Re: [Tutor] Efficiency and speed
James Reynolds eire1...@gmail.com wrote On that end, I'm almost done readying beginning Python: From Novice to Professional Can anyone recommend anything else for me to read after that? I'm not familiar with that book but I'd say consider what area of programming you are interested in and get a specialist title on that. For example a GUI Framework, Networking, Text processing, XML, Web frameworks, Win32, all have specialist titles to choose from. There are probably more too, those are just a few I have looked at. And finally, read code. Find a real-world project (try Source Forge) and grab the source code and read it, understand it and modify it. You could even try the standard library modules as a starter.

[Tutor] Python help please
Hi my name is Laura and im currently trying to solve one of the challenges in the book: Python Programming, second edition by Michael Dawson... I'm stuck in the 5 chapter because of this challenge, im the kinda person who dont give up so i have to solve this challenge or else i cant move on its just getting really frustrating and i was wondering if u can help me with it. Right now im trying to teach my self programming and i found the book really useful but this challenge is messing with me haha well is the second challenge at the end of the 5 chapter i hope its not to much problem for u and i'd really appreciated if u help me. The challenge: Write a character creator program for a role-playing game. the player should be given a pool of 30 point to spend on four attributes: Strength, wisdom, health and Dexterity. The player should be able to spend points from the pool on any attribute and should also be able to take points from an attribute and put them back into the pool. Thank you so much and please please help me.. this is what im thinking to do so far maybe we can work with it in the interface i want to print Welcome to C.C. so print character, be able to change the name, change the strength (something like Strength:___ would you like to add/sub [+/-]), change health, change wisdom, change dex, and points remaining.. and in the code i was thinking to start with a while loop .this is what i have so far and honestly im stuck i dont now how to start please help me thank you.

Get the data structures/variable set up, then iterate in a while loop adding and subtracting points from the pool to the character. Its a little like double entry book-keeping - for every addition there must be a corresponding subtraction and vice versa If you have a list of characters you will need a corresponding list of pools - or associate the pools with the characters - a dictionary maybe? Start with one character and try getting the most basic version running. If you get stuck show us the code plus any error messages and ask... -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] parsing pyc files
Hello Tutor I have two problems, any help will be highly appreciated. How is possible to trace the all method calls, object instantiations, variables used in running an experiment dynamically, without putting print - or log statements in my code? - some sort of provenance! I would like to create a tool that can look into pyc files to find classes/methods that was executed without looking the the source code. Is this possible in python. Kind Regards Jojo. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
