Some test code
by John Parker Feb. 3, 2011

Feb. 3, 2011

All, I have written this test code if (card == "Hearts" or card == "Diamonds"): print "That card is Red" elif (card == "Spades" or card == "Clubs"): print "That card is Black" It seems to work but prior to this code, it looked like this if (card == "Hearts" or card == "Diamonds"): print "That card is Red" elif (card == "Spades" or card == "Clubs") print "That card is Black" Which didn't work. Can someone set me straight because in class The teacher gave an example like this which worked if (favcolor == "Red"): print "Roses are Red" elif (favcolor == "Blue" print "Violets are Blue" So, why did I have to add a second : after my code for spades or clubs? Thanks, John Python newbie

[py-appscript] is System Events sleeping ?
by Fandekasp Feb. 2, 2011

Feb. 2, 2011

Hello, I'm a new user of appscript, and I can't find a way to know when my computer is sleeping or not. with : > from appscript import * app("System Events").sleep() I can force my system to sleep, but what I would like is to know when my system is going to sleep, to launch some routines behind (like programming an alarm to ring after 6 hours). I searched for an argument who could tell me this, but didn't find any. Is it at least possible ? Thank you very much for your help Best regards
