[ 1 in [1,2] for 1 in smth] so it was requesting to have a variable "1" to go through all entries in the list "smth". Since "1" is just a digit, you cannot assign to it in Python (I guess smth like Forth language would allow it?) > Sorry about silly questions. that is ok > For the first attempt, I'm just trying out the example sets by copying > and pasting them into my python, but I'm not sure what could be the > best way to teach myself and get the flavor of it. That is the problem with freedom -- too many ways so some people can easily get lost. In my case I prefer to work in emacs with python mode and ipython being running inside of emacs. So I can simply select the region of the code and pipe it into ipython with a single shortcut. Michael can describe alternatives how to work from vim. Besides that -- there are quite a few free and open-source IDEs for Python: idle, eric (http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric4-screenshots.html). Needless to say that quite a few of them (if not all) are just 1 'apt-get' away for Debian users. > I'm pretty familiar with MVPA stuff and have been analyzing my data > using matlab script.

That would be great if you figure your way linux -> python -> PyMVPA ;-) I bet you would start loving it after you get a single successful analysis done ;-) > Best, > YSL > On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 2:24 PM, Yaroslav Halchenko > <[1][email protected]> wrote: > is that 1 in there instead of l? > sure thing you wouldn't be able to reassign "1" to be smth else ;-) > depending on the version of PyMVPA (0.4.0 has it arelady iirc) you > can accomplish your mission with > dataset2 = dataset["labels", [1,2]] > > I'm now trying the simple example (Tiny example of a full > > cross-validation) and running into an error > > as is shown in the attached file. > > Can anyone help me with figuring this out? -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.
