can put "__metaclass__ == type" at the top of modules :)
I always use new style classes so I only have to remember one set of behaviors.
"__metaclass__ = type" is warty, it has the "action at a distance" problem that
decorators solve for functions. I didn
someone
else won't notice.
[in fact we had a guy who was "downsized" for doing things like calling
database queries on the return value of a function that was documented
as returning True/False]
Perl shops require long style guides becuase perl is, ummm, perl. Python
is a b
d,
thus, potentially non-posix-compliant) code...
This problem is currently stopping Python 2.4.1 to compile on this
platform, so if anyone can provide any insight that would be very
helpful...

But note that neither of the PDP-11 FPUs were IEEE, that was a much
later invention. At least, I didn't come across it until much later:-)

many user defined objects. By assigning the default value in __getitem__ the
returned value can be manipulated via its methods.

I think we both want class decorators as a more fine grained substitute
for __metaclass__ (fine grained as in declared per-class-instance instead
of this-class-and-all-its-children). I can think of three ways class
decorators
.
The CCP Games CEO said they have trouble retaining talent from more
moderate latitudes for this reason. 18 hours of daylight makes them a
bit goofy and when the Winter Solstice rolls around they are apt to go
quite mad.

I use else similarly, for defensive programming.

I can't say I use it for much else, if I really want a default I do

enough. bzr might make it even easier but svn

Hmm, the first candidates here would be test_aepack and
test_scriptpackages, but neither one has an obvi
x27;%b').
The suggestion is to add 'b' as a sprintf-like format string
%[][.]b
Where the optional is the base to print in and is the optional
minimum length of chars to print (as I recall). Default is base 2.
Me? I like it.
