Python 2.1 - 2.4 differences
I found some e-book about Python 2.1, I want to print it but just to check first if sintax of Python 2.1 is same as 2.4 ? Also does anybody know where can I download any newer Python related e-book, because there isn't any published yet in my country. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
goto, cls, wait commands
I've just finished reading Python turtorial for non-programmers and I haven't found there anything about some usefull commands I used in QBasic. First of all, what's Python command equivalent to QBasic's goto ? Secondly, how do I clear screen (cls) from text and other content ? And last, how do I put program to wait certain amount of seconds ? If I remeber correctly I used to type Wait 10 and QBasic waits 10 seconds before proceeding to next command. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: goto, cls, wait commands
OK, thanks all Here's presentation of my advanced programming skills :) import os import time os.system(cls) number = 78 guess = 0 while guess != number: guess = input(Guess number: ) if guess number: print Lower time.sleep(3) os.system(cls) elif guess number: print Higher time.sleep(3) os.system(cls) print That's the number ! --- BTW, I'm thinking to replace lines time.sleep(3) with something like Press any key to guess again How do I do that ? Also I wanted to put at the end something like Do you want to guess again ? and then GOTO start of program, but since there is no such command in Python what are my possible solutions ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Alternative to raw_input ?
I need something like Press any key to continue code for my program. Currently I use : raw_input(Press Enter to continue ) but it's lame. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm running Python on Windows XP, so every program I write with Python is a Windows application by my definition. Obviously you are using a different one. (And if you just mean it has a GUI, then my answer is I use wxPython with Python. There is also Tkinter, and other options. Please ask a more specific, detailed question to get useful answers.) Well, I programmed a little in MS Visual Studio 2003, and there you have Console apllication and Windows application (among others). Windows one is with buttons and other gadgets. So, I want to make applications that doesn't open console to display result, I want to display it into the message box.
