a way to keep track of # of clicks
Is there a way to keep track of the number of times someone clicks on a menu item in a prorgam? What I want to do is make the rectangle disappear after they click on it at the main menu 3 times so visually show them they can't do it any longer. Since I appended the button to a main menu list, I would think undrawing it would have something like pop.mainMenuList[8] in it after they click on it three times. (not in succession, after it takes them to the questions screen and then back to the main menu) Any suggestions? thx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Highscores list
I'm writing a game that uses two functions to check and see if a file
called highScoresList.txt exists in the main dir of the game program.
If it doesn, it creates one. That part is working fine. The problem is
arising when it goes to read in the high scores from the file when I
play again.

highscores list
I'm writing a game that uses two functions to check and see if a file
called highScoresList.txt exists in the main dir of the game program.
If it doesn, it creates one. That part is working fine. The problem is
arising when it goes to read in the high scores from the file when I
play again.
This is the error msg python is giving me
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
main()
File "I:\PYTHON\PROJECT #3\PROJECT3.PYW", line 330, in main
if(hasHighScore(wins) == True):

scores[i],names[i] = string.split(line,"\t")
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
Here's the relavant code:
def hasHighScore(score):
#opens highScoresList.txt
infile = open("highScoresList.txt",'r')
scores = [0,0,0]
names = ["","",""]
#reads in scores from highScoresList.txt
i=0
for line in infile.readlines():
scores[i],names[i] = string.split(line,"\t")
names[i]=string.rstrip(names[i])
i += 1
infile.close()
#compares player's score with those in highScoresList.txt
i=0
for i in range(0,len(scores)):
if(score > int(scores[i])):
return True
else:
return False
def setHighScores(score,name):
#opens highScoresList.txt
infile = open("highScoresList.txt",'r')
scores = [0,0,0]
names = ["","",""]
#reads in scores from highScoresList.txt
i=0
for line in infile.readlines():
scores[i],names[i] = string.split(line,"\t")
scores[i]=int(scores[i])
names[i]=string.rstrip(names[i])
i += 1
infile.close()
#shuffles thru the highScoresList.txt and inserts player's score if
higher then those in file
i=len(scores)
while(score > scores[i-1] and i>0):
i -= 1
scores.insert(i,score)
names.insert(i,name)
scores.pop(len(scores)-1)
names.pop(len(names)-1)
#writes new highScoresList.txt
outfile = open("highScoresList.txt","w")
outfile.write (" High Score Name \n")
outfile.write ("-\n")
i=0
for i in range(0,len(scores)):
outfile.write("\t" + str(scores[i]) + "\t\t\t" + names[i] + "\n")
outfile.close()
And here's the call to the functions at the end of my game, included in
the error msg.
#adds player's score to high score list if high enough
if(hasHighScore(wins) == True):
setHighScores(wins,getName(wins))
And this is what the text file looks like when it happens.

project - trivia game
For my final project, I'm trying to do a GUI based game similar to are
you smarter then a 5th grader. I've been working on it and am stuck
with some code someone helped me with to randomize the A,B,C,D letters
that the correct answer is assigned too. The code that does this is
highlighted in bold and the code that assigns it to a variable is also
in bold so I can test it in the console window. Problem is, it's always
stuck at letter A and doesn't always give the correct answer. The
correct answer is always position 1 in my make math question list.
Could someone please help?
thanks
BTW, to whoever asked me why I don't use functions b4, I'm using them
now that I've learned how to... :P ;)

a few questions.
1. whats the best way to round a result to 4 decimal places? I tried round, but then read that it only works with exponents of 10. I'm trying to do it on this piece of code. time = (distance / 4900) 2. What direction would I go in if I'm getting 5 inputs from the user and want to make a bar table out of them where a * represents a 100 of the total number? For example, Store 1: * * Store 2: * Store 3: * * * ect, I already know I'm going to be expecting to use a for loop (0,4) since there are 5 inputs, but how to get from say, 200 to the output of * * I'm a little lost. thx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Does anyone know how to clear the shell screen completely ? I tried
import os and then os.system("clear") was said to have worked in Windows
XP, but it's just bringing up another window, then it turns black and
then it closes in within about a second moving the prompt at the

Re: while within while
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Unfortunately, a lot of the issues
brought up were simply the way I was taught by my professor and the way
she wants things done,having to use a numbered menu as opposed to
entering r, p or s, being taught just to use one main function for the
entire program, having to init all variables in the program b4 the
actual program starts or else points off for each program, while
statements surrounding every input statement for input validation
purposes...
Going beyond those things, would look like someone else wrote my program
since we didn't talk about or ever cover them in class. I think we get
to true statements in the next chapter next week.
It turns out that my problem was with indentation, as soon as I fixed
it, it's working perfectly now.
thx

while within while
I've been having some problems with using a while statement for one menu
within another while statement for the main menu, first time I've done
it. It's with choice number two from the menu. When I run the program,
I get a UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ai' referenced before
assignment. I initialize ai as "", but then it just skips to the you
choose scissors I choose and nothing shows up. As soon as I take away
the while again[0] == "y": statement, the program is fine again which
leads me to think I'm just placing it in the wrong place. I just want
to ask the user if they would like to play again and loop them back to
the weapons menu if they choose yes. If they choose no, loop them back
to the main menu. I've placed the question again=raw_input("Would you
like to play again? ") at the end the tasks for menu choice two. Ignore
threeone step at a time. ;)

