nice to hear from you. I think i have also come across a web crawler while reading the book "Core python programming "

@Jacob

Yeah.Keep close to that book.It helped me alot.A web crawler is used to download and index the web.I made it for
my search engine project that is still in progress

@worldbest
Thanks alot .waiting for more contributions from you.

Please can someone help me out with this python code. I am a new learner and i tried to run this code but it brings out incorrect syntax.

print 'What is your name?'

favorites.py
1. # Favorite stuff
2. print 'Tell me what your favorite color is.'
3. favoriteColor = raw_input()
4.
5. print 'Tell me what your favorite animal is.'
6. favoriteAnimal = raw_input()
7.
8. print 'Tell me what your favorite food is.'
9. favoriteFood = raw_input()
10.
11. # display our favorite stuff
12. print 'You entered: ' + favoriteFood + ' ' +
favoriteAnimal + ' ' + favoriteColor
13. # print 'Here is a list of your favorite things.'
14. print 'Color: ' + favoriteColor
15. print 'Animal: ' + favoriteAnimal
16. print 'Food: ' + favoriteFood


One Love.

Hmm, Once again as it was said in the previous pages PYTHON IS NOT JAVA.
There would be no need of printing the prompt separately and getting the value when you can do both at a time.
MY version

# Favorite stuff
favoriteColor = raw_input("Tell me what your favorite color is: "
favoriteAnimal = raw_input("Tell me what your favorite animal is: "
favoriteFood = raw_input("Tell me what your favorite food is: "
# display our favorite stuff
print 'You entered: ',favoriteFood,favoriteAnimal,favoriteColor
# print 'Here is a list of your favorite things.'
print 'Color: ',favoriteColor
print 'Animal: ',favoriteAnimal
print 'Food: ',favoriteFood

Jacob, i tried to run your codes but error also. Have you tried to run it and see if compile?

One Love.

Whatz the error message ?

both codes shud work, but jacob's approach is better

what is ur error message?

It brings error

Invalid syntax

print 'You entered: ',favoriteFood,favoriteAnimal,favoriteColor

It pointed to this ' before the comma near favourite food, when i tried to remove it, it brings out error again which was EOL while scanning literal.


One Love.

i dont see anything wrong here,
maybe you have backtick instead of a single quote, that can happen if u copied from somewhere

or maybe you are getting something wrong. somewhere.

another possible scenario is when python is not interpreting the colon : as a string, it will definitely point to that location

Nairaland programming section is getting boring

The script works perfectly. 

@jacob05:  I think your programming student is trying to compile it with Java, heh

By the way, interested in collaborating on Python projects?

Yes sir !!

I have been thinking of this for sometime now,
building a portable ftp software, portable in that it can be saved on a flash disk and used on any computer without the need to install it.
maybe we go for that? I have been using pyQT lately and i have fallen for it.

With the QT designer, we can draw the GUI and then use pyuic to get the codes out.
then we just get a separate file for the methods.
we will need many method and this is where the team play comes in.

Let me know if u feel there is a successfull PORTABLE ftp program out there or you have a better sugestion.
i just feel we can learn while doing something.

when you Gurus decide, i will create a thread for it

Portable FTP? There must be dozens out there! But you can make one with a better GUI - that matters.

Am just new to python, just learned tuples, dictionary, and list. So am way far from a pro. I need a program that would accept in images and show them sequentially, changing after a specified period of time or if the user clicks next. The program would record how long each person spent on a picture and the total time spent. Thereafter it passes the output to a text file.

@seun, i thought so too, pls bring more ideas.


@adewale, you mean standalone app or web app?

I'd prefer a standalone app, since its for a psychology experiment, but if it would be easier as a web app then a web app. But i'd still prefer a standalone app. Thanks

Sounds like fun. How much are you paying?

NICE SITE,

Interesting thread on Python.

A pity I can't join you guys, went through the all thread and it reminded of my days learning BASIC and FORTRAN in school. Not kidding. Made me wish I hd learnt Python as a first programming language. Thin Nigeria Education System/Curriculum same one that made me a Windows person(would have preferred to hve been brought up on Linux).

Downloaded th Python Interpreter(came with apache2triad), but right now Java is doing so much beautiful things in my Codes (and I discover more everyday check JavaFX => www.javafx.com), that am not even looking outside for now. And f I do the following Languages are in my queue => Ruby, Lisp(Scheme or CLISP) and Scala.

All in all, Python has been end to be an hackers lanuage check/google Paul Graham's Blog (Python) www.paulgraham.com. But for now its most impressive as a Beginner's Lanuage to ME. And for hacking Then you better be using LInux.

Hello guys! Discussions on python and its capabilities have been on for sometime and I like it. Its important to note that what makes the language so powerful, as you all read from the begining of this thread, are: simplicity, portability (ask javarist, "C"rist, "C++"rist and the like), object oriented, and u can use it to do almost anything any other programming language can do on this planet.

Learn the codes, tweak the codes, maintain the codes, and above all, share it. Python is a minimalist that possesses the GLOBAL CAPABILITY on can think of.

On my way to start sharing my tiny codes with u guys!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

where is ~Every boody

Here. I'm going to start sharing code very soon.

wud love to see the codes

Me TOO !!!

@webdezzi, Hello,plz i need ur email cos am getting started with php and i know it is your field, from the days of mygamma. Which php server do you suggest i use and where can i get a good material online, besides php.net? Tanx
