for example I don't know what this is called » [('cat', 'meow'), ('dog', 'ruff')]

It's called a list of tuples

so I can now remove the square brackets but I want to make it liek this ↴

catmeow
dogrugg

You can do something like this:

your_list = [('cat', 'meow'), ('dog', 'ruff')]
for tpl in your_list:
    print tpl[0]+tpl[1]

def main():
    with open(raw_input("Enter file name: ", "r")) as fin:
        for num, line in enumerate(fin.readlines()):
            print("%d: %s"%(num+1, line))

it is without error checking, u
you can add exception catching to it.

I'm using py4a on android and it helps me script things for my android phone.
stuff like searching messages for desired words,
text encryption and sending via sms
reboot options for root devises
bluetooth control with gui
and some more, I scripted already.

One step further:

data = ''' Max Medium 12345678 58 152
Jane Johnson 87654321 78 201
Bill Bupkiss 23456789 29 29
Nate Newby 98765432 0 0
Harold Humphries 11223344 43 160
Carol Cramer 22334455 102 400
Alvin Adams 33445566 67 120
Fred Frederick 44556677 81 250
Phillip Parker 55667788 44 168
Sam Spade 24681357 16 30 '''

import pprint

data_list = [[int(item) if len(item)<=3 and item.isdigit() else item for item in line.split()] for line in data.split('\n')]

pprint.pprint(data_list)

you have to assign thevariable before using it. in your case, replace the line 1 and 2 with each other.

in python 2.x use raw_input instead of input and then convert it to integer or float.

Importing modules inside anonymous functions:

t = lambda: __import__('time').localtime()
print('Date: %s/%s/%s'%(t().tm_mday, t().tm_mon, t().tm_year))

or

def shippingRate ( poundage , classification ):
    shipping_rate = poundage * classification
    return shipping_rate

you should return shipping_rate in the second function:

def shippingRate ( poundage , classification ):
    return poundage * classification

if you mean to write and run code, there is no support for python 3.3. SL4A only supports 2.6.2 and 3.0.1.

Thanks for this informing comment, Gribouillis.
I corrected iter and added one more function.
any further guide is appreciated.

#from math import*

Thank you pyTony. your Code motivated me to read about itertools :)

Using takewhile doesnt return any word, but an empty list. I think its bacause when takewhile meets the first matching word, it stops iteration and excludes the first found word from the list. In other word, the list of longest words will always be Empty.

PS: yes I call myself beginner because I have no background inProgramming, CS or any other kind of tech. I am a Rehabilitation profesional. BUT I'm in Love with Python and whenever I find free time, I spend it on Learning python. :D

a ')' at the end of line 1 is missing:

celsius = float(input("What is the Celsius temperature? "))

All the Info you need, is accessible through the API documentation: menu > help > API help > bluetooth facade.

from android import Android

droid = Android()

check = droid.checkBluetoothState().result
if check != 1:
    droid.toggleBluetoothState(1,0)
    print "Bluetooth turned ON!"
    droid.bluetoothMakeDiscoverable(300)
    print "Bluetooth is Discoverable for 300sec now"

else:
    droid.toggleBluetoothState(0,0)
    print "Bluetooth turned OFF!"

ordertype =  raw_input(" Is the order for pickup or delivery? ")

while True:
    if not (ordertype.lower() in ["p","d"]):
        print "No, Enter only P or D!"
        ordertype =  raw_input("Is the order for pickup or delivery? ")
    else:
        print "Ok, %s Entered" %ordertype
        break

sorry for the typo. please correct line 5 like this:

if query == "y":

no need to open and close the file several times. for names printing in different lins you can strip the end of line symbol. a simple function is what I would use:

import random

def name_gen()
    query = raw_input("Whould you like to generate a random name? y/n")
    if query == "y" 
        a = random.randint(1, 10)
        b = random.randint(1, 10)
        first_name = open ( 'fname.txt' ).readline(a).strip("\n") 
        last_name = open ( 'lname.txt' ).readline(b).strip("\n")
        print(first_name, last_name)
        name_gen()

name_gen()

there are more solutions that far more expert people here can provide. so condider this post as one option from a novice that I am.
btw, I have not tested this and just posted it as it came to my mind :D

How the following code can be rewritten in a better way?

if you want it to work with every site,I guess you need to consider the encoding too:

print sourcecode.decode("utf8")

from os import path

PATH = "folder_path/file.txt"
if path.exists(PATH) and path.isfile(PATH):
    print "File does exist"
else:
      print "File doesn't exist!"

My Beginners' Solution:

def main():
    print "This program calculates a numeric value for a name.\n"
    first, last = raw_input("Enter your first and last name (with a space): ").lower().split()
    print "\n","-"*10
    totalFirst = 0
    totalLast = 0
    for ch in first:
        totalFirst += ord(ch)-96
        print ch,"=",ord(ch)-96

    for ch in last:
        totalLast += ord(ch)-96
        print ch,"=",ord(ch)-96

    print "-"*10,"\n",first,"=",totalFirst
    print "-"*10,"\n",last,"=",totalLast
    print "-"*10,"\n",first,last, "=",totalFirst+totalLast

main ()

for the other part of your question:

word = raw_input('word: ')
word.split()
print '*'.join(word)+'*'

#>>> H*E*L*L*O*

Yesss! thats it:D
my problem solved with pyTony's Set class.
Thanks so much

maybe something like this:

porttype = "Gi"
print "sh int counters errors | i %s.*/1 " % porttype

>>> sh int counters errors | i Gi.*/1

Really Thank you Gribouillis for your fast reply.

Yes! zip is what I was in need of Exactly.

I came up with this:

list1=['Item1', 'Item2', 'Item3', 'Item4']
list2=['1','2','3','4']

for i,j in zip(list1, list2):
    print '%s______%s'%(j, i)

and the Result:

1______Item1
2______Item2
3______Item3
4______Item4

Just Curious, Can it be done in another way?
