Introduction

Decided to play around with python for a bit. I saw anish's 8ball in perl and I thought I would do one in python.

I just started python today so if you want to tell me what I could improve with it that would be great.

*****
Need python 2.6 for this to work.
Save this file to filename.py where filename is a name of your choice
then run it with python filename.py

Grab the Code

#! /usr/bin/env python
import sys,re,random
 
while True:
      x = raw_input("Please ask a question: ")
      n = random.randint(1, 7) 
      if re.match("^exit$|^close$", x):
            print "GoodBye!"
            sys.exit()
      elif n == 1:
            print "The answer lies in your heart"
      elif n == 2:
            print "I do not know"
      elif n == 3:
            print "Almost certainly"
      elif n == 4:
            print "No"
      elif n == 5:
            print "Why do you need to ask?"
      elif n == 6:
            print "Go away. I do not wish to answer at this time."
      elif n == 7:
            print "Time will only tell"

RePod, i would not say that. This is some really messy code! If this was in a program I think I would cry...

#! /usr/bin/env python

1. ^ Weird way to do that.
2. Indention is wacko! Very strange.
3. Not commented very good (for those of them who care [not me])

Not commenting doesn't make something messy, it's a simple set of if statements, pretty self-explanatory...

I don't do python, so this is a wild stab in the dark really, doesn't the while loop need a closing statement, the languages i use all have them, but like i said, i don't do python...hsss.. 8-)

Python is so wonderful it doesn't need a closing statement.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import random
 
x = raw_input("Please ask a question: ")
n = random.randint(1, 7)
if n == (1):
   print("The answer lies in your heart")
elif n == (2):
     print("I do not know")
elif n == (3):
     print("Almost certainly")
elif n == (4):
     print("No")
elif n == (5):
     print ("Why do you need to ask?")
elif n == (6):
     print("Go away. I do not wish to answer at this time.")
elif n == (7):
     print("Time will only tell")


^ cleaner simpler and more standard way of doing it.
