The code then parses and combines certain words together, depending on a set of criteria, storing them in a new list. The master loop, which is taking ...

Here's a code sample: import gtk, gobject files = ["C:/images/test1.jpg", "C:/images/test2.jpg", "C:/images/test3.jpg"] win = gtk.Window() win.set_title("Slideshow") ...

But I ran across this error: >>> import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET >>> from io import StringIO >>> source = """\ ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-...

The URL url.dev/basics/pythonscript fetches the static file /pythonscript.py The browser...
