That is why it has been a good tradition to remove everything when you reply that isn't relevant to what you're replying to. Of course, with the sorry excuse for an editor you habe in a web based form that's more difficult to do than with a real editor. That's one of the reasons I would advice to use a specialized program that can be made to use the editor of your choice. Another extremly annoying thing when reading via Google groups is that there's no reasonable threading, i.e. it's not immediately obvious what is meant as a reply to a specific post. That makes Google groups basically useless for longer discussions. And then Google groups overflow with spam messages that any self-respecting news server would discard, so you never get to see them.

And while some groups may be nicer than others, that's no excuse for Google at all to actively trying to destroy them.

You've defined two very different bWater objects. One is an instance attribute of the class Ui_MainWindow, while the other is an int at global scope. The latter is never usefully referenced, but it's there to cause a confusing error message. Those three calls through the clicked attrbute are evidently intended for the button object, which is inside the class instance. My guess is that those three lines should be inside the setupUI method, and should have self. prefix on each. Next problem is that there's a comment at the beginning: # Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'mygui.ui' # # Created: Fri May 10 20:27:13 2013 # by: PyQt4 UI code generator 4.10.1 # # WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost! which implies this file is a generated one. If you ever rerun that UI generator, you'll wipe out any changes you've made. Again, I'm not familiar with PyQT, so I don't know how likely that is. Next problem is that you have no top-level code that calls main(), which is evidently the code that gets things moving. Generally, you want to put all the top-level code inside main(), in which case the call to main() would be the only top-level code left. But there are exceptions. imports should nearly always go to the top, at top level. And you conditional functions need to stay at top-level just as you have them (the two clauses with try/cath in them). Final problem that I can spot is that if you DO need to reference those four functions from mainline code, you'll have to move them earlier in the file. But if you agreed with my earlier suggestion to move the three lines inside that method, then this wouldn't be a problem any more. i was wondering if somebody could walk me through making the game complete and to add the results of the game (win/lose/stalemate) to the loutcome label Once you get to the innards of PyQT, I'll be no help at all.

You etermine which of all the possible events to which widget are relevant to you, write handler functions for them and tell the widget to call some function when an event happens. The simplest case is a button: you want to react to it, so you write a function for what's to be done when it's clicked on and then tell Qt to call that function once it gets clicked (there are different events even for a simple push button, it can be clicked, just pushed, released etc.). And if you have set up everything for that you tell Qt to start waiting for events. So the steps are: 1. Tell Qt that this is a program using it app = QtGui.QApplication( sys.argv ) 2. Create your graphical interface (what you seem to have done more or less) 3. Connect desired events (what's called signals in Qt lingo) for a certain widget to the function to be called with something like your_widget.clicked.connect( your_function ) (replace 'clicked' with e.g. 'pushed' or 'released' when interested in a push or release signal instead) 4. Start the event loop (i.e. have Qt wait for the user to do something and call one of your functions if the user did something you're interested in) with app.exec_( ) When this returns the game is over. So you don't wait for keyboard input with input() like in your original program but instead tell Qt to do the waiting for you and call the appropriate function you defined when something interesting happens. What you probably will have to change about the graphical interface is that instead of using QLabel widgets for 'Air', 'Earth', 'Fire', 'Water' to use e.g. QPushButtons since QLabels are rather static objects - they don't receive any click events and it's rather likely some kind of event like this is what you're going to want to react to.

oh FYI its for my college course.. i didnt really want to use Visual Basic so
the teacher cannot help
below is the QT GUI Code

I'm surprised that the teacher is allowing you to complete the assignment in Python if he/she doesn't know the language. basically i want to have it so that the element images in the GUI are linked with their corresponding variable(water with lblWater) and in the background the computer selects their own random integer and the results are displayed in the lblOutput. I'm not all that familiar with PyQt specifically, but I can tell you that GUI programs are typically event-based rather than simply procedural like your RPS game. That means that the while 1 loop that you have will be replaced with the Qt event loop. You will also need to write event handlers for each of the four element labels, so that when a user clicks on one of them, the game will go through the logic of receiving the player's choice (based on which one was clicked), determining the result of the match, and finally updating the output label accordingly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Quit the course and go study someplace else... I wouldn't want to be in any course where people use VB and PHP to build GUIs! ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
