Well, "map()" is going to be useful to make the strings you read from the file into numbers. I wouldn't use "reduce()" in this case but I think "sum()" qualifies as "higher order". So it looks like each line of the file has several numbers (and a linefeed). So for …

Maybe: with open('c:\FLOUpper.txt', 'r') as infile,open('c:\FLOLower.txt', 'w') as outfile: data = infile.readlines() data = [i.capitalize() for i in data] outfile.write(data)

I think there are 2 ways depending on just how big the file really is. If it can all be read into memory, then I suggest: data=[] with open(<csv file name>) as fid: lines=fid.read().split('\n') for i in lines: data.append(i.split(',')) data.sort(key=lambda x: x[3]) for d in data: field=d[3] with open('pc_Numbers_'+field+'.csv') as …

It seems this, `blue = IntVar()`, defines "blue". I've had poor results trying to use any widget's textvariable in Tkinter (as opposed to Tk). I think you would need to explicitly set the variable, blue, in the entry widget, blue_text, `app.blue_text.insert(0,blue)` (I think that's the right syntax).

From the [Library Reference](http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#set-types-set-frozenset): > The set type is mutable — the contents can be changed using methods like add() and remove().

Here's my 2 cents: Let's say I have a function that turns Year,month,day into day of year: def ymd2doy(y,m,d): if y<100: y+=2000 ly=0 if (y-2000)%4==0: ly=1 md=(31,28+ly,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31) for i in xrange(m-1): d+=md[i] return d Instead of `if (y-2000)%4==0: ly=1` I want to use a function: def leapyr (y): return (y-2000)%4==0 …

It can be done with the eval() builtin function. **However!!!** it is very dangerous to allow users to input any old thing and then evaluate that input. It would be better to give them a limited set of choices.

Unless I missed it, it seems you haven't posted your code. It would be easier (read: maybe possible) to help if we could see what you are trying to do. If the code is long, maybe just the pertinent piece will suffice.

I'm not sure what your particular needs might be but the standard way of accessing another script is "import <filename>". For that to work, the accessed file either needs to be in the same directory as the running script or in the sys.path. Another, less enthusiastically recommended, way is "execfile(<fully …

get rid of "print(input(..." `name1=input("what is your name: ")`

Take a look at the 'struct' module.

100000 isn't that big. Why not just: f=open(<your text file>) for line in f: if <your search string> in line: <do your thing> f.close() or even: f=open(<your text file>) strA=f.read() f.close() if <your search string> in strA: <do your thing>

There are a couple of choices. You can initalize the object with some attiributes and include methods for changing them: #class test class cA(object): a = 42 def chA(self,b): self.a = b return (self.a,b) f=cA() print f.a x=f.chA(8) print x print f.a raw_input('done') In this case "a" is an attribute …

>>> d={"key1":3,"key2":18,"key3":8} >>> d["key2"]=0 >>> d {'key3': 8, 'key2': 0, 'key1': 3} >>> s=d.items() >>> s [('key3', 8), ('key2', 0), ('key1', 3)] >>> for i in s: ... if i[1]==0: ... del d[i[0]] ... >>> d {'key3': 8, 'key1': 3}

So you want to embed the second loop **inside** the first loop? That's not the way it is now.

Are you allowed to use list comprehension which is an implicit for loop? [i*6 for i in xrange(3,0,-1)] [18, 12, 6]

Did you use ActiveState to get Python? If not, what did you use?

I'm not sure how you're supposedto use re.finditer but not this way. The elements of the returned list are match objects, not strings. I suggest you use findall instead. If I do this: lst1=re.findall(r'rhs="(.*)"',d1) I get this: ['domain.com', 'domainn.com', '1010data.com']

What you've shown is an array (list), that is, it's already split. What are you starting with?

Not to endorse or refute the underlying concept, if you provided the rules (eg: number of vowels is greater than twice the square root of the number of "s"s) I'm sure you'd get some help.

You have: from tkinter import *. *Should* *be*: **T**kinter

If the file is small enough (and that depends on your memory, usually pretty big) to be read all at one go: f=open(<text file name>) strdata=f.read() f.close() c=strdata.count("abc")

Everything is a function except `cSetInsert(5,4)` so that gets executed. cSetInsert tries to use "5" as the argument, "cSet". However the function treats it as a list: `cSet[hashChar(e)]` I think you intended to call cSetCreate() first and pass in the corresponding returned cSet. I don't know what you think "5" …

If I understand correctly you're having a problem parsing the return of "version.sh" which looks like the 15-line report. Try this: Insert after "output=commands.....": outlist=output.split('\n') for i in outlist: if i.startswith("Version"): vers=i.split()[1] if i.startswith("Type"): type=i.split()[1] Then make your "result=..." however you want to format vers and type.

random.choice() will return a single element. Why are you making it a tuple? If you are trying to get the key **and** value out, you will need to do it explicitly: `k=random.choice(d_mod); v=d_mod[k]; arr[y].append([k,v])` if that's what you really want.

