Maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I'm trying to build a form to display & update information in a object. The objects are stored in an array since I'll have 1-N of them. What I've done now is created an array of dictonaries which hold the information about the form fields, it...

First, I am not even sure this is the right forum for this question, so if anyone wants to switch it to a more appropriate one, I would be grateful. Secondly, the question here is on one specific point of Python from a mathematical point of view. I neither know nor am learning how to program...

Hi people, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my code. My goal is to calculate the average number of stones it takes so that 2 stones become adjascent on a 19x19 goban (the board of the game of go), when we randomly pick an intersection and place a stone on it. The answer should be...

How to make an android app using python on eclipse.

I'm revisiting python, because recently our physics department decided to adopt it as our computational language, and I missed the class. I've also been given the impression that it's a very good language for algorithms and what-not. According to...

In c I quite often build header files with a bunch of predefined data. Fill it with structures or what not. Then to include that information in my program its a simple #include "myHeader.h" Is there a way I can do this in python? I've created another file "myHeader.py" Have put in some code to...

I very new to python and this might look relatively easy to some of you. I need to write a code so that H(a,u) = \frac{a}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{e^{-y^2}}{a^2+(u-y)^2}dy it plots the above function for different values of the a parameter, so that ultimately i will have a graph of...
