This principle I have found to be incredibly helpful as I continue to learn Python and better programming in general. Where it especially pays dividends for me is when I must go back to where I was coding after an extended interruption. I find that when I have followed this principle I have a much better chance of *immediately* understanding my intent, then when I have to decipher my thoughts from a "one-liner" that might occupy less space, but where its complexity has me pausing in thought to be sure I understand what I actually was trying to do. -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