Re: for loop
I agree, but if I want to get a A on the program, thats how my professor

greatest and least of these...
I just wrote a program to let the user input a series of whole numbers
and tell them which is least and which is greatest based off of a menu.
However, the menu isn't kicking in after they pick a number. I included
a while statement for a loop just for the menu and compared it to my
other programs that have a similar setup and are working, but I'm
stumped. Here's the program...
def main():
#define and initialize variables
#choice as int
choice = 0
#number as int
number = 0
#intro
print "WELCOME TO THE GREATEST AND LEAST NUMBER PROGRAM!"
print
#Menu loop
while choice != 2:
#display menu
print "Please choose from the following menu: "
print "1. Enter a number"
print "2. Exit"
print
#prompt user for their menu choice
choice = input("Enter your choice here: ")
#if statements to determine which choice
if choice == 1:
nums = []
while number >=0:
nums.append(number)
number = input("Please enter a number.")
elif choice == 2:
print "Have a great day!"
if len(nums) > 0:
print "The smallest number that you entered was:",min(nums)
print "The largest number that you entered was:",max(nums)
else:
#invalid
print "Invalid selection. Enter either one or two."
print
Also, if they quit the program with choice #2 and entered numbers, it
should display the greatest and least of them. If they just started and
didn't enter anything and want to quit, I get an error message saying
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'nums' referenced before assignment.
Isn't the if statement supposed to keep python from going there since if
they didn't enter any input, the length of the list should just be zero.

I'm having problems with my for loop here to calculate estimated
population output to a table. Instead of knowing how much I want to
loop it, the loop index is going to be whatever number of days the user
enters. When I run my program, it asks the 3 questions above but then
just dead stops at a prompt which leads me to believe there's something
wrong with my loop. I have the exact same setup in another program, but
the loop index has a specific value. I tried (0,days), (1,days) ect.
and I don't think for loops need accumulators, I've tried it with one
anyways and it still stops.
Any idea's?

while statements
I just learned about while statements and get why you place them around
inputs for validation, but I'm a little lost on exactly where to place
it with what condition in this program where the number of fat grams
exceeds the total number of calories so that it loops back and asks you
the two questions again instead of just saying The calories or fat grams
were incorrectly entered. Any idea's?
thx

#Prompt for calories
cal = input("Please enter the number of calories in your food: ")

print "Error. The number of calories must be positive."
#Prompt for fat

if then elif
I just learned about if, then elif statements and wrote this program.
The problem is, it's displaying all of the possibilities even after you
enter a 0, or if the fat grams are more then the total number of
calories , that is supposed to stop the program instead of continuing on
with the print statements that don't apply. Any idea's? thanks
#Prompt for calories

positive"

else:
#Calculate calories from fat
calfat = float(fat) * 9
#Calculate number of calories from fat
caldel = calfat / cal
#change calcent decimal to percentage
calcent = caldel * 100

print "Your food is low in fat."
elif caldel >= .3:
print "Your food is high in fat."
#Display percentage of calories from fat
print "The percentage of calories from fat in your food is %",
calcent
Here's an example of the output...
Please enter the number of calories in your food: 50
Please enter the number of fat grams in your food: 30
Error. The number of calories and/or fat grams must be positive
Your food is low in fat.
The percentage of calories from fat in your food is % 0.0
It was supposed to print The calories or fat grams were incorrectly
entered since the calories from fat was greater then the total number of
calories.

string questions
Hi everyone, I'm a beginning programming student in Python and have a few questions regarding strings. If s1 = "spam" If s2 = "ni!" 1. Would string.ljust(string.upper(s2),4) * 3 start it at the left margin and move it 12 spaces to the right because of the 4 *3? If so, why is it in the parathesis for the upper command and not the ljust? I already know that it would cap it to NI! 2. To get the output "Spam Ni! Spam Ni! Spam Ni!" I could do something like this string.join ([s1, s2]), But I'm a little lost how to get it repeated three times on one line. Would I just have to put the same command on the next two lines? 3. To change spam to spm, the string.replace seems to be the best function to use. However, when I use string.replace(s1, "a", " ") in python to replace a with an empty space, it doesn't work...I just get spam back when I print s1. Any ideas? Thanks. -Shawn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
