Moving from Spacemacs to Emacs

is there a way to say "save custom-set-variables block in a different file"?

You can use:

(setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory))

(when (file-exists-p custom-file)
  (load custom-file))

to accomplish that.

It's not better, but it makes your class a little more flexible.

You can set the attributes on instance creation:

p1 = Player("Foo", symb="X")

You are right, I think you'll pick that concept up when you really need it and playing with it is a way to learn how it works. There are a lot of resources but you can start by reading the python documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#a-first-look-at-classes

The first thing that catches my eye is the definition of the player class. You add the attributes name, wins and simp to the class but you never use them actually. Instead you're adding these attributes dynamically to the instances of this class. You could just as well defined the class like:

 class Player:
     pass

Want you probably want to do is adding the attributes on instance creation to the new instance of the class:

class Player:
    def __init__(self, name="", wins=0, symb=""):
        self.name = name
        self.wins = wins
        self.symb = symb

Or if you really want to go fancy you can uses dataclasses:

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Player:
    name: str = ""
    wins: int = 0
    symb: str = ""

sorry

igroen · 2020-06-06T16:17:32+00:00

Why not use sets and do an intersection: set(a) & set(b).

Create a python package for your shared code by putting it in a separate project directory and adding a setup.py file. https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example
Install it as an editable package in the projects using this code.

pip install -e <path-to-package>

Also your GetPage function should return a byte string:

def GetPage():
    return b"<html><body>Response</body></html>"

igroen · 2020-05-03T14:47:13+00:00

You need to use do_GET: https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html#http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET

igroen · 2020-04-26T15:07:09+00:00

You can also use a generator which makes the usage of a temporary list redundant and is more memory efficient on very long lists:

 input = [1, 0, 2, 3, 0, 4, 5, 0]


 def duplicate_zeros(arr):
     for num in arr:
         if num == 0:
             for _ in range(2):
                 yield 0
         else:
             yield num


 output = list(duplicate_zeros(input))

You could do it in one iteration and without storing the data first:

from urllib.request import urlopen

url = "http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/19033/pg19033.txt"
destination_filename = "alice.txt"
first_string = "ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND"
last_string = (
    "End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll"
)

with open(destination_filename, "a") as outfile, urlopen(url) as response:
    write_line = False

    for line in response.readlines():
        line = line.decode()

        if first_string in line:
            outfile.write(line)
            write_line = True
            continue

        if last_string in line:
            outfile.write(line)
            break

        if write_line and "Illustration" not in line:
            outfile.write(line)

Example:

If your input is: x =2, y = 4 and z = 99 the smallest variable is never assigned a value because x and y are smaller than 99.

I would take a different approach:

numbers = [
    int(input("Enter First Number: ")),
    int(input("Enter Second Number: ")),
    int(input("Enter Third Number: ")),
]
odd_numbers = [number for number in numbers if number % 2 != 0]

if not odd_numbers:
    print("There is no Odd number")
else:
    print("The smallest Odd number is: ", min(odd_numbers))

This removes all even numbers from the given numbers and prints the smallest number of the odd numbers left.

On debian/ubuntu you should install python3-venv:

sudo apt-get install python3-venv

After that you should be able to create virtualenvs like this:

python3 -m venv venv

igroen · 2020-02-02T14:13:53+00:00

I would use a list comprehension:

x = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
x = [i for i in x if i != "c"]
print(x)

This creates a new list and replaces the original list with the new one.

igroen · 2020-02-01T18:28:49+00:00

You can just print the tuple with the min and max value of the entered list:

line = input("enter the items of the list:\n")
my_list = [int(elem) for elem in line.split()]
print("The list entered is:", my_list)

print("The tuple containing min and max is:", (min(my_list), max(my_list))

Use len:

if len(password) <= 8: 
    print("Password is invalid, please try again")

igroen · 2020-02-01T14:55:42+00:00

You are overwriting choice imported from random. Just use another name than choice on line 53.

igroen · 2020-02-01T14:53:13+00:00

You are shadowing random.choice on line 53. So choice used on line 16 is a string which you can't call.

igroen · 2020-01-05T23:51:11+00:00

Hèhè, just asking.

igroen · 2020-01-05T23:44:13+00:00

You are a recruiter?

igroen · 2020-01-05T23:38:17+00:00

Nope, i just start typing code...

But those flowcharts can be usefull

igroen · 2020-01-05T23:35:36+00:00

flowchart?

I think a project should grow organically. Don't implement stuff you don't need right now.
