Yeah, I agree. Interesting script, Kent. Surprisingly short.
I didn't realize I wasn't in the top 5 posters for 2008! I guess I
have a new year's resolution to be more helpful.
Happy New Year, everyone!

For what it's worth, Guido has explicitly said,
"Tuples are for heterogeneous data, list are for homogeneous data.
Tuples are *not* read-only lists."
That surprises me, he has always seemed more pragmatist than purist.
However even Guido saying it doesn't alter the fact t

I stumbled across some discussion of why the fundamental difference
between lists and tuples is not mutability, but hetero- versus
homogeneous data, e.g.
This is not a discussion about Pythons tuples v lists per se but about
how some people think they should be used
I'm having trouble assigning a dictionary as a value within another:
Code Snippet Start
for line in fromchild.readlines():
itemarray = line.strip().split(":")
parentdictkey = itemarray[0]
print 'parentdictkey = ' + parentd

Python 2.6 added collections.namedtuple() which is a factory for
classes like this:

For several years I have been using a simple script to find the top 20
posters to the tutor list by web-scraping the archive pages. I thought
others might be interested so here is the list for 2008 and the script
that generates it. The lists for previous years (back to 2003) are at
the end so every

I stumbled across some discussion of why the fundamental difference
