Using data as an input - Python

[MillyLearn]

Hi,

I am new to using Leap Motion and Python. I am looking for a way to use the data from finger.is_extended to determine how many fingers are being held up.
I have set everything up and when i run my code i currently get information regarding each finger type and if it is extended or not. Is there a way to use this data in something like an "if statement" to say, for example:
If thumb extension = 1 and index extension = 1 and middle extension = 1 and ring extension = 1 and pinky = 1:
print "5"

Not sure if this is really simple to do but i've not been able to figure it out.

Hi Milly,

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you need, but by the sound of it you want to set up a bunch of if statements to determine fingers pointing outwards?
An easier way to do that would be use leap.extended

extended_finger_list = frame.fingers.extended()

You could then just do

print(len(extended_finger_list))

to get the number of fingers extended out. I just tried it and it seems there is some issue with detecting 3 fingers it doesn't always do it, but it seems consistent enough to be usable.
