Re: [Tutor] Which Python Script Editor of Choice?
Ah thanks guy!! Yeah, I guess I didn't mean which is the 'best'... Just some options. Thanks, I'll check out the ones you listed! I'm on Windows btw. Jeffrey Dates www.kungfukoi.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Which Python Script Editor of Choice?
Hello, So as I'm starting to get into writing some scripts, I'm looking for recommendations for a nifty script editor. Ideally a freeware/shareware solution until I can justify a purchase of something more beefy. Currently I'm using PSPad, however it's pretty dumb and doesn't recognize Python context. Which, I suppose is fine, but would be nice if there was one. Especially since I'm learning. My run time environment is IDLE. Any thoughts or preferences would be appreciated. thanks!

Seems so obvious now.. ;-) I'm sure I'll be back with some more newb questions in the future. ;-) jeff. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Newb Learning Question
That's Bob, and Tony, exactly what I'm looking for. ( not the answer, but
the path to it... )
Let me get back to you with my result after I study this a bit.
thanks!!

Re: [Tutor] Newb Learning Question
Sorry forgot to post what I had so far:
for code in range(ord("a"), ord("z") +1):
if code == ord("m"):
print chr(code +1)
Now, this solves for the first letter after "M", but doesn't do it via a
string

[Tutor] Newb Learning Question
Greetings, I have no previous experience in scripting. Python is my first language... I'm currently trying to build a logic model for how to 'think' in Python, so please excuse my ignorance. Currently, I'm running through some basic 101 tutorials, to wrap my head around solving problems. I'm looking for some advice on how to solve the following exercise: "Write a program that prints the first letter of a string that comes after 'm' in the alphabet." I hope this is not too elementary. I do understand basic, basic concepts. iteration, for loops, etc. Just having trouble with syntax, and how to format my logic. thank you in advance for any help or examples.
