I assume that livewires is just a wrapper for Python and Tkinter using a different syntax. The syntax might be easier to understand for youngsters, but simply adds another layer of potential errors. I don't think very many folks use this module. I am not even sure where to get …

I too think your lambda is not corrct. Try this: [code=python]import tkHyperlinkManager #external lib from Tkinter import * i = 0 li_all = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] #dynamic list root = Tk() root.title("Test") text = Text(root) text.pack() hyperlink = tkHyperlinkManager.HyperlinkManager(text) def call(x): print x while i <= 3: text.insert(INSERT, …

Nice solution Mitko, can even be made mildly simpler: [code=python] listsorted = sorted(listunsorted, key=lambda x: x[0]) [/code]

Well, you are calling the read_number() function twice, so it will pop up twice. I don't have the livewires module, so I have to guess: [code=python]from livewires import * rn = random_between(1,15) rn1 = random_between(1,15) print 'what is', rn , 'times', rn1, '? ', answer = read_number() if answer == …

Use replace(): [code=python]s = "word one word two" # replace space with no-space ms = s.replace(' ', '') print ms # wordonewordtwo [/code]

A lot of programmers use both Java and Python. Python has the advantage of a much more rapid learning and program development phase. So I would learn Python first. Once you learn Python you can access Java libaries easily with Jython, also open source.

We all know, but we don't do your homework! Read the DaniWeb rules.

bachmabt's solution works in your case where you have: nested_list = [[1,2,3],[5,6,7],[9,10,11]] but for more complex nesting like: nested_list = [[1,2,3],[5,6,7],[9,[10,11]]] you may have eventually flatten the list.

I am really not a mind reader, so show us some code that gives the error!

Genarally this is done this way: [code=python]def get_int(low, high): """ the function will loop until an integer number within the given low and high range has been entered """ prompt = "Enter an integer number between %d and %d: " % (low, high) while True: try: n = int(raw_input(prompt)) if …

Here is an example that should get most of the way there. All you need to do is to supply the search string from the listbox selection: [code=python]# searching a long text for a string and scrolling to it # use ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+x to cut selected text, # …

That sort of thing is usually done by subprocess.Popen() or os.popen() functions.

You need to convert your integer into a string, iterate the string and sum up the string's numeric characters as integers. If n is your integer, then str(n) is the string. If c is the string's numeric character, then int(c) is its numeric/integer value. Use a for loop to iterate …

Python30 introduces quite a number of major changes to the Python code syntax. I would not use it at this point until it is the official release (end of 2008 projected release date).

Take a look at this Tkinter GUI Builder: [url]http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/spectcl.html[/url] I downloaded the Windows exe file and it works quite well. The target lanuages of the produced code are TCL, Java, HTML, Perl or Python. As with most builders the code is a little wordy, but it works!

Your error is most likely here: finalval = finalval + newlist(i2) you probably mean: finalval = finalval + newlist[i2] Also check the other list indexes. () would be a call, [] is used for indexed list element. It also would help to be a bit more specific in your thread …
