Now I find myself scratching my head and saying to myself: "now what?"
Good question. Why did you download and install it?
Did you have a specific need or did it just seem like a good idea at the
time?
I installed the pywin32 as to use the color changing capacity.
Except for the Pythonwin editor which is far superior to IDLE IMHO.
Definitely have a play with that.
Actually I am using "Programmer's Notepad" to create my python scripts.
HTH,
Thanks both to Alan G. and Scott N. and Kent J. for your responses. I think
that I will eventually learn all aspects of python programming (if I am
lucky). So I will pursue all three types of changing color.
First I will try WConio, next to be followed by EasyGUI, and last as Scott
has pointed out the more difficult pywin32.
Below please find my first basic attempt at using the WConio:
--------code--------
from WConio import textcolor
apples_left = 5
print "There are",(textcolor(4)),apples_left,(textcolor(7)),"left in the
basket."
---------------------
The output works, but there is one snag. I think that I am leaving
something out because it has the word "None" on both sides of the variable.
There are None 5 None left in the basket.
I tried both textcolor(4 | 0) and textcolor (4,0). The first has no change
and the second has an error:
---------------
Traceback (most recent call last)
File "changecolor.py", line 6, in <module>
print "There
are",(textcolor(4,0)),apples_left,(textcolor(7,0)),"left in the basket."
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
---------------
Could someone let me know what I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
Katt
