Challenged by a snake...

I needed to learn a bit of Python to help a friend.

I found this site at the same time as I was rummaging around ActiveState's download area.

It's bloody addictive!

we adopted python at work because we needed a language that was object oriented (despite the fact that I don't do OO) could be run from the shell and also used as cgi. (We have some scripts that actually require pulling data from one server through a php script in order to be parsed... because the guy who wrote them only used php and java. UGH

Pretty sure the debugger you're on about is 'winpdb'. At least, I vaguely remember it being platform-independent

I haven't touched lambda, and, quite frankly, I don't think I shall at work due to the fact that it will mean some folks start using it for extrapolation of things that should be lists into objects containing a list. With a lambda.

Oh and I noted a forth compiler 2 days ago. I will be attempting to compile this for Amiga and hopefully it will work and let me make a bitchin' 4k (:

Ni! Ni!

Oh wait, not the kind of python you wanted...

The response could've been worse. Much worse. ;)

That particular Python, I can live with. :)

Also in those 'term I forgot the name of' - the basic rule that one should use as many references to the Python troupe, for which the language was named for, as you can handle (:
