Python tutorials
by Oscar Chavez Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Most tutorials' examples are based in operations with strings and text in general. Are there any Python tutorials that stress its math capabilities? In particular, I have noticed that there is a limit on the integers that Python can handle, but I don't know exactly to what extent this can be modified. I would like to do operations with matrices, factoring integers and floating point operations. Where should I look for help on these matters? _____________________________________________________________________ Oscar Chavez You can only find truth with logic if Mathematics Education you have already found truth without it. 104 Stewart Hall University of Missouri The Man who was Orthodox Columbia, MO 65211-6180 G.

Python totorial problems.....
by Daniel W Wobker Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Hello, I am using the Python Tutorial Release 1.5.2 When I get to page 9 chapter 3 it tells me to type in in interactive mode >>> tax = 17.5 / 100 >>> price = 3.50 >>> price * tax which should return 0.6125 and it dose but the problem is when it tells me to type in: >>> price + _ I get an error message..... here is the hole thing... >>> tax = 17.5 / 100 >>> price = 3.50 >>> price * tax 0.6125 >>> price + _ Traceback (innermost last): File "<interactive input>", line 0, in ? NameError: _ >>> round(_,2) Traceback (innermost last): File "<interactive input>", line 0, in ? NameError: _ >>> I am using Windows95 and PythonWin build 125 and Python5. has there been a change sence the totorial has been built or is there somthing I have done wrong or is someone else getting the same problem..? thanks in advance Daniel W.

> and it dose but the problem is when it tells me to type in: > >>> price + _ > I get an error message..... here is the hole thing... What version of Python do you have, it works for me with Python 1.5.2 But OTOH I was not aware of this '_' trick so it might be a recent introduction to Python not supported by your version. [ I learnt Python on v1.3, and am pretty sure this wasn't mentioned anywhere in the docs then... ] Any of the list guru's like to say when this appeared? Alan G. PS Could just be that I just missed seeing it of course! :-)

URLLIB Proxy Question
by Curtis Larsen Jan. 31, 2000

Jan. 31, 2000

I'm new to Python and am trying to get the URLLIB working using an HTTP proxy, but I can't seem to get the magic combination together. I set up a variable named "http_proxy" with the (apparent?) value of "http://servername:port/", but it's still no go. The latest error message I receive is "AssertionError: proxies must be a mapping" A "mapping" what...? Suggestions? Ideas? Thanks in advance!

English pseudocode. *grin* Python is its own language, similar to C++ or Java. It's a higher level language. Take a look at www.python.org for introductions and tutorials.
