There is no control structure and no return value. Nothing is assigned to anything. And none of the names are defined anywhere. It makes no sense to me looking at it and it certainly doesn't make sense to Python trying to execute it. If you want to respond to keys you are going to have to either pass in the keystroke to the function or read the keystroke inside the function. How you do that depends on whether you are using a GUI, and if so which. Whether you are using PyGame. Or if a CLI program which OS you are using.

Re: [Tutor] Need help with python keyboard press/navigation commands
Finally, from a user experience point of view, it might be more logical to make the keys w,a,s,z North, West,East and South respectively since its a more logical correspondence to the compass points (assuming a standard QWERTY keyboard layout). Most games use WASD, so user experience would be in favour of it compared to WASZ. There are a couple of reasons for this: if you're moving forward you're not moving backward, and if you're moving backward you're not moving forward, so the finger you use for W can be used for S. So finger position is W(S) A and D; three fingers that can handle moving at an angle (NW, NE by keys WA or WD, SW and SE by keys SA or SD) or in one direction. Compare with WASZ, moving NW is still WA, but NE would be WS, which are keys that are very close together. Moving backwards (south) would be even worse. Finally, WASD has the same layout as the arrow keys, but is located elsewhere on the keyboard (so you can map other keys to other functions in the games; your pinky is close to both shift and ctrl, thumb to space and C, E, R, F, V and Q, and 1-5 are all within close range -- compare to the arrow keys, where you get four keys (shift, ctrl, 1 and 0) nearby). Some people like to use the number keys (8456 for WASD) instead, as they too are relatively close to more keys, but overall I think that WASD is the standard. At least that's what I suspect. -- best regards, Robert S. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Two separate problems in that code, either of which would be enough to
ruin the count value.
1) Your code sets the count to zero INSIDE the loop, so every time
through, you trash whatever earlier value you had. This assures that
only the last loop matters!
You ought to be zeroing the counter just once, before the loop starts.
2) In your else clause, as soon as you encounter some other character,
the code is zeroing the counter.
count = 0
for i in number:
if i == digit:
count += 1
While I've got your attention, let me point out that nowhere in your
description do you actually tell us what values you're entering, and
what values you expect. You ought to supply sample values which
illustrate the problem. The above code is really only a guess, as to
what you wanted.
But the notion of doing the initialization OUTSIDE the loop is an
important one, and I'm sure that part is correct.

you reset count to zero everytime round the loop.
You need to move this outside the loop.

After incrementing for a little while, if the condition i == digit is not
met for the current character, count is reset by the else: branch. Your
count variable must feel frustrated like a dog which keeps being yanked
back by a cord of length 0 when it tries to get free.

You set the variable in your system's environment, which is platform-dependent. For Linux, you'd typically put a line in your ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc or ~/.login or ~/.bashrc or whatever your shell uses per your account set up. So, for example, in a bash/sh shell, you'd say: export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/my/modules or for csh: setenv PYTHONPATH /path/to/my/modules Then starting the next time you log in, that will be set in your environment for you.

much snipping
For a short question, why did you quote an entire mailing list digest?
Answer to your question, certainly a variable can equal multiple
numbers. Several ways:
1) one at a time. X=5, then later X=7.332
2) a list of values X = [5.3, 8.001, 17, 2]
3) a dictionaryX = {tom:3, dick:42, harry:12}
4) a class. Sky's the limit here
As for random, look up the random.uniform() and random.randint() functions.
Did you have a particular programming language in mind? I've been
assuming Python, but you might be thinking something else. Have you any
experience in any other language?
