To time it, store the timestamp (time() from the time module) at the start of the quiz and subtract it from the timestamp the quiz is finished. Restart/Undo is a bit more complicated without goto... I'd store all the questions in one list and all the answers in another list, looping through both: python Code: Original - python Code questions = ['first question', 'second question', 'third question']...

If you look at the documentation, read() accepts a parameter, the # of bytes to read in. You are calling it with no parameters. I got it now, thanks... "serialPort.read()" reads whole string at a time from buffer.

It must catch it... if it doesn't, you've got a serious problem. Apparently it doesn't recognize it as GraphicsError or TclError or IndexError etc......

Quote: Originally Posted by delnan I guess I know why it freezes... your giant if clause alway evaluates to True (thus, all characters are appended and the loop never ends). The interpreter evalutes If c is actually "a", it got the single true condition it needs to cosider the whole if statement True. If c is not "a", it continues and evaluates Code: "A" because the "or"...

i want automatic conversion not manually, that would take days.

You will have to create a file with all available words that can be used given...

You can use combinations in itertools http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html to give the letter combinations for 2 lettters, then 3 through 7 letters, and check those against words sorted on letters. You could use permutations and not sort the words you compare to, but that is many, many more lookups since abc would yield one sorted lookup, but you would have to look up 'abc', 'acb', 'bac',...

I'm creating a python script to measure and display the temperature of my computer and I'm wanting to accept user input to terminate the program, increase and decrease time interval between measurements and pause the application. Here's what I've tried (note this isn't the whole thing, cut out a lot): Code: # Import all the stuff def main(self): # I set up screen stuff here inpt = checkInput(screen) inpt.start()...

I'm new to this forum (and rather new to Python), so hello to all and bear with me I'm trying to make a word stemmer for the Danish language. Basically I want to do what Martin Porter has already done (and I am not allowed to post URL's but google "Danish stemming", first hit), but since his Python wrapper is too much for me to handle right now, I was wondering if anyone can help me get started implementing...

hi there! doesn't have anybody any idea about this?
