I would like to create my title image out of pure CSS3, but there is one feature that I'm not quite sure I can even do. Plus, the features that I know are possible don't seem to mix well. I don't know CSS very well, at least anything past the …

I was trying to edit a post that I made earlier, and the "Edit Post" link brought up the text edit mode, but did not have any "Save" or "Submit". Only "Cancel". Also, the "Edit Post" button was still active. When I clicked it the second time it just "refreshed" …

I know there are plenty of other places to get info or code snippets for **microcontroller programming** (especially **arduino**). Out of all the boards/sites I visit, I like the **DaniWeb** format the most. I was wondering if a **microcontroller** or **arduino** section could have a home here. Or would that …

I almost wasn't going to reply to this, seeing as I don't consider myself a python expert and my advice may not count as much as other people's. It sounds like you might find an open-source project to work on. Not anything big, because I don't think the developers at …

When I was researching on how to get the type of an object everything I read said "don't do type(), use isinstance() instead". Videos from people like Guido van Rossum, or others with a high standing in the python community always drop little comments like: "type() would work here, but …

no module named DailyExpenses, pretty much means what it says. Something is definately wrong with one of the script names/locations. You have DailyExpenses.py or .pyc in the same folder as DailyExpensessave.py ? Not in a subfolder or anything?

This is a piece of code I wrote a long time ago when I saw someone make a "guess this scrambled word" game. The program didn't have to unscramble the word to know what the answer was, but I wanted to do it anyways. I wanted an algorithm that could …

I started using Python a few weeks ago, something finally clicked and I started writing tools for my personal use. I started writing something with a GUI using GTK and the code lines started multiplying rapidly, so I thought to myself "Am I commenting my source to death? How many …

i've only been using Python for a couple weeks now, I wrote a program in tKinter and it was okay (i used xrope as a gui designer). The GUI looked dated. But then I stumbled upon Glade 3 and GTK. It takes some getting used to, because I'm coming from …
