[Tutor] Help with Pygame

2015-08-08 Thread franklinscottc
I downloaded pygame and tried testing it and it didn't work. I tried the latest 
version of pygame and it didn't work again. I tried moving the file to the 
place I think the import code gets programs from so it could open pygame. It 
didn't work and then I tried changing the name of the PythonX  folder. My 
version of python is 3.4.3, the pygame im trying to use is 
pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2 Nothing has worked and it gives me this message in 
the python shell:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File C:\Python34\Lib\idlelib\Showdot.py, line 1, in module
import pygame
ImportError: No module named 'pygame'


Please Help

It certainly looks like an installation error.

We'd need a lot more specific details about how you installed
it and what your folder structure looks like. But this list
is really about python and the standard library, you might
get better support on Pygame from the pygame mailing list/forum.

Please help us to help you. I downloaded pygame and tried testing it 
and it didn't work is less than useless.  You need to tell us exactly 
what you did to install pygame, how you tried to test it and exactly 
what happened.  If there is a traceback cut and paste the complete 
contents, just as you've done above.


Now let's play spot the mistake.

My version of python is 3.4.3,
^
the pygame im trying to use is pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

 Hi,
 
 I am new in python, so just curios if there are any good and appreciated
 python certification programs/courses ?

I'm interested in this too, but some googling only finds a 4-part
O'Reilly program that's no longer available.  They're moving their study
materials to https://beta.oreilly.com/learning but I don't see any
obvious replacement for this course.

You might try Alan Gauld's site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ (he's on this
list), http://learnpythonthehardway.org or
http://www.diveintopython3.net/ for step-by-step introduction of
concepts.  There are also a lot of universities offering classes via
OpenCourseWare.  But there's no way to earn any kind of formal
certificate through these, as far as I know.

Hi Alan,

On line 15, I replaced: 'count[address] = count.get(address, 0) + 1' 
with 'line = Counter(address)'.


line = Counter(address)

will create a new Counter object with the address in it with a count 
value of 1.
Every line in the file will create a new Counter, overwriting the 
previous one.
At the end of the loop you will have exactly 1 Counter containing the 
last item

in the loop and a count of 1.

Instead create the Counter before the loop and then use the update()
method to add the address to it. Recall we talked about reading the Counter
documentation? It describes the update() method.

One you have the Counter with all the addresses in you can get the max 
value

and key directly without using a second loop and your maxkee and maxval
variables.

Again read the Counter documentation to see how.

Finally remember the imports. You never show us those but the Counter will
not work unless you import it.


Question: What is the cause of the empty dict?


You create it but never use it. You replaced the line where count got
populated with your Counter call. So count never gets populated.
Just because Counter sounds like count does not mean they are
in any way connected.
