Sorry to bother you all with what you might consider trivia, but someone in my
course forum posted this statement:
"I have never seen or heard of real uses of recursion except for proving
cleverness,"
so I thought I would ask you all if that is true. Is it really not used in

How do you get version 3.5? Python.org shows 3.41 as being the latest.

Wow. Just wow! Thank you for all that information. That was really helpful.
Thank you very much!!

CA Clipper was the main language I used in my former programming life (dBase

The more I learn, the more I realize that there is so much more to learn, and
the more difficult some of the stuff to learn seems to be. I'm not sure that I
would have set out on this journey to learn Python if I had known how massive
the task was going to be. I AM enjoying it, but my gosh, whe

I am betting that a big reason newbies don't go straight to documentation for
answers is because of the useless quick search. You should be able to type
'dictionary' and get links to the dictionary info. You get a bunch of links
that are meaningless to someone who wants to learn about how to u

Hi. Everywhere I have read, the 'standard practice' for indentation is 4

such. Should I keep with the 4 spaces, or does it even matter, as long as it
is consistent?
