Here's what I'm trying to do. We are running a numbers game at our retirement village and using a roulette wheel to generate the numbers. but this wheel is only about 12 in diameter and is little more than a toy. So we came up with the idea of using a random number generator to generate numbers from 0 to 36 and display them in large figures on my laptop. This is for the benefit of those people who are hard of hearing. They like to see what is happening. I was an RPG programmer before retirement but am new to Python. So I used the following code to generate the numbers but I don't know how to display them in large figures (about 3 ins high) or get rid of the idle text.
from random import randint rand = randint(0,36) print rand my os = XP Can you help? Adam. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
