@lpl your negotiation skills seem to be somewhat lacking. Do you think your <Flames> will help or hinder the case for including pandas

FYI: THERE ARE AN EVER GROWING NUMBER OF USERS WHO LOVE PYTHONISTA
and @omz for keeping it alive and ever more functional.

.... love your blog comments.

Presumably someone sad thought they were clever writing a python script to Spam this forum.
Well done you’ve proved you can do it...

Otherwise I would appreciate if someone else with admin rights wrote a script to expunge these posts.
I’ll keep flagging them for moderation in the interim.

@omz ??

I have tried searching the manual for a simple action...

I want to store variables in an array, I found and implemented many ways of doing this
Creating the array
variablesarray=[]
Creating the first elements is easy with variablesarray.append(list)

I can even read them back with variablesarray[x][y]

But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change an element in the array

In my old basic world it was very simple variablesarray[x][y]=newvalue

How can I achieve this simple variable change in Python, what am I missing.

I am confident it will be something simple... but I have yet to discover it.

Pointers gratefully received...

@JonB
Spotted your pointer to the GitHub humberry UI Tutorial, excitedly skipped over to GitHub
As I really do want to “get” using pyui’s....
Aargh! New Brick Walls!

It may sound simple but how do I get a GitHub resident PYUI file to my iPad.
You cannot imagine what I have tried so far, including forking the Tutorial!

Yours incompetently

Well restart fixed it.... for now! Something funky going on....

@omz Having downloaded the beta, the Calculator example now bombs with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

(I xxxxxx’d out a part of my iPad I’d, I am that paranoid!)

I tried copying the calculator.pyui file from my non upgraded iPhone into my iPad in case I had corrupted the pyui file, I got the same error.

In my own very simple coding activities I have yet to bump into a beta error.

I posted here as I cannot find instructions on how to report beta problems. sorry...

OMG why did I try a read the manual, I found a part in the manual that showed me that *100 would not work!?

And yet it all did!

a=[0]*100
print(a)
a[10]=1
print(a)
a[10]=a[10]+1
print(a)
b=['']*100
print(b)
b[10]='test'
print(b)
b[10]=b[10]+'again'
print(b)

Btw I wasn’t trying to do a sort that was just a historical side comment, but thanks for the pointer, stored for future reference.

I wish to create a blank array of 100 elements
Where blank is either Integer 0 or Empty string ‘“” (two different use cases)
Then I wish to write to specific elements in the array
Either replacing the elements or adding/appending to them
Having read and re read the documents

I have not been able fathom how to accomplish these tasks.
I recall in Algol that this was a trivial task, it was how I ”cheated” doing a sort task,
According to my professor in doing a sort. He wanted a bubble sort.
I simply wrote the numbers into an array where n= array element, and then read them out

How!? In Python?

Is a command missing from the documentation?

@JonB have finally sussed the some of the mysteryies of Stash, not least how to run it!
How would I have discovered the existence of the -la extension to ls without your kind help?
I have tried ‘man ls’ with no joy...

@JonB you are just amazing Thankyou!

So more, properly any ideas on changing a character to an image?
