problem with this code

sory i do this but i need to do the book axcersices and i dont have the answers...
tha bad of this code is that the user interface part its in spanish, sory for that
the point of the game is that a random word will be chosen from a tuple then it will be written with the letters in different places and the user have to guess... you can ask for a clue but than reduces your score by 25%
well i hope you understand the program if not i can try to translate
bye thanks very much

Code:

Lines like these...

Code:

if word = elements[1]:
...
if guess = "pista":
...
if used = "yes":

are the cause of some syntax errors - to do a comparison test (if X equals Y) Python needs two equals signs, like this:

Code:

if word == elements[1]:
...
if guess == "pista":
...
if used == "yes":

Also generally, this code:

Code:

  elements = ("heterogeneo", "argentina", "aleluya", "elefante", "importante", "guillotina", "esmeralda", "millonario")
  word = random.choice(elements)
  correct = word
  
  if word = elements[1]:
    clue = "homogeneo"
  elif word = elements[2]:
    clue = "patagonia"
  elif word = elements[3]:
    clue = "amen"
  elif word = elements[4]:
    clue = "marfil"
  elif word = elements[5]:
    clue = "indispensable"
  elif word = elements[6]:
    clue = "revolucion francesa"
  elif word = elements[7]:
    clue = "verde"
  elif word = elements[8]:
    clue = "$$$$$$"

could be changed into something a bit shorter and tidier (and more extensible), e.g.:

Code:

  elements = (
    ("heterogeneo", "homogeneo"), ("argentina", "patagonia"), ("aleluya", "amen"), 
    ("elefante", "marfil"), ("importante", "indispensable"), 
    ("guillotina", "revolucion francesa"), ("esmeralda", "verde"), ("millonario", "$$$$$$")
  )
  
  word, clue = random.choice(elements)
  correct = word

thanks man you are a great advisor, hehe
thanks very much

Code:

  elements = (
    ("heterogeneo", "homogeneo"), ("argentina", "patagonia"), ("aleluya", "amen"), 
    ("elefante", "marfil"), ("importante", "indispensable"), 
    ("guillotina", "revolucion francesa"), ("esmeralda", "verde"), ("millonario", "$$$$$$")
  )
  
  word, clue = random.choice(elements)
  correct = word

in this case you show me: tthe random.choice will choose one "()" from the tuple and when i use word, clue i am telling the program like first and second element of the sub-tuple?????

line 43 is this:

Code:

  while word:

    word = word[:temp] + word[temp-1:]

At some point in your loop, temp becomes 0. In which case this happens:

Code:

>>> import random
>>> random.randrange(0)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    random.randrange(0)
  File "C:\Python23\lib\random.py", line 154, in randrange
    raise ValueError, "empty range for randrange()"
ValueError: empty range for randrange()
>>>

As a rule though, I would use randint() over randrange(). If only because it avoids this error

. Alternatively you could test temp to see if it is 0 then break from the loop.
