Question

how do you post code?
It keeps truncating the lines

Answer 1

There is no reason I can think of that you couldn't post your code, however if you are having issues you can always use pastebin or a similar service.

Answer 2

As eSpeX pointed out, there is pastebin. There is a similar thing on github. Where these come in VERY handy is when someone else wants to try your code. If I copy and paste a code sample people put on OS, it removes all the carriage returns. So for longer code samples, this makes things VERY hard to work with. If you use a code or text keeping service, this can eliminate the problem. That makes it much easier on people that want to try your code to debug it.

Answer 3

For the Mechanical MOOC, we recommend GitHub's Gist (github.com)

Answer 4

- http://dpaste.com
- http://pastebin.com
- http://www.repl.it/
- http://pastie.org
- http://codepad.org

paste your code there and post the link here. select Python syntax highlighting when u paste.

Answer 5

you may attach it by file

Answer 6

```
# indent your Python code to put into an email
import glob
# glob supports Unix style pathname extensions
python_files = glob.glob('*.py')
for file_name in sorted(python_files):
print ' ------' + file_name

with open(file_name) as f:
for line in f:
print ' ' + line.rstrip()

print
```

It looks like ``` above and below a block also causes code to paste properly, and retain format on copy back. It turns on the preformatted text mode!
