self_taught's Issues

Import module1 not hello?

In the book, you say to create a new file called "module1.py" and import it into a 2nd file called "module2.py", but the code says to "import hello" not "import module1". That could lead to confusion.

Error when running code

http://tinyurl.com/go9wepf

I get this error when running the code.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure if this is an issue with my computer

Hello World! I'm new here!
I have the following issue...
When i put the following

This on my end...

it doesn't display the 100
no results

The book shows this...

At the end it supposed to display 100
Please advise.

"print" command missing?

I believe that you forgot to put the "print" in front of the "fruit" list. If I type it like the book shows and ran it, no result....if I ad the "print" command, it works.

edit** nevermind, I realize that you just type straight in the shell....Sorry.

Port is not an integer when it really is

I copied the code just as it says for the website that says "Hello, World!", with
app.run(port='8000')
but it says:

Webscraping Code Outputted Nothing to Shell

I am really excited about the potential of webscraping! But when I ran the webscraping code from chapter 20, it output nothing to the interactive shell. When I pressed run, the interactive shell window came to the foreground, but there was nothing in it.

In case I had mistyped the code, I decided to copy and paste right from tinyurl. Still nothing.

Please help.

Webscraper certificate error

I recently tried creating the webscraper and found that the code gave me a ssl:certificate_verify_failed. Is there a way around this? Is there something I missed when I was coding?

exception handling

numb1= input("give me a number: ")
numb2=input("give me another number: ")

numb1=int(numb1)
numb2=int(numb2)
try:
print(numb1/numb2)
except (ZeroDivisionError, ValueError):
print("invalid input")

#still failing when strings are entered as input, dont know why. help

Chapter 3

Hello,

nice ebook, recently buyed on Amazon-Kindle.

Where is chapter 3 ??

Regards

csv writing

I input the following code from http://tinyurl.com/go8wepf:

import csv
with open("st.csv", "w") as f:
    write = csv.writer(f, delimiter=",")
    write.writerow(["one",
                    "two",
                    "three"])
    write.writerow(["four",
                    "five",
                    "six"])

When I open the st.csv file in Microsoft Excel, one, two and three appear as they should on row 1, but four, five and six appear on row 3, not row 2.

This also happened when I first used the code in the example from the book (Kindle location 3107) that used the syntax w.writerow(["one", . . . etc. instead of the above syntax.

As I barely have a grasp of what I'm coding here, I'm not sure why the output file differs in its description from the book.

Not trying to be a pain, just trying to understand what I'm learning.

Chapter 5, page 72 (paperback)

When I try using this code from the book:

colors = ["purple", "orange", "green"]
guess = input("Guess a color:")
if guess in colors:
print("You guessed correctly!")
else:
print("Wrong! Try again.")

I then run the code and try guessing white to see my message for when it is wrong (although this is also happening when I guess a color that is in the list) I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 2, in
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'white' is not defined

Am I doing something wrong? I typed it in just as it is written in the book.

length of a diagonal

Constants and Variables

I type in the examples on page 20-21 and I am not getting the output when I run the module. What am I doing wrong?

ex.

Chapter 4 exception handling... error

I tried running this code and I think I am not supposed to get the error instead it
prints "b can not be zero". This is the code:
a=input("type a number:")
b=input("type anothernumber")
a=int (a)
b=int(b)
try:
print (a/b)
except ZeroDivsionError:
print("b cannot be zero.")

Syntax error while using result while using Python 3.7.0a4 shell

After naming and defining function, python is not taking result line. The error is attached. Lines look like this

def f(x):
return x * 2
result = f(2)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Single quotes vs. double quotes

I think that in the python_ex17.py file instead of:

"Hello, World!"

should be:

'Hello, World!'

Please guide me

n=8
count = 0

for i in range(n):
for j in range(n):
for k in range(n):
if i < j and j < k:
count += 1

print(count)

output
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

Code on page 67 doesn't work

Hey there,

I'm learning on Pythong 3.9.2 and in the self-taught programmer book from 2022 the code on the bottom of page 67 does trigger the question about age but it doesn't print the result. Here is the code:

age = input ("Enter your age:")
int_age = int(age)
if int_age <21:
print ("Dude you're young")
else:
print ("Just the right age")

I tried a couple of times and even taking the second line out or replacing in line 3 int_age with int(age) but still nothing. I would greatly appreciate any help :)

Invalid syntax error

Running into an issue on: https://github.com/calthoff/self_taught/blob/master/python_ex74.py
where after I type in 'if x % 2 == 0:' I get a syntax error. When I copy and paste, all the code, I get an error saying 'SyntaxError: invalid syntax' and the if from that line is highlighted. The only way I can get that line to work is by copying and pasting just that line. Any idea why this is happening?

