If you /really/ need a sorted mapping datatype, google for
"sorteddict" (which is quite distinct from OrderedDict).
Or look for a binary search tree or skip list implementation of some
sort; but these aren't commonly used in Python, so
be inclined
to use dictionary-literal syntax:
a,b,c,d,e = {},{},{},{},{}
It might be possible to do something weird with map(), but I think
it'll end up cleaner to do it this way.

Since you profiled your code up in step 1, you'll know which parts are
the best candidates for C code.
I think there are quite a few options better than forking across
computers; although distributed computing IS a lot of fun.

The situation is complex enough without bringing complex numbers into it!

Yes, psutil:

os.getloadavg() may or may not also be useful to you:

Wouldn't this fail on squares? It happens to give correct results as
far as I've checked; no square up to 10,000 is called perfect, and
there are no perfect squares
e indents are /recommended/ by PEP 8, but the interpreter does
not require or prefer that style. What the interpreter does when
parsing indentation is rather more complicated; see

If your extensions are DLLs and they're both linking to the same
static library, you should have two indep

Nothing wrong per se, but the flush()es seem unnecessary, and why do
stdout.write() when you can just print()?

The use that first springs to my mind is debugging import paths etc.
If you have multiple pythons installed and aren't sure that they're
finding the rig
code corresponding to your pseudocode:
if strict:
raise NonFreeLicenseError("The '%s' license is nonfree and thus
impermissible." % x)
As written, I have NonFreeLicenseError as a kind of ValueError. This
may or may not be appropriate depending on your program; a list of
3001 - 3100 of 20009 matches
