pyc file problem
by Leo Yee Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

Hi, I am programming a online game program. I use python as my game's script language. To avoid hacking and cheating I don't want anyone to read the python script file and find useful information for hacking the game. I know I can compile the '.py' file to '.pyc' file but I found that a normal text editor can read a lot of information from the '.pyc' file even those comments I wrote. My question is if there is a methond to compile the '.py' file into a state that there are no human readable strings. Thanks in advance. Leo Yee

Printing From Python
by michael＠foord.net Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

I looked through the manual, I looked on the web and could find very little on this subject.... The closest I could find was : http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4549. Saying that printing (to a printer :-) wasn't easy (at least on windows - let alone *cross* platform) - and that was dated 2000. Oh and - http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-September/121462.html from 2002 giving two different methods for Unix and Windows... the windows one doesn't work across our network........ Any 'print' modules out there - that implement cross platform printing interfaces ? Fuzzy -- http://www.Voidspace.org.uk The Place where headspace meets cyberspace.

Printing/updating output to the screen
by Daniel Pryde Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

Hi there. I hope this isn't a stupid question to ask, but does anyone know how to print out a string without moving to a new line each time and simply updating the first line. An example would be, if I wanted to have a percentage progress counter that was constantly updating. I'm unsure how to do this without printing to a brand new line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Daniel

wxNotebook question
by Gandalf Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

How can I hide/show a page (wxNotebookPage) invisible of a wx.wxNotebook instance? There is a GetPage() method which returns a wxNotebookPage but I could not find any documentation in the help about this class. I thought there will be a 'SetVisible' or 'SetTabvisible' method but it seems to be a proxy for the root control on that page. So I cannot even get method names by dir(self.notebook.GetPage(0)). Thanks in advance

conditional expression sought
by Elaine Jackson Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

If bool(B_i)==True for 1<=i<=n and j is the smallest i with bool(A_j)==True, then the evaluation of (A_1 and B_1) or ... or (A_n and B_n) returns B_j without evaluating any other B_i. This is such a useful mode of expression that I would like to be able to use something similar even when there is an i with bool(B_i)==False. The only thing I can think of by myself is ( (A_1 and [B_1]) or ... or (A_n and [B_n]) )[0], and I can't be satisfied with that for obvious reasons. Does anybody know a good way to express this? Any help will be mucho appreciado. Peace
