That format is what is called json (javascript object notation) - i am surprised it is in python too - a very smart way to represent arrays with keys and values.

I am currently downloading the windows msi - i will be back later - thanks for the support guys.

@dhtml
Great , Waiting for more contributions from you.

Once i am done with these hello world stuffs, i will try see if i can rewrite some of my simple c/c++ programs in python - that is what i alwayz do each time i learn a new lang - before i start doing serious business with it.

@dhtml
Wow ! , What a coincidence ,i am also beginning C++ and i have been able to compile and run few of my "hello world" python programs and what amaze me most about c++ is it speed at compiling scripts into executable programs .

Yeah right, no problem, since you have a head start, maybe i will be asking you questions when i am stuck.

@Jacob05

thanks for the code sent. i ran it and it worked well but i have a comment on the code.
when choice == '1', it takes both name and father's name and adds it to the database, i noticed that it was replacing the names that already existed.

for instance, i tried adding another 'dipo' with surname 'hussein' and it replaced the ' dipo son of elegbede' that came with the defined dictionary.
can you please look thru and let me know what's up?

second, i have problems with the topics,'creating functions and classes' and also how to call both.
particularly, an instance from your code, if __name__ = __main__!
such things kinda scare me and its not making me go forward with my reading.

please reach out.

jac

the other code that had lots of functions defined from the beginning came with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/python4beginnersprac/wiyf2.py", line 66, in -toplevel-
Try_Load_File()
NameError: name 'Try_Load_File' is not defined.

i have not really gone thru it as i copies and ran while browsing.
i would go home and read thru again and see if i can come up with anything.

kindly look thru from your end as well.

please can we schedule a tutorial online. i think i need some guidance now more than ever if i would be good @ python.

thanks man.

@E_DIPO
you replied atlast.
@ERROR
remove Try_Load_file() line in the script.when i was writing this second code i had multiple choices to choose from , i thinking of the script automatically loading a default file in which all data is saved in But i concluded on you loading the file manually.Sorry for the small error. I will post the other solutions latter on.

@ Jacob05,

i will do that as soon as i return to my assignment later today. thanks.

you did not mention anything about the topics i raeised and the tutorial issue i started.

please lets look at it and see what we can arrange.

thanks.

@E_DIPO
you CAN ask any question or request for any tutorial on this thread remember this thread is for "PYTHON".
And about the tutorial you requested, i don't think am that "Smart" or "Good" enough to teach you python. i can only try and solve few of your coding problems , am also a beginner in programming .webdezzi may be of help.

Python

I am planning to learn php.do u tink i Python offers wat php gives @all

@ Jacobs05,

no sweat bro, it's all good and i feel everybody would learn if it's all done here.
can you pls send the other solutions.

i still do not think or better put, agree that you can not teach me. there are certain codes you have written that tells me you are better than i am.
just teach me the little ones you know more that me and i would be grateful for that. you do not need to be a whiz to teach. as far as python is concerned, every concept learnt, is a concept gained.

look at those topics again and please help, come outta you shell.

@ webdezzi

please would you mind teaching me certain aspects in pyto.

thank you.

it appears you've got solutions to ur problem @jacob

@omoosedabi

i will advice you stick to php if it is for the web. For a newbie, you will get help easily.

Python is easier though.

imagine this

f=open("test.txt","w"
f.write("this is a test file"
f.close()

those lines will create a file named test.txt and put "this is a test file" inside it
python is THAT simple

php might look somthing like this.

$f=fopen("test.txt","w";
fwrite($f, "this is a test file";
fclose($f);

PHP has more syntax compared to python you dont need semicolons and the dollar signs in python.
just indentation, and i makes the python code easier to read. python can turn out to be ur answered prayers if you are into software development, too much free modules

@webdezzi
what problem ?
@E_DIPO
i have solved them but am not able to connect to the internet on pc{am currently on phone}. Zain is becoming crowded !!!.

Solution 1

import random
Words=['dipo','elegbede','wale','adeyemo','owolabi','awodein','bimbo','salami',
'taribo','west','austin','okocha','titi','onafeko']
rand_list=random.sample(Words,len(Words))
for i in rand_list:
print i

solution 5

import random
trys=0
guess=''
Words=['dipo','elegbede','wale','adeyemo','owolabi','awodein','bimbo','salami',
'taribo','west','austin','okocha','titi','onafeko']
rand_word=random.sample(Words,1)[-1]
print '-'*40,'\n',' |','Welcome to This Guess Program','|\n','-'*40
print 'I am Thinking of a word, The word as ',len(rand_word),' letters\n'
print 'You Have Five Chances to Check if a letter in The word ,And That YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN'
while guess not in (rand_word,'exit'):
while trys < 5:
print 'Trys =',trys
letter=raw_input('Enter a Letter to Check >> ').lower()
if len(letter) ==1:
if letter in rand_word:
print 'Yes'
trys+=1
else:
print 'No'
trys+=1
else:
print 'Letters Only !!!'
trys+=1
print 'Now You Are on Your Own'
guess=raw_input('What is the Word i\'am Thinking of >> ').lower()
if guess != rand_word:
print random.choice(['Nope','No','Rara O !!','Nba'])
else:
break
if guess == rand_word:
print 'YES !!! The Word i was Thinking of is',rand_word
raw_input('Enter Any Key To Exit, ')
else:
print 'The Word i was Thinking of is',rand_word
raw_input('Enter Any Key To Exit, ')

@E_DIPO
hope you can solve the 4 question for yourself now or should i.waiting for your reply.

Guys what are still doing with python (do you want the snake to bit or swallow you?) come over to Java or dotnet

Why go over to dotnet or java when python can do and do it easily?

Let us do something with python - a project. Something that can teach every aspect of python. I pray I don't get missing again,

@Alexis
On your lead, commander

let us discuss it & we should allow others to contribute. what do you think?

As your lordship pleases.

If you're into python, visit irc://irc.freenode.org #python-ng -- It's an empty channel that I decided to start up if people are interested in this sort of thing

irc:

print "hello world"

Python is a really nice language.Built my web crawler with it.
