string-formatting

I create a Datetime object with Datetime.Now and I have this as a property of a class. When I bind this to a grid view: <GridViewColumn Header="Date" Width="120" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding transaction_date1, StringFormat=HH:mm}" /> The result is always 00:00. When I debug the code I see that the hour, minute etc. properties of the Datetime object contain non-zero values. I think that the StringFormat in this case gets the hour and minute from the Date object within the Datetime object that has the correct dates but always has 12:00:00 AM as hour. Is there any way to go past it and display

I've read through a number of the python whitespace removal questions and answers but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Here is a small program that shows a specific example of the issue. I greatly appreciate your help. import random math_score = random.randint(200,800) math_guess = int(input("\n\nWhat score do you think you earned on the math section (200 to 800)?\t")) print ("\n\n\nOn the math section, you guessed",math_guess,", and your actual score was",math_score,"!") So here's my issue: When I execute the program, I get the following results: On the math section, you

I am loving the new format option for strings containing variables, but I would like to have a variable that sets the precision through out my script and I am not sure how to do that. Let me give a small example: a = 1.23456789 out_str = 'a = {0:.3f}'.format(a) print(out_str) Now this is what I would want to do in pseudo code: a = 1.23456789 some_precision = 5 out_str = 'a = {0:.(some_precision)f}'.format(a) print(out_str) but I am not sure, if it is possibly and if it is possibly how the syntax would look like. You can nest placeholders, where the nested placeholders can be used anywhere in

I'd like to create a __str__ method that creates the string in various formats according to user choice. The best I have come up with is to make a __str__(**kwargs) method, and this seems to work ok, but it isn't compatible with str(obj) or print(obj) . In other words I have to use print(obj.__str__(style='pretty')) rather than print(obj, style='pretty') . Implement the object.__format__() method instead, and a user can then specify the formatting required with the format() function and str.format() method : print(format(obj, 'pretty')) or print('This object is pretty: {:pretty}'.format(obj))

I have a TextBox in a WPF window bound to a dependency property of the window of type double (see below). Whenever the user types in the TextBox when The TextBox is empty, or All of the text is selected, the typed text is accepted incorrectly. For example: If I type a '5' in either of these scenarios, the resulting text is "$5.00", but the caret is located before the '5', after the '$'. If I try to type "52.1", I get "$2.15.00". <Window x:Class="WPF.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title=

I am new to Python and I am struggling with printing multiple nested dictionaries in one table separated by tab. I wrote a script to read data from an input file and store the data in 3 different dictionaries: d1 = {'Ben': {'Skill': 'true', 'Magic': 'false'}, 'Tom': {'Skill': 'true', 'Magic': 'true'}} d2 = {'Ben': {'Strength': 'wo_mana', 'Int': 'wi_mana', 'Speed': 'wo_mana'}, 'Tom': {'Int': 'wi_mana', 'Agility': 'wo_mana'}} d3 = {'Ben': {'Strength': '1.10', 'Int': '1.20', 'Speed': '1.50'}, 'Tom': {'Int': '1.40', 'Agility': '1.60'}} I want to represent the data in a table format and when opened
