No output in 'english word generator'

Change def isValid(word): to def isValid(word, wordtype):, adapt the call to this function to put the two variables and it should solve the error.

Thanks a lot, I don't get the error anymore now.

I now don't manage to get any word out of the generator though?

I'm sorry, but I really think it should be isValid(word) though. If it were 'wordtype' it doesn't generate a word, because wordtype=common/all so the chance that that is the word it produces is legendary low, which is why it takes so long to create the word. So what do I do now?

Just a thought: in the isValid function, I believe "file" is the name of a Python object. Have you tried using a different variable name? It would like naming a variable "int". It tends to confuse the interpreter.

Well yeah that would've solved it I guess, but it just turned out to be a problem of the order in which my program ran. I've got it all figured out now. Thanks for the reply though :) if you want I can send you the generator.py file?

You can post your final program in this thread, this will be a nice gesture in case someone is doing a search on this matter in the future. And last but not least, it is always fun to read new words in English.
