| | Yeah i must say i agree with Vernon. I think it would be great if we were able to change the amount of rep we gave. To make it easy, you could have a default value that automatically went on to save time if needed. But if you wanted you … |

| | First off, you have fallen for a trick almost everyone does when they start to learn programming. We find it in this line: [code=python] if word and word2 in input1: [/code] That looks okay right? well unfortunately its not doing what you think. What the program does is it looks. … |
 | Well i do have one idea, that is we need to educate people as to what it is. I know that a lot of people dont come to the community feedback place. I didn't even know it existed for a while. So is there any way of making an all … |
| | Re: Primes There are a great many prime number generators in the code snippet sections :) [url]http://www.daniweb.com/code/forum114.html[/url] Otherwise, i would look at techniques to find primes.

| | Re: Where next? One of the things i could recommend is to read a programming book. This is great because it will cover mostly everything of the basics. That means that you can brush over anything that you may have missed while teaching yourself. :) |
| | Okay, first off. I have noticed that if i 'up' an answer that was at -1 it suddenly goes to 1. Does that mean my up vote is worth 2? Or does it just skip 0? As well, is this separate from rep? or will it add onto your rep? … |

| | Okay, sounds fun. 1. What i would do is not change where the buttons are, but what colour they are. This means that in your code you can have a sizer easily but the buttons can still change colour meaning blue will not always be down the bottom left of … |
| | I am a peinist. I spend my time composing, and singing. :P  |
| | Check what python version you have, i think you may have python 3.1 which means that you would not have such thing as a raw_input statement. So instead of[ICODE] raw_input[/ICODE], just replace it with [ICODE]input[/ICODE]. That should sort things out. Also remember for posting in the future, it is a … |

| | You are first when i look at it :S  |
| | This code shows an example of using recursion to simply solve a problem. Note though, it can take a long time to do larger numbers such as the 50th fibonacci numbers this way. Hope this helps! :)  |
| | [QUOTE]Should you decide to have fun with Python, be aware that the language has been modernized starting with version 3. I would recommend to start with the present version Python 3.1.1[/QUOTE] Yeah as he said, wxPython has not been made for python 3. The versions that have wxPython support are: … |
| | So basically do you always want the last 4 arguments printed out? Because if that is the case i wouldn't use a while loop i would go something like this: [code] import sys #-4 means start from the back and count back 4 #and then the rest of the arguments … |

| | No. Because its hard to read code (especially python) without code tags [code] import re infileName1 = raw_input("Enter filename ") infile1 = open(infileName1, 'r') data1 = infile1.readlines() outfile = open("test.txt", 'w') for line in data1: parameters = line if re.search("KEYWORD",line): count = 1 for i in range(count): outfile_temp.write(parameters) [/code] So … |
| | Hi guys, I have been programming in python for just a bit over 2 years now. Being quite apt at it i was wondering, what can you do to really extend yourself in python? We have a lovely thread in the Projects for Beginners, but in some ways i have … |

| | Personally i understand the big deal. Its about WHY they are expensive. What is it about calling a function that makes it harder on the program and if you want to make a super amazingly quick program and it had to be in python then maybe this could even matter … |
| | Hi, I just noticed in quite a few previous posts from the staff that it seems like a major upgrade of vBulletin is coming in. Well, that made me wonder, what is going to improve from this new version? What can we expect to see when it is brought in? …  |
| | If you're new to python, its easiest to get yourself a script someone else has already written. I know vegaseat has a few i use from time to time. But also i find things that automate most of the process for you is quite nice. For that i would recommend … |
| | Re: Scripting Personally i think instead of using the above code you should try make it yourself by learning python [url]http://docs.python.org/tutorial/[/url] Its really not that hard, and your tasks are only going to get harder. |
 | I usually see no point of using twitter for a lot of things. But for this i must say i wouldn't mind it. That way i could find out if the server was going down for a short amount of time rather than just stressing that something was stuffed up … |
| | Threading is a bit more complex than that. First we need to start the __init__ method of the threading class soo [code=python] import threading class first_time(threading.Thread): def __init__(self): threading.Thread.__init__(self) [/code] There we go, threading class's constructor has run, now the new class has all the attributes from the Thread class. …  |
| | Re: My Resignation Cheers AD, I must say since i first joined this forum, you were always someone to look up to quite a bit :) good luck down the track  |
| | In every class in the __init__ method you have to put [code=python] threading.Thread.__init__(self) [/code] Without this threading with classes just dosent work properly. So for example [code=python] import threading class Test(threading.Thread): def __init__(self): threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): #dostuff T = Test() T.start() [/code] Hope that helps |

| | If you use sizers you should be able to let the sizers automatically resize themselves so that the image will always have enough space and that the other panel will shrink to accommodate for it. Have a look at them here: [url]http://wiki.wxpython.org/UsingSizers[/url] |
| | Yeah that would work, except the last "COUGARS" would be on a seperate line, if you wanted it to stay on the same line as "What does it spell..." then you need to use some arguments like: [code=python] print("What does it spell...", end = " ") [/code] This makes the … |
