Thanks, Danny and all.
Adjusted the code, here is the newest code and error:
# This is the code for a password protected program to store passwords.
password = "hello"
print "The Password Program"
print "Copyright 2005 Nathan Pinno."
print
answer = raw_input("What is the password? ")
while password != answer:
print "The password is incorrect."
answer = raw_input("What is the password? ")
def main_menu_command():
print "1) Add a login info card"
print "2) Lookup a login info card"
print "3) Remove a login info card"
print "4) Print Login info list"
print "5) Save login list"
print "6) Open Login list"
print "9) Exit"
def load_login_command(site,filename):
in_file = open(filename,"r")
while 1:
in_line = in_file.readline()
if len(in_file) == 0:
break
in_line = in_line[:-1]
[site,id,passcard] = string.split(in_line,",")
list[site] = id and passcard
in_file.close()
def save_login_command(site,filename):
out_file = open(filename,"w")
for x in site.keys():
out_file.write(x+","+sites[x]+"\n")
out_file.close()
def add_login_command(site,filename):
print "Add a login info card"
site = raw_input("Site: ")
id = raw_input("User ID: ")
passcard = raw_input("Password: ")
sitelist[site] = [id,passcard]
def lookup_login_command(site,filename):
print "Lookup a login info card"
site = raw_input("Site: ")
if sitelist.has_key(site):
print "The ID is: ",sitelist[site][0]
print "The password is: ",sitelist[site][1]
else:
print site," was not found."
def remove_login_command(site,filename):
print "Remove a login info card"
site = raw_input("Site: ")
if sites.has_key(site):
del sitelist[site]
else:
print site," was not found."
def display_login_command(site,filename):
print "Login Info"
for x in site.keys():
print "Site: ",sitelist," \tID: ",sitelist[site]," \tPassword:
",sitelist[site]
print
menu_choice = "0"
list = {}
print "Welcome to the second half of the program."
main_menu_command()
while menu_choice != "9":
menu_choice = raw_input("Choose an option: ")
if menu_choice == "1":

elif menu_choice == "2":

elif menu_choice == "5":
filename = raw_input("Filename to save: ")
save_login_command()
elif menu_choice == "6":
filename = raw_input("Filename to load: ")
load_login_command()
print "Have a nice day!"
Error Message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\password.py", line 73, in ?
add_login_command()
TypeError: add_login_command() takes exactly 2 arguments (0 given)
How do I fix it so that it runs properly, and any other errors that have
to be fixed?
