Pyscript does not show any output at all

[zinc]

Hi,

I just installed pyscripter on my window machine. When I type a simple program just to check it out, I there is not output at the bottom of the tool or anywhere else. 

Does anybody know how I can fix it?

I type for example:

x = 2

type(x)

and then I click on "run", it runs, but I get no response.

Even 2 + 2 gets me no response.

Please, help.

[Andy Milne]

Try:

print x

I'm guessing that you might be new to Python as well as PyScripter. If
that is the case, let me recommend Guido's excellent intro:

http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

Enjoy,

Did you do the typing in the Interpreter panel?

Hi,

Thanks for helping. There is something I just found out. I am beginning to think some of these errors might be related to firewall? I was now able to get some output. By the way, my python install is version 3.1. So, print x is rejected right away. I was able to get the right output with Print("x")

Now, two questions for you. Why should I install version 2.7... as opposed to using the 3.1 I have installed?

secondly, 

x = 10

type(x) 

is a good synthax that should tell me that x is of the integer type. But, I am not getting that correct output still. Any suggestions?

I am not sure what panel I should call it. Its the bigger panel on top as you can see from my first post(please help by looking at it). It was not on the small horizontal panel below where the output shows. However, here is what I found after I got home, Hi,

This code on the interpreter panel and result:

>>> x =10

>>> type(x)

<class 'int'>

>>>

The same code on the big panel on top (pyscript - module1 ?)

x = 5

type(x)

When I ran it, i got nothing like above output.

2.7 has more supported libraries. 

if you want x to be an integer then try:

x= int(10)

2 + 3 //gives me no response when I type it on the main screen ( pyscript - module 1 screen?

but I get 5 when I type that on the interpreter screen:

>>> 2 + 3

5

>>>

No, but is that not already understood to be int by python? That's why that code should print out what it is as I showed in my example here:

>>> x =10 #input

>>> type(x) #input

<class 'int'> #output

[Andy Milne]

save your python to a file called say foo.py

now run foo.py:

python foo.py

See that running the code in pyscripter is just like running your python file. It'll output what you tell it to output.

The python interpreter does something different. It evaluates your python and prints the evaluation - almost as if it is inserting a print statement for you (more or less) on each line.

I never try to second guess what underlying type python uses. Python uses the duck mentality: If foo quacks like a duck then treat it like a duck, but don't expect type(foo)==duck to evaluate to True

type(x) is just a function that returns the type of x. There is no output from that function. If you want python to output stuff then use print. If you want to see what type x is in pyscripter then put a break point on the type(x) line, launch the program using "shift+F9" and then look at the  variables tab.

Print("x") => print("x")  ?

The Interpreter panel is one of the panels selectable at the bottom of the screen.

You are using Python 3.1 I believe.   If so, print is a function, not a statement, as it was in Python 2.

Thus, use print (object to be printed), for example print('now is the time")

Colin W.

[zinc]

That works for the interpreter panel. I think I'm figuring out what's going on with this thing. The main panel seems to hate those same print statement for some reason. I guess because of __main() thing? I think I'm going to uninstall 3.1 anyway. Most of the tutorials online seems to be using 2.7.4 or 5 or so.

[zinc]

works, but with mixed result. Ok if I do that on main screen without the __main() being there. Otherwise, it complains.

[Colin J. Williams]

Zinc,

In Python 3.1, you shouldn't be thinking of a print statement, it has become a function.  This has nothing to do with any __main() thing.

Better to go to with Python 3.3 and learn the language, it's only slightly different from Python 2, it's the future.

Colin W.

[Colin J. Williams]

Zinc,

The main screen is for the program you are composing.  Enter your statements there, save them and then press F9 to execute them,

The result should appear in the interpreter panel.

Colin W.

[kevotheclone]

zinc, try writing your code in the main() function and use the print function to output your results:

 

#!/usr/bin/env python

 

def main():

    x = 5

    print(type(5))

 

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

Looks OK to me:

*** Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. ***

Try using  print() method 

x = 2

    type(x)

print(x)

#also use print() to display the output of 2+2

 print(2+2)

[Colin J. Williams]

Jennifer,

The Interpreter box is probably best used for the sort of experimenting you are doing.

Storing a small module and then executing it is the longer way.
