[Tutor] under, under

2013-05-13 Thread Stafford Baines
Please explain the significance of __some term__.  For example  __name__ as
in 

If __name__ == '__main__':

  main()

 

When is the under, under used?

 

Regards,

[Tutor] Games from Mark Dawson#'s book

2013-05-07 Thread Stafford Baines
I recently wrote to this forum about the games downloaded from Mark Dawson's
book Python Programming 3rd Edition

and couldn't get the graphics games (chapters 11 and 12 of the book) to
work. I had helpful and friendly advice from boB and Dave.

 

The book has been written around python 3.1 and I had been using python 3.3.
In desperation I downloaded 3.1 and

the games seem to be working. At least those in chapter 11. I shall try
those in chapter 12 tomorrow. I'm going

to bed now otherwise  I'll be seeing flying pizzas all night in my dreams.
'll be reverting to python 3.3 eventually 

as I would like to see why the graphics it weren't working with it.

 

Regards to all and thanks for the advice.

 

Stafford

[Tutor] Using graphics

2013-05-05 Thread Stafford Baines
I have just finished Python Programming by Michael Dawson. A wonderful book 
with downloadable examples. However, after many hours of frustrating attempts I 
can't get the graphics to work.

I get error messages such as 'no module called python.image' 

I have made sure that the folder 
Livewires iis in the same folder as the program (Falling Pizzas say, but it 
won't
work with any of the included graphics games)

The book is written using python 3.1 and I am using python 3.3, could this be a 
problem?

Any advice would be very much appreciated as I do wish to use graphics 
facilities.

Thanking any one who can help in advance.
