. Right, so for i in xrange() would be a better choice? Best regards, Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Information Mobile: (+61) 04 3335 4748 Skype ID: SpaXe85 Email: cont...@xavierho.com Website: http://xavierho.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

erate from n=2 and on every time, which makes generation time linear. However, I just gave the link's code a quick try. It was at least 10x times faster than my code to generate 100000 prime numbers - I'll have a closer look. Thanks a great deal. Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical

as well as the previous version, but slightly safer on my part... and I can adapt this in my future coding habits. Thanks again. Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Information Mobile: (+61) 04 3335 4748 Skype ID: SpaXe85 Email: cont...@xavierho.com Website: http

Re: Try... except....Try again?

, common sense. Also... "while True" has a bad reputation. But mostly outside influences. But if it's okay, it's okay by me.. I can't think of an easier way to code the "try loop" above, anyhow. Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Informa

Try... except....Try again?

pends it into primes. This way, it keeps trying to append until the nth prime requested exist, and returns it. My problem is that it's a "While True" loop, which I get a lot of "Don't do it!" In the light of making the code better, what could I do? Best regards,

Re: help me to find the error

lines = f0.readlines()* Then in the for loop, change f1 to *f1=lines[i].split()* That may just stop it from complaining. Untested, but logically it's sound. Hope that works, Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Information Mobile: (+61) 04 3335 4748 Skype ID: SpaX

ing is 40x slower, and was expected. But I still can't puzzle out why his use of appending in Version B was so much faster than mine. Any insights would be welcome. I'm going on a family trip, though, so my replies may delay. Best regards, Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Arti

Re: Newby Windows User

command like this: python .py That should do the trick. Alternatively, you can type in python and start the python shell in the same folder. Then you can just do import and whatever you like. :] Best regards, Ching-Yun "Xavier" Ho, Technical Artist Contact Information Mobile: (+61) 04

calculating a self.value, self.randomnum = normalvariate(x, y)

hat was to print out 10 random samples. If you're not sure if this is what you want, then um.. not much I can do there. What is this class originally for? If you feel the clamp is too huge, well, I'm always interested in improvements/alternatives! Best regards, Ching-Yun "Xavier"

Re: calculating a self.value, self.randomnum = normalvariate(x, y)

: print applicant(random.randint(0,100), random.randint(0,100)).randomnum == Or you could just use randint() if you only wanted a linear distribution. PS: Thanks, btw, new to python myself also, and looking into this was cool. :]

Re: class or instance method
