I'm trying to teach myself python and have run across a rather annoying error. I'm not sure exactly where the fault lies, so please pardon me for posting too much information, I'm not sure what would be relevant.
I'm running the Python 3.2 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer found on http://www.python.org/download It opens fine, seems to run other scripts fine, but fails when I try to run my temperature converter script. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python a couple times, but it fails the exact same way. I try to leave debugging on in IDLE, but all the windows simply close and the processes exit. Any ideas on what to try next to fix this? [code] #!usr/bin/python # Filename Temp_converter.py print('''Temperature converter, by ***** *****.\n' Please enter the Temperature you wish to convert, followed by the unit (C or F).''') while True: #This forces the program to come back to the beginning if the units end up being entered incorrectly. raw = input(' > ') #prompt for temp windchill = False #used later, defining now if raw.endswith('F') or raw.endswith('f'): #Fahrenheit statement temp = int(raw.strip('Ff ')) #Returns just the numeric value unit = 'Celsius' #notes what we're converting to if temp <= 40: #if appropriate, offers to calculate wind chill windchill = True tempf = temp #sets tempf for use as the fahrenheit format for windchill global tempf temp = (5/9)*(temp-32) #Converts Temperature break #operation completed, move to close elif raw.endswith('C') or raw.endswith('c'): #Celsius statement temp = int(raw.strip('Cc ')) #Returns just the numberic value unit = 'Fahrenheit' temp = (9/5)*temp+32 #Converts Temperature if temp <= 40: #if appropriate, offers to calculate wind chill windchill = True tempf = temp #sets tempf for use as the fahrenheit format for windchill global tempf break #operation completed, move to close else: print('Incorrect format, please try again') print ('Temperature in {0} is {1} .'.format(unit, temp)) #Prints results from while loop if windchill is True: print ('For the wind chill, please enter the average wind speed in mph') raw = input(' > ') wind = int(raw.strip('mph ')) #in here to force last user input to a float number, also wind is used in windchill calulation chill = 35.74 + (.6215 * tempf) - 35.75(wind**.16) + .4275 * tempf(wind**.16) #formula for wind chill print ('The windchill for {0} degrees {1} at {2} mph is {3}'.format(temp, unit, wind, chill)) [/code] -- -Matthew Speltz _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
