio.us. I'm not sure if tagging is the best term for
this (due to confusion with HTML tags), but the idea would be a way to

You may be able to use a dictionary to store your data chunks. eg:
>>> tagged_items = {('spam, swordfights'): 'ITEM A',
... ('swordfights', 'custard'): 'ITEM B'}
>>> [tagged_items[tags] for tags in tagged_items if 'spam' in tags]
['ITEM A']
>>> [tagged_items[tags] for tags in tagged_items if '
