Python Print Problem

Question

Any ideas why I can't print more than 2 forward slashes in a string before SL seems to treat it like a path? Escaping the forward slashes doesn't fix it.

print("a") # => a
print("a/b") # => a/b
print("a/b/c") # => a/b/c
print("a/b/c/d") # => a../Playground/
print("a/b/c/d/e") # => a../Playground/
print("a/b/c\/d\/e") # => a/b/c\/d\/e

Edit. It's a Code Playground issue - the code runs as expected on QPython3..Bug reported to SL.

Answer 1

@David, I tested "a/b/c/d/e" with other programming languages as Java, C#, C, C++, Ruby and PHP. It showed same problem and It run as expected in JavaScript.

Answer 2

Qpython Have Some Weird Problems For Example Some Modules That Are Supported As Default Module in Py3.x Aren't Supported In Qpython @David I Recommend You To Use PyDroid 3 You Will Love It It's Amazing
Terminal With Android Linux Kernel and Some Debian Amd64 And armhf64 files with it
Busybox Not Much Commands But Still Better Than Qpython
Custom Pip Search For A Library, Click Install And It Will Download It As a Full Library In kbs but it will be built with a makefile to become with the real library size
IIEC Always Reply On Google Play Reviews But Not On Via Email 😔
The Custom Pip Will Show You The Command That Is Used To Install The Library And It Will Show Shortcut Installs For NumPy, SciPy, Pandas And Cython
You Explore The Python Library Just By Exploring the App Home
It's Just 33MB And It's OFFLINE With The IIEC HackRun Files
It Automatically Make Python Executable Files Be Setup Automatically Like Cach But Not Setup.py And It Really Makes A Powerful Actions Not Like Qpython

Answer 3

@David Me Too But The Code-Playground Should Be Just A Visual Program Without Showing Any Of It's Code Because That Could Make A Valunabirty Point And That Is Very Very Bad To SoloLearn Especially That Those Are Windows Servers And They Are Easy To Get Penetrated By Unknown Sources So It's Better To Keep It Visual But It's Better If SoloLearn Showed Us The Bugs And UnSupported Modules :)

Answer 4

@Davide I Will Try To Find That Library For You

Answer 5

@David I Know This Looks A Very Stupid Idea But Try To Download The Sl4a Library From Github On Your Phone Then Move To Your Working Directory And Use Pydroid 3 I Hope This Helps 😊

Answer 6

@emmey actually I discovered the problem using "/".join() in this code

Answer 7

Thanks @emmy I wonder if there is any other way around it.

Answer 8

Hi @jay. Since the problem only occurs in the SL Code Playground and since f-string only came in with Python 3.6 and since SL is still using Python 3.5 it may be a while before we find out.

I tried using the str.format() method - see the code link in the question - and that didn't work, so I'm guessing f-string wouldn't either 🤔

Answer 9

Thanks @Vincent. It seems we get the same output with 'r'.

Answer 10

@Oma when I try it,
print(r"a/b/c/d')
gives the same output as
print("a/b/c/d')

I thought r only worked for Python 2.x

Answer 11

Thanks @warlord! I'll check it out 🙂

Answer 12

@warlord I tried Pydroid 3 and I love it! The only problem I've come across so far is I can't import androidhelper to embed sl4a.

Answer 13

@Ferhat nice digging! It would be interesting to see the Code Playground source code to see why this happens.

Answer 14

because its the format for a directory by default. You have to concatenate.

edit: this answer is wrong in code playground.

Answer 15

how about using formatted strings
have you tried it?
like
name = "jay"
print(f"hello {name}")

Answer 16

@Jan as far as I can see, just auto-complete Code prediction, auto indentation and real time code analysis

Answer 17

This just in:

Thanks for reporting.

We will fix the issue with one of the coming updates.

Best,

Armina

Answer 18

is this happening only in the playground of sololearn ?

Answer 19

please try putting an r before the opening ".
This will tell python that it is a raw string.
At least I think so.
