It has been suggested to me off-list that my
response(s) to Bill Mill in the "is this pythonic"
thread were rude and hostile.
If that is what people saw in my posts, then I
apologise, because that wasn't my intention. In fact,
my comments weren't especially even aimed at Bill --
they were intended as more general comments about
finding a balance between dismissing questions by
pointing to the Python references, and guiding the
questioner to learn the skills to be able to use the
references effectively. I know I'm not yet at that
stage: I still hit road-blocks in knowing where to look
at times, and I guess that made me over-sensitive.
In hindsight, it would have been better for me to have
cut Bill's comments from my reply, and just make
allusions to a nebulous "they" who sometimes have a
tendency towards using "RTFM" as an answer to anything,
because Bill's specific was less dismissive and more
supportive than what you can get on many newsgroups. I
agree with his basic sentiments, although I might not
have worded it in precisely the same way.
(Given how I put my foot in it when I did reply,
perhaps that's not a bad thing.)
My apologies to Bill specifically, and [shameless
brown-nosing here] thank you to the comp.lang.pytho n
community, which as a whole is far more tolerent than
many other forums I've been on.

Steven.

Hi all
I have a question regarding inheritance. I have come up with a
solution, but it is not very elegant - I am sure there is a more
pythonic approach. Assume the following class definitions.

See: http://www.wxpython.org/quotes.php. especially:
"wxPython is the best and most mature cross-platform GUI toolkit,
given a number of constraints. The only reason wxPython isn't the
standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first." - Guido
van Rossum
Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a
very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be
replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

I'd like advice/opinions on when it is appropriate to do
attribute/property validation in python. I'm coming from a C#/Java
background, where of course tons of "wasted" code is devoted to
property validation. Here is a toy example illustrating my question:

The Python slice type has one method 'indices', and reportedly:
This method takes a single integer argument /length/ and
computes information about the extended slice that the slice
object would describe if applied to a sequence of length
items. It returns a tuple of three integers; respectively
these are the /start/ and /stop/ indices and the /step/ or
stride length of the slice. Missing or out-of-bounds indices
are handled in a manner...

Hi everyone,
I'm a big Python fan who used to be involved semi regularly in
comp.lang.python (lots of lurking, occasional posting) but kind of
trailed off a bit. I just wrote a frustration inspired rant on my
blog, and I thought it was relevant enough as a wider issue to the
Python community to post here for your discussion and consideration.
This is not flamebait. I love Python, and I'm not out to antagonise
the community. I also...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
