How to run an external script in Python

-

 

Python offers a subprocess module for you to run external script, which is more flexible than its os.system() function. It provides more powerful facilities for spawning new processes and retrieving their results.

For instance,

import subprocess

subprocess.run(["ls", "-l"])

or for versions before Python 3.5, use the following:

import subprocess

subprocess.call(["ls", "-l"])

How to check if a string contains a substring in Python

-

 In python, in operator will do the trick. >>> 'is' in 'What is this!' >>> True or you could use string method s.find() >>> s = 'What is this!' >>> s.find('is') >>> 5 >>> s.find('was') >>> -1 If find()  found the substring, it returns the index where the substring first appears. Otherwise it returns -1. Under the hood, python will use __contains__(self, item), __iter__(self), and __getitem__(self, key) in that order to determine whether a substring is in a string.

How to use Python conditional expression?(Python Conditional Expression)

  The Python conditional expression is kinda like the ternary operator in other programming languages ( condition ? a : b ). Syntax: a if condition else b If condition evaluated to True, a is evaluated and returned, otherwise b is evaluated and returned. For instance, a = 1 b = 2 x = a if a < 0 else b In this case, if a < 0, x will be assigned with the value of a, however this is not the case, so the value of b is assigned to x. So x is 2 instead.

Those two files need to be placed inside the same folder as the pictures below. Three pictures are all 20x20 pixels and need to be placed in the same folder as the source code. # box_pusher.py import pygame , sys from pygame.locals import * from box_pusher_game_level import game_level SCREEN_WIDTH = 640 SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480 BOARD_WIDTH = 20 BOARD_HEIGHT = 16 CELL_SIZE = 20 FPS = 30 START_POS = ( 119 , 79 ) # color preset WHITE = ( 255 , 255 , 255 ) BLACK = ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) RED = ( 255 , 0 , 0 ) GREEN = ( 0 , 255 , 0 ) BLUE = ( 0 , 0 , 155 ) # game level dictionary # 'B' represent bricks # 'M' represent marks # 'O' represent boxes # 'P' represent player ##game_level = { ## 1: ( ## '......................