Chapter 12 Rectangle class

class Rectangle():

self.width = w
self.len = l

def area(self):
    return self.width * self.len

def change_size(self, w, l):

    self.len = l

rectangle = Rectangle(10, 20)

while-loops with format method...

Hi there,
The while-loop example given executes fine without the format method, I was hoping for some explanation as to why you used the format method here instead of just print(x)? When I use print(x) it returns the same result.

http://tinyurl.com/j2gwlcy

x = 10
while x > 0:
print('{}'.format(x))
x -= 1
print("Happy New Year!")

Thanks- Sam

IDLE not working

I have just started lists. The following lines when written and ran no output is generated in shell
fruit = list()
fruit
Expected result

[ ]
Actual result

page 13 typo

You probably already know this and not sure if I should bring this to your attention...
You have a hash character caught up in an <a> tag on page 13. Screen shot here.

Thanks for your work. I appreciate the book.

Example keeps asking me to save even after I save...

``x = 100
if x == 10:
print("10!")
elif x == 20:
print("20!")
else:
print("I don’t know!")

if x == 100:
print("x is 100!")

if x % 2 == 0:
print("x is even!")
else:
print("x is odd!")

When I use the F5 key to run(in the test editor), I keep getting a message to save. This doesn't happen with other code, just this particular one. Update- I retyped the code myself and it worked fine. I tried repeatedly to be able to save the code above using copy and paste, but for some reason it would not save it.

Chapter 19, Installing Git

I installed Git via their website (Windows version). However, typing "git" into Bash continues to tell me git is not installed, although it clearly is and I can run it.

I think the problem I'm experiencing has to do with where bash is installed on my computer. I can't find it so I don't know what part of my PC's directory tree I'm in. I'm completely lost here because I don't know what directory I have to be in to, e.g., download packages as in Chapter 18, or, clone repositories as in Chapter 19.

Console prints 4 instead of nothing

This example says that the console doesn't print anything. But if I input

f(2)

into the console, it prints 4. I'm not understanding what I'm doing differently if the console shouldn't be returning a result.

Kindle Edition, Pg 21, python_ex28.py Inquiry...

I realized the format and what you are doing in terms of output. I was unable to delete this question. Please delete it, I figured it out.

NameError: name 'wrong' is not defined

When the program reads:

while wrong < len(stages) - 1:

I am getting an error code, saying that the variable 'wrong' is undefined.

Page 20 of book.

In page 20 of my copy of TSTP line 5 of this code is written:
5print("Hello, World!")
It's just an example, but you may have wanted to know.

No output

Attempting to do the python_ex8.py

in the beginning of the book. It is the example of a "good comment" where the command is supposed to give the diagonal of a rectangle. I have tried typing it, copying it, and saving it and running the module but no matter what I do the command gives me no output. It just produces "RESTART: C:/Users/Censoredfoldername/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python36-32/b" and then a new line of >>>

I am getting the same issue with python_ex27.py

I do

b = 100
b

and after running the module I receive no output. If I then enter B alone I will be given the value of 100. So the module gives the information but for some reason the value of b in the module does not prompt it to produce 100. I have to ask for B separate from the module.

Conditional Statements Chpt 3

I recently purchased your book, I'm currently attempting to complete the if-else statements. The first example after I complete the line print ("Hello, America!") the next line of "else:) indents to the same spot as the word print and I get syntax errors if i erase the indentation or if I leave it. Seems like it doesn't start a new line. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

home = "America"
if home == "America":
print ("Hello, America.")
else:
print ("Hello, World.")

Issue with python_ex100.py

When copying this into IDLE and/or PowerShell with Python I get an error stating that int_age is not defined. What might be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

Just bought book, first day of programming. "Hello World" worked fine, but every time I type something more complex, I get the "SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement". Have tried copying and pasting from website and still get this error. Please help.

home = "America"
if home == "America":
print("Hello, America!")
else:
print("Hello, World!")
