How can I produce a tournament bracket image, like the above, using Python? This sort of image reminds me of a dendrogram (I'm not sure if it's literally a dendrogram or not), and I know Python can produce very sophisticated dendrograms, so I feel like my simple and regular structure should be possible. My priority is for the solution to be as straightforward as possible. I don't need a highly customizable or beautiful result.
Code which produces the exact image above would be great, but also code that produces something similar would be very helpful and I can adapt it myself. Or a suggested method, with no code, would also be helpful.
I have tried using BracketMaker, which is the first hit which shows up when I try google searching this question. In a Jupyter notebook, running Python 3.7.10, I have tried the following:
!pip install BracketMaker
from bracket import bracket # from the BracketMaker documentation
and I get the error message:
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("")? (bracket.py, line 50)
As far as I can tell, this is an error from using Python 2 code? I would like code that works in Python 3.
You could look into diagrams. Its Custom class seems like it would help.
EDIT: I've updated the project to support Python3. You can clone it here. All you have to do is navigate to the directory and run $ python3 bracket/bracket.py.
I tried updating the PyPI project definition, but I can't without the author's permission.

First time poster here. I'm trying to convert one or multiple .docx files to PDF but I can't figure out how to do it without importing any libraries/modules aside from what is available in python 3.3.
I've read through the packages documentation but nothing stuck out as a solution. I also don't know what I am looking for as I am pretty new to python. I found plenty of articles and resources that mention how to do it with an imported library, but not without.
Is it possible to accomplish this without importing a library?
Any advice/resources are welcome.
Code it from scratch. If you're not going to use an external library, that is by definition pretty much your only option.
You'll want to become an expert in the formal specifications for both PDF
and MS Word. Given the complexity and history of each of those, I expect a senior developer will want 6-12 months of experience with each to obtain the necessary understanding.
You should also have 6-12 months' experience with Python, since you'll likely need to be familiar with the language in order to define and use all the functions you'll need. But in just a few years of dedication, you should be able to write the necessary code.
MORE REALISTICALLY, import Python libraries for managing PDFs and MS Word. That should only take a week or two.

I am looking for resources that help me interpret python documentation effectivley. In particular, I am reading through the pythondocx module documentation, but am finding it hard to understand some sections.
As an example, when I read the Style Objects Section
, I am confused by lines such as class docx.styles.styles.Styles and what it is actually saying.
Any ideas on what I can do the to interpret documentation better?
I honestly think reading pythondocx module documentation is a bit of overkill.
The hard part of reading python documentation is understanding the specific logic of how objects and builtin's are organized in python. The best place to start, IMHO, is the index Python 3.8.1 documentation together with standard library and collections.
Even if you had studied other common languages before, like Java and C#, their API's are laid out in a different style. Each takes its own time for the reader to get used to. The python docs were written to be self-explanatory and after an initial learning curve that isn't especially steep the docs start making lots of sense.

Sorry if the title is confusing.
What I am trying to say is this:
I have worked with Python before, but I'm by no means an expert. So far everything I have done has just been 'somefile.py' with lots of methods and code in it, but it doesn't really have any organizational structure. In Java (which I am more familiar with than Python), there are usually different classes that each have methods and are called from each other. How do you make a file full of code organized and structured when working on a large project? Break them up into files by class?
Hopefully this is clearer. Let me know if this needs clarification.
In Python, the file unit is called module. Modules are organized in packages.
You usually put your classes each in a module and also use modules to group related code that doesn't belong to any class. Related modules are grouped in packages (physically represented by directories) which effectively create namespaces.
Then you use the import command to import the desired pieces of the code into other modules.
You can read about modules, packages and import in the Python documentation here.
Logically, it isn't much different than Java or other languages.

I found it really annoying when I use terminal that everything is in one color. I am looking for a way to print the output of my python code in a different color on the terminal console, so it will easier for me to distinguish the output of my code from the standard lines on terminal console (standard lines i.e. cd thisfile).
I am not looking for a way to specifically print colored python output to terminal like the following link
Print in terminal with colors using Python?
I am looking for a solution that everytime I open up terminal and run python scripts, the output will appear in a slightly different color. I want the effect to be permanent. Similar to turning on syntax on, once I turn it on, it is in the setting and I don't have to turn it on everytime I launch terminal.
And preferably, if possible, some code that I can just add directly to my .bash_profile that can help me achieve that, since I am not too familiar with bash scripting.
the color in terminal usually is controlled by ANSI Escape:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
You have to build the ANSI escape code together with your output text. Also you need to check if the escape codes are supported by your target terminal.
The link above has all information you needed.
this link should be useful too, for your bash tag:

This is the package which has a webapp demo in it.
However, when I login use this demo, I get an error.
How to make this demo running on the gae-launcher?
Looks like a bug in gaema.
The line that's failing is trying to urlencode a dictionary of arguments that get passed to the OpenID endpoint. One or more of the values, perhaps your first or last name, has non-ASCII characters.
You might be able to work around it by replacing instances of this:
urllib.urlencode(args)
With this:
urllib.urlencode(dict([(k, args[k].encode('utf-8')) for k in args]))
For a more permanent fix, I would report the issue here:
