I've recently learned that python doesn't have the switch/case statement. I've been reading about using dictionaries in its stead, like this for example: values = { value1: do_some_stuff1, value2: do_some_stuff2, valueN: do_some_stuffN, } values.get(var, do_default_stuff)() What I can't figure out is how to apply thi...

Complex question I assume, but studying OWL opened a new perspective to live, the universe and everything. I'm going philosophical here. I am trying to achieve a class C which is subclass of B which in turn is subclass of C. Just for fun, you know... So here it is >>> class A(object): pass ... >>> class B(A): pass ... >>> class C(B)...

The windows and buttons appear just fine, however I'm not seeing either the canvas image or canvas lines. I'd appreciate some help to figure ou...

Thanks, --Steve ...
Has anyone written the GNU cat command in python and would be willing to share? GNU cat actually does quite a bit & I don't really feel like re-inventing the wheel today. Yes, I did do a google search & and after reading too many sad stories of kittens vs snakes I decided to try SO. Edit: I'd like to modify it so that it only shows un...
