For example \b backspace prints as quad (shown as [] in example below). But \n newline is Ok. >>> print 'abc\bd' abc[]d >>> print 'abc\nd' abc d Im running under Vista (pro), python 2.7 Ive tried googling this issue generally and in SO and cant find anything relevant, which seems odd and makes me wonder if theres some setting or other may be wrong in my setup. Not sure what to look for. What am I doing wrong or what should I be looking for? Is it reasonable to expect backspace, specifically, to work? No, IDLE does not support backspace, nor carriage-return, nor formfeed, nor ANSI escape

I’m using the Windows version of Python 2.7 with IDLE. If I run the following code import os os.getcwd() through IDLE (Run module F5), I get no output in the Python shell. If I double-click on test.py in Explorer, however, the current working directory is displayed. If I do a print command in IDLE, it shows up. Why doesn’t os.getcwd() have any output in IDLE, while print does? When you call a function, that function may return a value, and in this case os.getcwd() returns a string. Here, you never do anything to that string, so nothing happens - there's no output because you never print the

Importing a whole package works in IDLE, but not in shell. The following works fine in IDLE: import tkinter as tk tk.filedialog.askopenfilename() In shell, I get this error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'filedialog' I understand that I have to import tkinter.filedialog to make this work in shell. Why the difference between IDLE and shell? How can I make IDLE act like shell? It can be frustrating to have a script working in IDLE, and failing in shell. I am using Python 3.4. This is an IDLE bug which I fixed for future 3.5.3 and 3.6.0a4 releases. Tracker issue. For an

At the IDLE interpreter I do the following with dpkt: for ts, buf in pcap: eth = dpkt.ethernet.Ethernet(buf) Now, when I try to see the contents of 'eth' I can either print it, or just write the variable name. When I do: print eth I get: O&áÿE(r @,òÀ¨ DYP?Jò}PªpÉ However, when I simply write: eth I get the more expected output of: Ethernet(src='<removed>', dst='<removed>', data=IP(src='<removed>', off=16384, dst='<removed>', sum=11506, len=40, p=6, ttl=128, id=29344, data=TCP(seq=2527752393, ack=218580057, win=16202, sum=62077, flags=16, dport=80, sport=51626))) So my question is, what's the

I am not that really new in Programming but in Python I am really a newbie, and so when I started learning Python from the tutorials they encouraged me to use the IDLE editor for Python. And so as a newbie I had this weird Hello World problem. as you can see i use Python 2.6.6 in Linux(CentOS 6.2) and I tried almost all the possible syntaxes printing the simple HELLOWORLD provided in the documentation of python 2.6 and the new python 3 I tried printing contants like this print 1 + 1 and it work with an output >>> 2 I want to know how can i print this simple HELLOWORLD Jakub Hampl Check to make

I'm trying to figure out how to successfully use Python 2.7.1 on windows 7. So far, I'm having to use the shell (IDLE) to create scripts and then run them from the cmd prompt. I feel this is slowing down the learning process and I was wondering if there was a way to run it from IDLE (I'm not able to create a pathway, so whenever i try to open or import a file i get an error) or some other program/text editor perhaps? Any help would be appreciated! I'm probably just doing something wrong. Run IDLE. You will be presented with the "Python Shell" window and a >>> prompt. Click File, New Window.
