Jun 11, 2014 at 14:14 comment added daviewales Also, you can replace your randrange stuff with random.choice(). (e.g. print "%s %s %s" % (random.choice(verbs), random.choice(nouns), random.choice(adjectives)).
Jun 11, 2014 at 14:13 comment added Luke Thanks, @daviewales. Python isn't usually my language of choice.
Jun 11, 2014 at 14:09 comment added daviewales You're doing a lot of odd things there @Luke. I assume you are trying to print '. . .' with a delay between each dot. However, due to the way print buffers, they all print at once. Instead, try sys.stdout.write('.') followed by sys.stdout.flush().
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:58 comment added Mathlight @daviewales, that was indeed the problem. Now the program is running fine...
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:58 comment added Mathlight @luke, It's working now. And i'm impressed ^_^
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:57 comment added Luke @Mathlight prepare to be underwhelmed. :P
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:56 comment added Mathlight @Luke I've just installed Python 3.4.1 for Windows. I can't program in Python, but i'm interested in your little program...
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:56 comment added Luke @daviewales ninja'd :P
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:55 comment added Luke @Mathlight try using parentheses on the print statements. IIRC those are mandatory in Python 3.3.
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:55 comment added daviewales Maybe you're using Python 3? Try adding parentheses around the print statements like this: print( ... ).
Jun 11, 2014 at 13:53 comment added Luke What version of Python are you using? This works in Python 2.7 but there are differences in, say, 3.3 which might mean it doesn't compile.

Jun 11, 2014 at 12:22 comment added Mathlight I get an invalid syntax at the second double quote of this line: print "%s %s" % (verbs[one], nouns[two]),. I've never programmed in Python before, so maybe it's my fault, but i can't think of what the problem could be...
