I wanted the program to stop only after all the letters were typed; why in the

Thanks. I am running into a bunch of problems with the following code, all of
which are clear when running the program
import random
letters='abcdefg'
blanks='_'*len(letters)
print('type letters from a to g')
print(blanks)
for i in range(len(letters)):
if letters[i] in input():
I'm trying to replace the blank(_) with the letter typed in by the user, in the
appropriate blank(_) spot where the letter should be (where is in the letters
list).
letters='abcdefg'
blanks='_ '*len(letters)
print('type letter from a to g')
print(blanks)
input1=input()
for i in
Is there also a way to have the code remember what I typed and not stop after
the first letter the user types? For example, if I typed 'a' once, thus
returning 'a__', and then typed in 'b', I want the code to return 'ab_'
and so on. I wasn't clear about this part in my original post.
How can I use the '.split()' method (am I right in calling it a method?)
without instead of writing each comma between words in the pie list in the
following code? Also, is there a way to use .split instead of typing the
apostrophes? Thank you.
import random
pie=['keylime', 'peach', 'apple',
It's obvious that the word 'without' in my first sentence was meant to be
ommited, and it's a simple question. Thank Gary!

This is what I ended up with btw. Does this insult anyone's more well attuned
Python sensibilities?
letters='abcdefghijkl'
def repeat():
print('wanna go again?')
batman=input()
if batman in ('y','yes'):
main()
else:
return

Thanks, though me not utilizing any of the other advice wasn't from lack of
trying; I couldn't understand any of it. I get it now that I have a corrrect
example code in front of me.

Also, I don't understand any part of the following example, so there's no
specific line that's confusing me. Thanks for the help btw.
var = 42
def myfunc():
var = 90
print before:, var
myfunc()
print after:, var

I'm trying to create an option for the program to repeat if the user types 'y'
or 'yes', using true and false values, or otherwise end the program. If anyone
could explain to me how to get this code working, I'd appreciate it.
letters='abcdefghijklmn'
batman=True
def thingy():
print('type
What I wanted to happen is when the user typed something other than 'y' or
'yes' after being asked 'go again?', the batman==False line would cause the
program to stop asking anything and say 'this is the end'. Instead, what is
happening is that the program just keeps going. I figured that after
Why won't the 'goodbye' part of this code work right? it prints 'ok' no matter
what is typed. Much thanks.
def thing():
print('go again?')
goagain=input()
if goagain=='y' or 'yes':
print('ok')
elif goagain!='y' or 'yes':
print('goodbye')
sys.exit()
thing()
Thanks that helped a lot!

I'm on chapter 9 of this guide to python:
http://inventwithpython.com/chapter9.html but I don't quite understand why
line 79 is what it is (blanks = blanks[:i] + secretWord[i] + blanks[i+1:]). I
particularly don't get the [i+1:] part. Any additional information and help
would be greatly
pie='apple keylime pecan meat pot cherry'
pie.split()
How can I print a word from the list other than this way: print(pie[0:5]) ?
Thanks in advance.

The 2 makes the game play twice instead of 3 times, right? I've tried it with
the 1, but but I'm still having trouble. Again, to be exact, I want to somehow
make it count down from 2 (the number of games)and print. If that's what this
does, is it possible to insert it into my original main
If you get the time, please post an example, because I don't understand.

Could anyone tell me how to make the program tell me how many games are left
before the first game and second game? For example, after one game of guess the
number, I want it to tell me that i get one more game. P.S. I'm totally new to
python (obviously), and I just added numberofgames variable

(Didn't mean to post the last bit.) Is this possibly what you meant? If it is I
still can't figure out how to apply it to the guessthenumber program.
numberofgames=1
while numberofgames4:
numberofgames=numberofgames+2
print (4-numberofgames)
if numberofguesses3:
36 matches
