Given that you are not using any libraries, let alone one that does not
run on Python 3, I strongly recommend using the latest version (3.3).
2) It is a list of positive integers. In fact, it is always going to
be a list of positive increasing integers.
Your example below starts with 0, which is not positive.
Perhaps you mean that all integers after a single leading 0 have to be
positive and increasing.
If you run digits together, then the max int is 9. Do you intend this?
4) Yes, sorry that's what I meant (if I understood correctly). I was
told elsewhere that I might want to try using tkinter.
If users start the program at a command line, the core of an input
function would be
input = (raw)input('Enter digits: ') # Include "raw" on 2.x
You would need a more elaborate prompt printed first, and input checking
with the request repeated if the input does not pass the check.
It would be pretty simple to do the equivalent with a tkinter dialog box.
I'd like to be
able to run send a .exe file that the user can just open up and use
with no further setup.
There are programs that will package your code with an interpreter. But
do give people the option to get just the program without installing a
duplicate interpreter.
So on top of the user interface I would also it looks like need to
determine how to make Python change a string 01112345 into a list so
that it does that automatically when the user clicks 'run'.
>>> list('01112345')
['0', '1', '1', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5']
>>> '0,1,1,1,2,3,4,5'.split(',')
['0', '1', '1', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5']
Would a shebang still be the right way to go?
On Linux, definitely, whether you have user enter on the command line or
in response to a prompt. On windows, it only helps with 3.3+.
