Hi,
Sorry for this little pub, some time ago that I published my first
Python module on pypi. This is a port of a Perl module is a very simple
text localization system. I am very happy to have your opinion, ideas
and feedback. I have also a question I use % for the display of
the chain, but I thin

I'm pretty sure you were just talking about dunder, dunder.

Dear Dave,
I am using python 2.
I am still confused as what return does. What does it mean if a function
returns True to the caller? What is the caller?
Your code worked for returning a list of 1000 items of odd numbers, so I then
tried writing a code to replay isodd to give True or False for is

The caller is the program code that calls the function.
For example if I write a function

return x*x

Have you ever used (called) a function? If so, you've written a caller.

Underscores are legal characters in names. So you can write:
