Re: help - python can't find file
darren, thanks for your explanation. I copied my paths and listed them in my code file #! /bin/user1/ python and python finds the file and interprets it so that will keep me going until my buddy returns to the city to explain my errors. It appears that my problem arose from taking lesson code out of text books and copying the pathing that is I guess slightly different than mine. Thanks ever so much. tk darren kirby wrote: > > quoth the enquiring mind: > > > - but now I get a error message 21 saying file or directory doesn't > > exist. > > You must be in the same directory (in konsole) as the python script for this > to work, else enter the relative path to the file: > > Assuming you are in your home directory (this is where a new konsole will > start you), and the py scripts are in a directory 'pythondir': > > $ cd pythondir > $ python myscript.py > > or: > > $ python pythondir/myscript.py > > You could also chmod the script to be executable and run it as a regular > command ...however...

Pygame Q (linux) beginner
Running 2.4.1 Python (learning) Running SUSE Linux 10 Am learning from a new books that mostly deals with windows python and Pygames called "Game Programming" by Randy Harris (2007) His books references Python 2.4.2 and Pygame 1.7.1 with these comments: "If you are using a Linux machine, you probably won't have the simple installer that came with the windows version. Follow the instructions at http://pygame.org/install. You may have to run a couple of scripts to make everything work, but just follow the directions and you will be fine." Could anybody suggest or make a helpful comment in view of what information I have supplied. At Chapter 5 is where the Pygame module is introduced so I have a little time before I have to figure out what I have to download and install. Thanks very much in advance for any direction.

I only googled pygame and not SUSE. The next post says it is already included so I will ask my programmer buddy to help me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thank you very much. A buddy installed SUSE 10 in Dec. for me so I shall ask him to look for rpm which I understand from your post includes pygame. You have no idea how much I appreciate your information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
beginner - py unicode Q
I read the posting by Rehceb Rotkiv and response but don't know if it
relates to my problem in any way.
I only want to write German to the screen/console for little German
programs/exercises in python. No file w/r will be used.
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Filename: 7P07png.py
# SUSE Linux 10 Python 2.4.1 gedit 2.12.0
print 'Ich zähle zwölf weiß Hüte.'
print 'Wollen Sie'
verbs = ( 'kömmen' , 'essen' , 'trinken' )
print verbs[:3]
print ' program ends '
console display is: Ich zähle zwölf weiß Hüte.
Wollen Sie
('k\xc3\xb6mmen', 'essen', 'trinken')
program ends
The first 2 print statements in German print perfectly to screen/console
but not the 3rd.
I ran it with these lines below from Rehceb Rotkiv's code but it did not
fix problem.
import sys
import codecs
I also tried unicode string u'kömmen', but it did not fix problem.
Any help/direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I found this reference section but I am not sure it applies or how to
use it to solve my problem.:
This built in setdefaultencoding(name) sets the default codec used to
encode and decode Unicode and string objects (normally ascii)and is
meant to be called only from sitecustomize.py at program startup; the
site module them removes this attribute from sys. You can call
reload(sys) to make this attriute available again but this is not a good
programming practice.
I just thought of this. I suppose because this is py source code, it
should not be German but a reference/key to u'strings' to print German
text to the screen?
The ultimate console output I seek, of course, using a while or for loop
and/or random access for second verb, for example:
Wollen Sie kömmen?
Wollen Sie essen?
Wollen Sie trinken?
