For me, the quickest way to jump into a programming language was seeing
a current open source project and say "I wish it did this too, or that
instead ..." and implement it myself. Not only do you learn about the
project itself, and pick up some tips and tricks along the way, you then
also have

Hey all,
I followed a tutorial on creating a very simple wiki in Python, which
worked fine until the example where the instructor wanted to render the
output through markdown.markdown()
Here's the view code:

Thanks Tino,
It's certainly not homework, I'm learning Python after being in the Perl/PHP
world for well over a decade. Trying to teach this old dog some new tricks.

In Perl, I can manipulate a special variable called $| to control

Hey all,
I released my short URL engine last night and it works great. The only

should throw a trappable exception.
