I have a quite odd problem, and I've come across it before but probably ignored it at the time because I had other concerns. I've tried googling for the answer but haven't really come closer to solving it. This is what happens: C:\[path]\nester>C:\Python32\python.ex e setup.py register running register running check We need to know who you are, so please choose either: 1. use your existing login, 2. register as a new user, 3. have the server generate a new password for you (and email it to you), or 4. quit Your selection [default 1]: 1 Please choose one of the four options!

No matter what I enter it will loop back. It seems my commandline can't read numbers? The other time I noticed it was while working on a notebook example: class Menu: """Display a menu and respond to choices when run.""" def __init__(self): self.notebook = Notebook() self.choices = { "1": self.show_notes, "2": self.search_notes, "3": self.add_note, "4": self.modify_note, "5": self.quit } def display_menu(self): print(""" Notebook Menu 1. Show All Notes 2. Search Notes 3. Add Note 4. Modify Note 5. Quit """) def run(self): """Display the menu and respond to choices.""" while True: self.display_menu() choice = input("Enter an option: ") action = self.choices.get(choice) if action: action() else: print("{0} is not a valid choice.".format(choice)) This code works in IDLE, so I know it's nothing in the actual code that's a problem, but when I run it in commandline it will just repeat "is not a valid choice." Note that it does this no matter what I actually enter, it won't actually get any kind of input except the enter key. So I suppose it's a problem with input() (I'm using python 3.2 btw). Anyone have any insights? -- best regards, Robert S. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