You print the index after the value is incremented: index += 1 print "index: " +str(index) So the loop is iterated with the value of "index" equal to 11, then the value of index is increased but the loop is not evaluated so the processing doesn't cease.

Let's say d is a date string in the format you posted. Then `m=datetime.date(*map(int,d.split("/"))).month ` returns the month as an integer. You could construct a dictionary that collects the data for each month: `dctTemp[m].append(newTemp)` Then you can average the values when you collect all the days.

I've used both and I make my decision as follows: I use Tkinter on Windows since Python installs with it and I use GTK on Linux (Ubuntu) since that's what comes with that.

First of all, you probably don't need to close and open "writer" at every step. It's just creating a lot of overhead. Open it once as you do before the loop and close it once afterward. As for the reading files, instead of `writer=open('psub', 'a')`, which I recommend you remove, …

Within the function, you do, indeed, need to initialize y before you can start defining elements. Even then, if you try to assign elements out of order, that is, an element, [i], when [i-1] is empty, you will get the out of range error: >>> y=[] >>> y[8]=5 Traceback (most …

Can you assume that each word is separated by a space (one and only one), and that there are no leading and trailing spaces? If so, let's say your list of strings is "list-1". Then you could make a list of word counts as: `list-2=[i.count(" ")+1 for i in list-1]` …

I'm guessing you're using Python 3.x where print() takes exactly one argument. Instead of `print (x)('x')(y)` you need something like ("something like" because I don't have Python 3 to test on): `print(x + 'x' + y)`

I would start by reading the file into a list: fid=open('file1.txt') lstData=fid.readlines() fid.close() Now the last record is: lstData[-1] To loop through the records from the 2nd to last until the first, `for i in lstData[-2::-1]:`

I'm not really clear what you're trying to do but os.system has fallen from favor and the subprocess module is recommended. Maybe that will suit your needs better.

I don't really see what you're asking. What problem are you having?

look at [this](https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=F5DA0DF892D264EE!675&authkey=!ABykCFZUlTggjxI) for an example. Basically, the key is in the **open()**: > Modes 'r+', 'w+' and 'a+' open the file for updating (note that 'w+' truncates the file). Append 'b' to the mode to open the file in binary mode, on systems that differentiate between binary and text …

assuming this is tkinter, you could use **pack** instead of grid and **-side left** or **-side right**.

Well, when you set enemy equal to goblin, that's really just an association, not a new object. You can see an explanation of the issue and the use of "copy" to deal with it [here](http://docs.python.org/2/library/copy.html?highlight=deep%20copy). Perhaps it is simpler just to instantiate a new obect.

If you don't insist on using RE, fid=open(<csv file>) chklst=["Red Hat","Debian" , "Fedora" , "Linux"] for row in fid: for o in chklst: if o in row: print row break fid.close()

For what you describe, I would eschew the csv module. Generally, split and append: fid=open(<filename>) lstOfLines=[] for record in fid: lstOfLines.append(record.strip("\n").split(",")) fid.close()

Either make the appropriate variables class variables (by declaring them at the class level) or pass values (arguments other than "self") into the function(s) and return the computed result as a variable.

First of all, unzip step doesn't really help you. You can get the ith element of each list with list comprehension: `list=[a[i] for a in column]` for a given i. To get some other set of elements as you describe will require looping through the **number** of elements and taking …

This is sort of buried in the language reference. If you look here: [Click Here](http://docs.python.org/2/glossary.html#term-argument), it gets explained, but you have to dig. In particular: > or passed as a value in a dictionary preceded by ** That means that the identifier after the "**" is a dictionary with "variable …

I can't really follow what you're doing but if you want to print a string with all the "0"s replaced with "_" you can "replace": `>>> "11110abc0".replace("0","_") '1111_abc_'`

It's very ineffient but here goes: a= [10, 5, 2, 7, 20] b=[] for i in xrange(len(a)): b.append(min(a)) a.pop(a.index(b[-1]))

Consider this: last_column = [i[-1] for i in big_list]

The maximum height is where yvel = 0. In your initialization method you have: `self.yvel=velocity*sin(theta)` You know that yvel goes to zero when 0.98*time equals the initial velocity, or at `velocity*sin(theta)/9.8 seconds` So you can figure out when you get to that time at your interval. Now since xvel is …

First a list of all the gemstones: f=open("your file name") gemstones=[] for i in f: gemstones.append(i.split(',')[1]) f.close() now a dictionary where key is gemstone and value is count gcount={} for g in gemstones: gcount[g]=gcount.get(g,0)+1

I dont use WX but I don't think that matters. There's a lot of code there and I admit I didn't read it all. So I don't know really what you're doing already, but you have asked a specific question. I think I would make each sensor a different obect …

Your data is in a 2-d list, data_list. The first step is finding the indices of the 2 months you want. That will accomplished on data_list[0]. index1=data_list[0].index(month1), where month1 is the starting month. Likewise, index2=data_list[0].index(month2). Now you'll loop through the elements from 1 to the end, convert the string rainfall …
