Trying to learn Python.

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

Well, I tried making a calculator but apparently that's built in already, and i'm not sure what else to make and I only know so little things.
Can anyone drop me some tips or tell me what to make that is simple?

Make a little program that has a database of usernames and passwords then you can log in and do stuff like delete accounts as admin, logout or message other users.

Code: [Select]

import time #imports database duh
database = [
    {'user','123'},{'admin','456'}  #what the database variable is, it's made like this so later i can just easily use {user,pass} as a check
    ]

value = 1 #for the loop. while this value is still equal to one and doesn't change the while value ==1: line below doesn't stop
while value == 1: #loops while the var above is 1
    time.sleep(1) #pause for 1 second i think.
    user = input("Username: ") #gets user input from keyboard and stores it for later. the whole input function is defined as 'user'
    time.sleep(1) #pause again
    password = input("Password: ") #gets the user input from keyboard for password and stories it again. defined as 'password'
    time.sleep(1) #pause again
    if {user,password} in database: #checks to see if Username and Password var from above are in the databse itself in the same order
            value = 2 #if above is true then value changes to 2 so the loop stops
            print("Welcome " + user) #prints success
            break #ends program
    else: #when the if statement above fails it goes here
        print("Incorrect Login. Try again") #prints failure
#and the program keeps repeating due to the while value == 1 line
#Fixed

I am confused by this simple peice of code. I don't know much about Python, just pretty much import, if, elif, variables, and some other small stuff.

Code: [Select]

database = [
    {'user','123'},{'admin','456'}
    ]


what the hell are you even

Code: [Select]

users = (
    ('user', '123'),
    ('admin', '456')
)

or just use a list of instances of an "User" class

Code: [Select]

value = 1
while value == 1:


.. why 1
have you never heard of booleans

value = True

and what kind of a variable name is value; why not something like run?

Code: [Select]

while value == 1:


please don't be the person who writes this kind of thing:

while len(items) is not 0:

when you can just do this:

while items:

Code: [Select]

   time.sleep(1)


why these delays

Code: [Select]

   if {user,password} in database:


I haven't studied Python 3 that much but I'm pretty sure that making sets with {} only works in "inline generators"
unless you were trying to make a tuple/list, which is probably the case, but this would be invalid

Code: [Select]

           value == 2


uhm
what

you're comparing value to 2 as a statement
even if you were trying to set it, why would you be doing this
break would already end the loop, no need to change value

Code: [Select]

//Fixed

I'm sorry I'm still new to python too :(

wow port ur coding knowledge turns me ON~

[Blockzillahead]

but now I know how to make my code better thanks
