Appeal for python developers

2005-03-05 Thread BOOGIEMAN
Please include "goto" command in future python realeses
I know that proffesional programers doesn't like to use it, 
but for me as newbie it's too hard to get used replacing it 
with "while", "def" or other commands

how to interrupt time.sleep ?

2005-02-22 Thread BOOGIEMAN
I have line  "time.sleep(60)"  in my code

How do I cancel waiting 60 seconds if I want to continue with program 
imediately  ? Like "Press some button if you don't want to wait"

If it can't be canceled what's the other solution to 
"wait certain time/or press any button to continue" problem ?

To clear screen in windows :

#at the beggining of the program
import os

#when you want to clear the screen
os.system("cls")

Thanks, it works but without line "print prompt" and also
I'm not sure if I should put this function :

def cekaj():
while msvcrt.kbhit():
msvcrt.getch()
msvcrt.getch()

#Or this one, which sounds more logical according to help
#kbhit() - Return true if a keypress is waiting to be read. 

def cekaj():
msvcrt.getch()
while msvcrt.kbhit():
msvcrt.getch()
 
It works both ways, not sure which one is right

Alternative to raw_input ?

I need something like "Press any key to continue" code for my program.
Currently I use : raw_input("Press Enter to continue ") but it's lame.

Re: goto, cls, wait commands

2005-02-10 Thread BOOGIEMAN
OK, thanks all
Here's presentation of my advanced programming skills :)

import os
import time

os.system("cls")

number = 78
guess = 0

while guess != number:
guess = input("Guess number: ")
  
if guess > number:
print "Lower"
time.sleep(3)
os.system("cls")

elif guess < number:  
print "Higher"
time.sleep(3)
os.system("cls")

print "That's the number !"
---
BTW, I'm thinking to replace lines "time.sleep(3)"
with something like "Press any key to guess again"
How do I do that ?

Also I wanted to put at the end something like
"Do you want to guess again ?" and then "GOTO" start
of program, but since there is no such command in Python
what are my possible solutions ?

goto, cls, wait commands

2005-02-10 Thread BOOGIEMAN
I've just finished reading Python turtorial for non-programmers
and I haven't found there anything about some usefull commands I used in
QBasic. First of all, what's Python command equivalent to QBasic's "goto" ?
Secondly, how do I clear screen (cls) from text and other content ?
And last, how do I put program to wait certain amount of seconds ?
If I remeber correctly I used to type "Wait 10" and QBasic waits 
10 seconds before proceeding to next command.

Thanks all for very detailed answers. BTW I tried this one but it seems
that it doesn't use VS'es visual designer. Also it doesn't have "build"
option so it is basicly only usefull to higlight Python syntax.
Active Sate Komodo looks like much better choice

Well, I programmed a little in MS Visual Studio 2003, and there you have
Console apllication and Windows application (among others). Windows one is
with buttons and other gadgets. So, I want to make applications that
doesn't open console to display result, I want to display it into the
message box. Also, I want to use that application on the computers where
Python isn't installed

Beginners question, but really what can you do with it ?
How hard is Python to learn compared with other languages
