[Tutor] A few more notes on Python interfaces

[Tutor] Escape sequences

I have code that assigns escape sequences to variables like "self.resetString = '\03'". As long as they are hard coded in, everything works fine. But I want to read the variable from a text/config file so my users can override the defaults. In the file are a list of "parameter = value" pairs like

Re: [Tutor] How to make the loop work?

Hi Bob, You can use a while loop in this case, but range() might be a bit more appropriate! c = 0 d = raw_input("Enter Number Limit: ") for i in range(int(d)): #note, we make sure "d" is an integer!     c = c + 1     print cOn 6/22/06, Bob Gailer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ivan Low wrote:> Hi, I
