simple loop question

[Alex Glaros]

I'm trying to write a simple loop in default.py.  What's wrong with this below?  Thanks, Alex Glaros

def new2():

    y=5

    while y > 0:

        response.write='<P>howdy</P>'

        y=y-1

    pass

response.write() is a method, not an attribute (even if it were an attribute, you would be overwriting it repeatedly, not appending to it).

Anthony,

Can you recommend any online tutorials or videos to help someone that doesn't know object oriented programming?

Hopefully something that can be related to web2py so that I would learn that response.write() is a method, not an attribute.

I just started writing an app without knowing oop and don't know how "method" relates to web2py MV or C.

thanks,

Alex

 Hi Alex,

www.programr.com 

has python object-oriented examples

www.coursera.org  has a python course in April.

The mvc approach can be learned by trying the examples in web2py's on-line manual, using the welcome app that comes with the install.  Trying examples yourself is a great way to

learn web2py.
