This is my first pickle in python.

I learned how to pickle a list using the pickle module. This is a neat way to store lists, dictionaries, or just about any python object. This is better than storing in a text file because when you unpickle the data it is restored to its original data type.

Javascript

I found a You tube video that teaches JavaScript, and I used nano to write my code with and Epiphany web browser. It was fun for me. It's not much, but it is a start.

My first class that makes a GUI

#I wrote a class that can be used to create a GUI. It is a start.

from Tkinter import *


class aGUI:

    def __init__(self):
            def hello():
                print('Hello')


            root=Tk()
            btn=Button(root,text='press this', command=hello)
            btn.pack()
            root.mainloop()
           

Some code I wanted to save for work

import arcpy

from arcpy import env

 

#Search Cursor example

parnum = raw_input("Parcel ID ?")

 

env.workspace= "p:/MyData.gdb" #This tells it which GDB to work in.

   

for row in arcpy.SearchCursor("Owners"): #This tell it what feature class to look in.

   

    if row.PID== parnum :

        print "Parcel number:    ",row.PID

        print "Owner name:       ",row.ONAME

        print "Parcel address:   ",row.PADDRESS

        print "Deed book & page: ",row.DBOOKPAGE

 

I created a new GUI for work.

I created a GUI to assist Public Works in calculating Protest Extents.

from Tkinter import *

def exclusion():
    AreaOfSubject=float(AreaSubject.get())
    AreaROWinBuffer=float(AreaROW.get())
    GrossAcresArea=float(GrossAcres.get())
    theProtestArea=float(ProtestArea.get())
    NetAcres=float(GrossAcresArea-(AreaOfSubject+AreaROWinBuffer))
   
    print("Total area of exclusions =  %0.2f " % float(AreaOfSubject+AreaROWinBuffer))
    print("Net Acres = %0.2f "%NetAcres)
    print("Extent of Protest is %0.2f" %float(theProtestArea/NetAcres))
   

root=Tk()

Label(root,text="Gross acres including subject property and ROW").pack()
GrossAcres=Entry(root)
GrossAcres.pack()

Label(root,text="Area of Subject Property").pack()
AreaSubject=Entry(root)
AreaSubject.pack()

Label(root,text="Area of Street ROW").pack()
AreaROW=Entry(root)
AreaROW.pack()

Label(root,text="Area of Protesting Properties").pack()
ProtestArea=Entry(root)
ProtestArea.pack()

btn1=Button(root,text="Protest Extent",command=exclusion)
btn1.pack()

root.mainloop()

My laptop was stolen by a Burglar.

A Burglar broke into my house and stolen my laptop computer.  So, I lost the gas mileage calculator I had written. For practice, I rewrote it (mostly) from memory. (I had to change all my passwords I have on the internet too. Bummer!)

Simple image displayer

I created a very simple image displayer using python's canvas widget. It will only display gif files, so converted a jpeg image with gimp.  I don't know how to make the image fit in the window yet, but I can adjust the canvas size, and what part of the photo is showing on the canvas.
