Stephen,
I've come into this thread late, but it looks like you're lamenting the fact
you can stipulate complex iterations on a single line, which can be nice. I'd
not really missed this in several years of programming with python.
However, Your post is interesting because it raises a point I'
Thank you for reminding me of that!
I've just started with 2.5 but that one had slipped my memory and I've
still been using
X = (z and [y] or [w])[0]
Thank!
Jeff

I think you could use sets, (I asked a similar question a few days ago

If SmallList and BigList are sorted (in order), there is a faster method:

hi, an
It seems this is a delightful exchange of rude threats and insults. ;-)
My question is: If you love C syntax so much, why don't you program in C and
leave us python people alone?
And also: It is not the responsibility of the docs to ease the way for C
programmers. That is what a specific tutori
That's a good point. He keeps indicating that the tutorial should make
reference to C/C++/Java syntax specifically because that's what the
rest of the known universe uses. To carry your example one step
farther, it's like expecting a grade school Spanish text to have
pointers for English speaker

I thought you got plenty of decent opinion and most of was disagreement.

Hello!
I'm quiet new to Python and definitely a beginner in implementing Python
extensions in C/C++. I've followed the structure given in the formal Python
documentation to write the following code block:
===
//cmatmod.c
#include
static unsigned int eigenvect_calc(double *min_eps)

Hi,
You're really asking about optimisation incidentally.

A simple way:

Python 2.5 does have conditional expressions that do the work of a
ternary operator:

Better to put it in a Download folder or some such, it doesn't need to
be in Library. Not a big deal though.
