"Lecture Preparation" Discussions on Python

Hi,

We are planning to have "lecture preparation" discussions in comp3141
at UNSW, where anyone can participate -- not only students taking the
subject.

There is a heavy python component in this class and I was wondering
whether anyone is interested in participating in these discussions.
We are looking for both python beginners and experts.

You can find the subject and a description of "lecture preparation"
discussions here:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs3141/

The class has about 200 3rd year software engineering students and I
hope many of them will become convinced of just how powerful and
simple python is.

While I'm generally interested in such discussions, I won't be
participating because I hate web boards. I vastly prefer netnews, with
grudging use of e-mail lists.

Me too.

Surely somebody has written a web board that'll let you subscribe to a
mailing list? (or even read a public IMAP mailbox -- not very popular,
though)

Anybody know of one?

Nice for those who can get it. The (educational) institution where I
work have, in their wisdom, decided not to make netnews available, so
I have to access even this newsgroup via a web board (GoogleGroups).

In any case it is good to see Python getting such a strong plug at
UNSW. Nice collection of Python links on that page BTW.

You don't *have* to...

Register an account at <http://individual.net/> and you have access to a
very good news server. It's a free service from a German government-funded
research institute.

Is there a better way to append certain chars in a string with a backslash that the example below? chr = "#$%^&_{}" # special chars to look out for str = "123 45^ & 00 0_" # string to convert n = "" # init new string for i in str: if i in chr: # if special character in str n+='\\' # append it with a backslash n+=i

Back in the old Visual C++ days, it was always important to define constant strings only once so that they wouldn't be stored over and over again in memory. Has .NET resolved this issue? Consider these two code snippets: Example A ======== const String hey="hey"; MessageBox.Show(hey); MessageBox.Show(hey); MessageBox.Show(hey);

Private NameLastFirst as object = "Public, John Q." NameLastFirst = Replace(LastName, "'", "''") If NameLastFirst contains "Public, John Q." before the above Replace, it will contain "Public" after the Replace. At least that's how it's working in my version of VS.NET. That does not seem right to me. Am I missing something? Note that the replacement character(s) are *apostrophes*, not *commas*

(The "C++ Grammer" thread in comp.lang.c++.moderated prompted this post). It would be more than a little bit nice if C++ was much "cleaner" (less complex) so that it wasn't a major world wide untaking to create a toolchain for it. Way back when, there used to be something called "Small C". I wonder if the creator(s) of that would want to embark on creating a nice little Small C++ compiler devoid of C++ language features that make...

Hello, IIRC, I once saw an explanation how Python doesn't have "variables" in the sense that, say, C does, and instead has bindings from names to objects. Does anyone have a link? Thanks, Ami

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
