I'm writing my first script....ever. I just finished _Learning
Python_ by Lutz.
Here's what I want to do:
Iterate over a series of image files in a given directory.
Randomly select one on those files
Post that file to a web site.
Each time you hit the web site you will see a different randomly
selected image.
I guess this will be a CGI script that will run in the Directory
cgi-bin, which will be referenced by the HTML.
The image files which i will select from will be in a seperate
directory, i.e C:Web Stuff\Images
Here is the problem I'm having. (Understand that I've NEVER written
anything before). How do I iterate over the image files in the
directory? I thought that a for loop would work. sort of...
import random
for myFiles in someDirectory:
myImage=random.choice(Myfiles)
return myImage
I keep getting Syntax errors, Token errors. Can anyone shed a glimmer
of light on this?
thanx
