It will stay as Screen-method and of course also as function. (As a turtle-method it's only there because of compatibility with the old turtle module.)

Re: [Tutor] Ongoing trouble with Turtle's end_fill() - Important note!
P.S.: If you are interested, you can download a series of sample programs covering a broad range from very easy to fairly advanced, which intend to show some features and capabilities of the new turtle module from here: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Demo/turtle/ These will be included in the source distribution - but not in the Windows installer. IMPORTANT NOTE! In order to have the examples working correctly you have to have turtle.cfg in the directory where the example scripts are (or in that with turtle.py). An easy way to have a look at all the examplescripts is using turtleDemo.py Gregor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Firstrade Authentication: Form Management
Kent hi
I am still unable to enter data into textbox and getting back server reply. The
main problem is that I do not understand which fileds / header to observer
using Firefox Fireburg. Atteched you can see headers I went through. With red
font I marked differences among stages. In nider of the headers I didn't find
fieldds you included in your workable login code.
Questions:
1.) Could you send print screens of what you are using in Firefox Fireburg
2.) In case I am using the currect headres, I would appreciate you mark on the
attached document with pink font important fields to be included in the code in
order to be able to get data from server.
3.) The most usefull (the quickest to understand and re-use) would be if you
coud make workable code to get server reply for XSNX stock ticker(on screen top
left corner: field Symbol - enter XSNX). Once I would see this I would be able
to adjust other searches by myselves. This would be realy usefull knowledge. At
the moment I am able to do web control with iMacro only. I would like to switch
to Python!

You just have to mimic what the browser does. Use a Firefox plugin
that shows you what is being submitted; TamperData is one. Then set
the same fields in your code.
2.) Could you do the same login logic also with MECHANIZE plagin. There

[Tutor] Confused about import Numeric vs import numpy for Arrays
Hi Everyone, I would like to create a two-dimensional array but am confused as to how to go about it. I've read about Numeric Python and Numpy. Are they one and the same? Also, how do I install them?

Hi Dick, just to show you a bit of the versatility of the new turtle module I've prepared to tiny rectangle-generator program examples.

Actually the way this list works is there is no one person who will do this. However if you pose a specific question I'm sure you will get several helpful people will respond. Like this. What book did you read and what topics did it cover? From there someone perhaps even myself will be able to make up something nice for you to program. Then when you have problems with the program come back and ask questions. Since you already programmed in PHP I don't think you'll have too much trouble picking up python.

While some individual may volunteer its unlikely. The way the list works you pose questions and anyone on the list who knows (or thinks they do) the answer will reply. If you have code either post it in a mail(if short) or post a link to pastebin or some similar site. Hopefully some folks will have the time and intreest to review it.
