Nope, it's not the promotion causing the problem.

Neither. Try changing the "+" and "-" to "+=" and "-=".

please mail me if you can help

Prothon Prototypes vs Python Classes

Here is an example of a Python class with all three types of methods (instance, static, and class methods). # Example from Ch.23, p.381-2 of Learning Python, 2nd ed. class Multi:

IDLE history, Python IDE, and Interactive Python with Vim

About reading Python code

by: WaterWalk | last post by:

Hello. I wonder what's the effective way of figuring out how a piece of python code works. With C I often find it very useful to be able to run the code in step mode and set breakpoints in a debugger so I can watch how the it executes, how the data change and how the code jumps from one function to another. But with Python, the debugger is a little primitive. The default IDLE doesn't even allow me to set a breakpoint. When the code is...
