Re: Why does my compiler say invalid syntax then highlight...?

[Wubbulous]

I may have your problem:

 if prime < 0:
 primes.append(x)
 else:
 print x, "is not prime. " # highlights the final
"

you have to separate each output with a comma, so try adding one after
x.

Hey there,
I've had to do the same things for a program that I'm writing. The
following command should do the trick:

os.startfile("yourfilehere")

from the os module. Hope this helps!

Re: Are .pyc files portable?

[Wubbulous]

Python compiles to bytecode, which means that pyc files can be
interpreted by any Python executable regardless of platform.

As for manual compilation to directories, the py_compile module is the
one you want. Here's an example program to plug in.

#test_compile.py#

import py_compile

print "hello"
py_compile.compile("test_compile.py", "C:\test_compile.pyc")


The manual page for py_compile.compile() can be found on this page:
http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-pycompile.html

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Wubbulous

Re: Are .pyc files portable?

[Wubbulous]

Yes, apologies, I overlooked that detail. If using a different version
of the binary, (i.e. 3.0 vs 2.6) you will have to re-compile the
source code.
