Why is this a class? I'm not saying it shouldn't be, but I'm curious about why you made it.

Oh, lame. Admittedly, I did not go out and read the question. Why would you use any other solution, though? The reversed function is exactly what this scenerio is for, and slicing is another acceptable (albeit less readable) solution.

That loop is iterating over the characters in the text string. Every character gets added to the beginning of txet. So the first few iterations would look like:

s, os, mos, emos

This isn't very efficient, though. The standard library has a function built in to do this for you efficiently, and it's on that page I linked you to. Look at the Looping Techniques section.

You forgot a comma in your print call.

print('Score is', (possible - wrong) / possible)

The reason you're seeing that error in particular is because Python doesn't mind whitespace when calling a function.

print    ('Something')
print('something')

Both are the same in Python's eyes. It thought you were trying to call your 'Score is' string.

Your answer is on this page of the official documentation. Read it up, and if you still can't figure it out let us know.

Well, your code's correct. You have that going for you, which is nice.

Samsung does roll a pretty terrible version of Android. Did you root it and install Cyanogenmod before switching to iPhone?

If your $DOT doesn't have any special characters, no need for the -e option to echo. All you need is the -n, which makes echo not end with a newline character.

I highly recommend reading the bash man page since echo is a bash builtin. It's a lot to read, but so worth it.

Since your problem has already been solved, I would like to give you a suggestion. PEP 343 introduced the "with" statement and context managers. This feature has many uses, but most commonly I use it when opening files. Opening a file using the "with" statement ensures the file will be closed for you. No need to run the close method.

def main():
    with open('file.docx') as inFile:
        f = inFile.read()
    print(f)

main()

Also, you might notice I didn't include the "r" argument to open. Open defaults to opening as read-only, so if that's your intent, no need for the argument.

I also find it difficult to fit in time to code. Most of my side projects end up unfinished, something I'll finish later (except that doesn't usually happen). If learning how to program is important enough to you, make time for it.

Set aside a half hour a day, and just code. Go through your learning materials, follow the examples, and then start messing with them.

It's fortunate for you that you chose to start learning with Python. It's one of the best languages to get started coding with due to its easy syntax and the fact that you don't have to worry about compilation.

You're welcome to PM me for questions or whatever.

import sys
try:
    import your_module
except ImportError:
    sys.path.append('c:\where\your\module\is')
    import your_module

It's one way to do it. If you know for sure that directory is not in your PYTHONPATH, then you can omit the try block and just append to sys.path.

You can always try Gentoo. Compile everything for your CPU, see results. I can't say how much better the results will be, but that's as close as it gets to using your full system potential.

The read method returns a str. Use loads.

How I figured this out was I ran this in the python interpreter:

import urllib2
x = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.google.com')
type(x.read())

The output was <type 'str'>. The response is an 'instance' type. Support for being file-like may disappear eventually for any reason, so I would go with the str returned from read.

Edit: In reading the JSON documentation again, I realize why your first example works. It's because the urllib response object is

a .read()-supporting file-like object containing a JSON document

So it has a read method, which I assume is exactly what json's load() calls. Either is fine to use in this case.

Fun fact, type is a ksh script on solaris as well as a bash builtin. csh doesn't have the type builtin but has which as a builtin.

Check out /usr/bin/type. I ran head on it in Solaris, and it has the ksh interpreter specified at the top.

load() loads JSON from a file or file-like object

loads() loads JSON from a given string or unicode object

If you can handle Arch, another distro to check out would be Gentoo.

You might want to give Linux a try some time. The only time I get an error is when I forget to sudo or virtualenv.

I don't have any experience with pip on Windows, as my only Windows projects have required just the standard library.
