These Python examples follow the convention that each program gets one line longer than the one before it. Please try to maintain this convention. I also try to introduce at least one new feature in each program. Also, please see note at the bottom. | Here are some example simple programs. Please feel free to contribute, but see notice at bottom, please. |

These examples assume version 2.4 or above of Python. You should be able to run them simply by copying/pasting the code into a file and running Python. Or by inserting this line (#!/bin/env python) at the beginning of your file (Unix/Linux), making the file executable (chmod u+x filename.py) and running it (./filename.py). |
