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 and eventually figured out the final project creating an asteroids game using the latest livewires. I would eventually like to use pygame, but for now I'm content that it works.
I know there have been some questions in the past about errors, so this is simply being submitted as a placemarker for those working through the same book. I'm really glad I decided to learn Python! I also figured out how to configure Eclipse IDE to recognize modules. Apparently in the preferences for each 'project' is a separate PYTHONPATH.. which is not to be confused with sys.path. Adding the appropriate folders to the preferences allows the user to browse through a module i.e. after writing: 'from livewires import games' typing: 'games.' yields a drop down menu of all methods etc.... very convenient when trying to follow older tutorials of older packages. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
