When Pythons Attack (article)

O'Reilly just posted an article I wrote,
which describes the most common mistakes
made by Python beginners. It's available
at this direct link:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2...rn_python.html

but can also be found on O'Reilly's home
page (www.oreilly.com), the O'Reilly Network
page (www.oreillynet.com), and the Python
resources page (python.oreilly .com).

Last night I was reading about implementing my own stack. The example given pushes items on and off the stack at the start and end of each procedure (ie. in a std module). What's not so clear is how this would work with class objects. In this case do you have to push the object on the stack at the start of every public procedure etc. in the class and pop it off at the end? I can't see how else you can know which object is active - or...

What's better about Rattlesnakes than Python. I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm a snake shooping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Rattlesnakes or have an preconceived ideas about them. I noticed, however, that everyone I talk to who are aware of Pythons are also afraid of Rattlesnakes. So it seems that Rattlesnakes have the potential to compete with and displace Pythons. I'm...

Before I spend a lot of time reading about something I might not need to use/worry about, can someone give me the 5 second take on CAS? In general, when do I need to worry about it (what type of apps in what types of environments)? I'm writing a data access API for a proprietary system. We're shipping this API to customers who build apps on top of this API/foundation library.

Hello all, I'd like to probe the community for some insight, if I may. I am in the planning stages of developing an XML generator for my workplace. Our site has an internal news system which stores news items as database entries. Our head organization has requested that all branches make an rss or xml file available for syndication on their central news site. I'm curious as to what plan of attack would be best suited for this...

Hi. I wrote a small hashlib for C. Because I'm new to hashes I looked at pythons implementation and reused *some* of the code... or more the mathematical "hash-function", not really the code. In particular I looked at pythons hash and lookup functions, so I came up with this (see the code underneath). So, can this code be considered as derived and do I have to put my code under the GPL? I'd like to publish it under something less...

I only comment on the because I am trying to use os.system('command1 arg') and it doesn't work but I do see examples with % that is borrowed from the c language. Seems like if I can write a batch file that does something the same behavior should happen in the os module..

Greetings: Personally, I don't think top-posting is the most annoying newsgroup habit. I think it's making a big fuss about minor inconveniences. One of the nicest things about being human is the amazing flexibility of our brains. For example, if a block of text isn't arranged in the order we're used to, we can easily rearrange it mentally and read it anyway. Oriental and Arabic peoples, for example, do this each time they read...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
