[Tutor] .py vs .pyc
Could anyone tell me why I should use a .pyc file rather than a .py? After doing some research, I have found that a .py file is first precompiled and then run, while a .pyc file is already precompiled and is simply run. But unless I'm mistaken, it seems that a .pyc is no faster or better than a .py file. When should I use a .py, and when should I use a .pyc? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] .py vs .pyc
Then if I understand correctly, I work with .py files and (should) run them as .pyc files?

Re: [Tutor] Extremely simple question
I believe that line 3 raises an error. The because you contained the text
in single quotes, and then used the same character in 'you're not chris',
Python believes that you are trying to type you re not chris. You can
change the single quotes surrounding your string to double quotes (you're
not chris), triple-single quotes ('''you're not chris'''), or
triple-double quotes (you're not chris), or you can tell Python that
you want to include the apostrophe in your string by preceding it with a \
('you\'re not chris'). The latter works on the same idea as \n and \t.

When I open it, the program says I have a syntax error. Praytell,
where

I'm a newbie, but I get NameError because 'x' is not defined.
Also your_name = int(raw_input(What is your name? )) will give this :
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'name'.
As you can't change a string to be an int.
I can't find a syntax error, but next time, please paste the whole
traceback as this helps people with less time than me to sort out
problems.
Good luck with Python

Re: [Tutor] beginner here
You are using an 'elif' for your 'coin_rolls == 1:'. The 'elif' keyword means that if the last 'if' statement (and any 'elif's behind it) was *not* true, only then will it be executed. Your code could be written as 'if rolls is NOT less than or equal to 100, only then check to see if it is 1 or 2'. Replace your first 'elif' with 'if', and it should work.

Re: [Tutor] Encoding
Well, I am assuming that by this you mean converting user input into a
string, and then extracting the numerals (0-9) from it. Next time, please
tell us your version of Python. I'll do my best to help with this. You
might try the following:
the_input = input(Insert string here: ) # change to raw_input in python 2
after =
for char in the_input:
try:
char = int(char)
except:
after += char
If other symbols might be in the string ($, @, etc.), then you might use
the_input = input('Insert string here: ') # change to raw_input in python 2
after = ''
not_allowed = '1234567890-=!@#$%^**()_+,./?`~[]{}\\|'
for char in the_input:
if char in not_allowed:
pass
else:
after += char
This method requires more typing, but it works with a wider variety of
characters. Hopefully this helped.

Hi all,
In my programme I am encoding what the user has in-putted.
What the user inputs will in a string, which might a mixture of letters
and numbers.
However I only want the letters to be encoded.
Does any-one how I can only allow the characters to be encoded ??
Big thanks,

[Tutor] Saving read-only or encoded text files?
Hi. I've been using a lot of text files recently, and I'm starting to worry about a user hacking some element by editing the text files. I know that I can pickle my data instead, creating less easily editable (try saying that five times fast) .dat files, but I'd rather store individual variables rather than lists of objects. Is there a way to make my text files either read-only or saved in some way that they can't be opened, or at least not so easily as double-clicking on them? I just want some slightly more secure code, though it's not too important. I just thought I'd ask. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I find it strange though, that ctypes.CDLL() does not accept library names *with the full path*.

Is this possible? I also don't? like the fact that I can't test the .py file in Idle. Perhaps a complicating factor is a bug in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Linux Ubuntu 10 (the version I'm using): https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/366728 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/366728/comments/21 solution: sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xsession.options (change use-ssh-agent into no-use-ssh-agent) Thank you in advance for your thoughts! Cheers!! Albert-Jan Alright, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on this one, a bit of this is speculation and inference from what I know about dynamic linking. In short, I don't think you can modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the fly and have it actually work. The reason for this is that the linker runs and finds all the libraries *before* the python process actually starts. So by the time you go and modify the environment, all libraries have already been linked, and your modified variable is never even read by the linker. So the best you can do is write a tiny wrapper to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then run your actual script through it. Or you could set the environment variable

I've been doing some research into C++, and I've noticed the for loops. Is there a way to use the C++ version of the loops instead of the Python one? For example, I believe that the Python syntax would be: for a=1, a 11, a += 1: print(a) print(Loop ended.) if the 'for' keyword did it's function as in C++, Actionscript, or most other programming languages.
