Python Program

Hey,
I posted this on /r/ a minute ago, and was redirected here. So...
I've been trying to code, with Python, a program that'd ask the user a password and close if the user gets the password wrong more than twice.
I've checked my version, corrected all the errors and didn't use objects cause I don't know how to use them. But the program won't work.
The program is here: http://pastebin.com/qEJSqCj1

If anyone here could help me in anyway possible, I'd really be glad.

TL;DR: Need help (correcting) on Python program, link is http://pastebin.com/qEJSqCj1

But the program won't work.

You don't need that program, the password is 88888888, you can thank me later.

What's with “all” the crazy “extra characters” on that page?

>>1
You forgot to call your function.

os.system("pause")

Please kill yourself.

>>6
...Why?

>>5
Oh, is that all? Thank you.

>>5
You helped him!!!

>>7
>>6
...Why?Non-portable shit.

>>8
Well I'm kind of a newbie, so I guess it's sufficient. What, is there another function that pauses the program?

>>5
Thanks, it worked.

dont listen to most of these elitist faggots that dont bother helping people

>>4
Set your browser encoding to UTF-8. It should look fine.

while True: pass. Better than calling pause any day.

def pause():
    print("Press enter to continue.", end='')
    input()

>>15
A much better solution would be to switch STDIN to unbuffered mode, wait until any character is input, break and then switch back to buffered mode.

BUFFER MY ANUS

wait until any character is input
THEN WHO WAS CHARACTER??

from getpass import getpass

CONF = {'password': 1234, 'tries': 3}

def try_pass():
    passwd = getpass('Password: ')
    try:
        passwd = int(passwd)
    except ValueError:
        return False
    else:
        if passwd is not CONF['password']
            return False
    return True


for try in tries:
    success = try_pass()
    if success:
        break

if success:
    print 'Very good!'
else:
    print 'OOOOOOOOO'

>>19

Is this a contest about who writes the worse and more broken solution to >>1's homework?

Also, for Sussman's sake, use code tags.

>>19 if passwd is not CONF['password']
I don't think you know what the is operator does.


def password(passwd, pass_left, pass_ask, continue_program):
    passwd=88888888
    pass_try=3
    continue_program=True
Thou shall read SICP.

>>22
Lisp is shit.

>>23
Ellen Page.

>>24
Ellen Page is shit.

>>25
If it ain't Ellen Page it's crap.

If you want to suspend the execution of your program at this to the end

raw_input("Press Enter to continue/exit")

It will require you to press enter before it continues.

EDDIE

Y U NO READ BOOK ABOUT PYTHON

Y U NO UNDERSTAND WHITESPACE

Y U NO DO GOOD

>>6
Nice multi-platform solution, faggot.

>>29
Enjoy your shitty OS, faggot.

>>30
Enjoy being a shitty programmer, nigger.

Just for future enjoyment and eternal shame of >>1 I'll paste the horrible original code before he takes it down from pastebin

import os #import module os to pause
def password(passwd, pass_left, pass_ask, continue_program): #define password function with variables in brackets
    passwd=88888888
    pass_try=3
    continue_program=True
    while pass_try>0:
        pass_ask=input()
        try:
            pass_ask=int(pass_ask)
        except ValueError:
            pass_try-=1
            print("Wrong password.",pass_try,"tries left.")
            continue
        if pass_ask!=passwd:
            pass_try-=1
            print("Wrong password.",pass_try," tries left.")
            continue
        if pass_ask==passwd:
            print("Access granted.")
            os.system("pause")
    if pass_try<=0:
        print("Wrong password. No tries left.")
        continue_program=False
os.system("pause")

Then, when some moron bumps this thread on 2013, we'll remember how pathetic were both the original code and >>19's rewrite.

also, dubs

def password(passwd, pass_left, pass_ask, continue_program): #define password function with variables in brackets
That's some useful documentation right there.

>>31'
>can't even buy a proper OS
>instead use shitty free OSes that can't even pause
>call other people niggers
riiiiiight

>>35
fuck off and die, fagstorm

I don't think >>3 is getting as much attention as he should, he has clearly removed the need for the program in the first place.
