Back then - in particular, soon after 9/11 - I evidenced the natural irony of
the standard python implementation, by showing it had the clear and
spontaneous humor of replying :
'BUSH'
when asked the convoluted question :
filter(lambda W : W not in "ILLITERATE ", "BULLSHIT")
Now at first sight, it was clear I could attribute it to unexpectedly cosmic
dimensions taken by the BDFL's "time machine" effect over Python, when applied
to the time-shattering event that was 9/11.
OTOH, this was an inelegantly public-resource-seizing viz the lawful Python
community and its BDFL. Not to speak of 9/11 grieving ones. So that idea fell
off my hands.
My live mind kept expecting a deeper mystery, though, to the above Python
formula. I found it out, by discovering that their was a clearly brilliant
competitor explanation, to examine for contrast and completion :
Original Python responded
'BUSH'
when asked the convoluted question :
filter(lambda W : W not in "ILLITERATE ", "BULLSHIT")
in particular, soon after 9/11
because in particular
Python was a language designed with the idea that suffice two scopes,
one local, and one global !
Now, Python is past that.
(MMmmhh...)
So it appears, is Bush.
Conservation ! Diagonal Invariant ! Discovery ! Eurêka !

In netscape bookmark files, there are lots of lines like this:

I want to eliminate the excess attributes and values to get this:

A few days ago (see the 'itertools.flatten()?' thread from October 28) I
became obsessed with refactoring a recursive generator that yielded the
leaves of nested iterables. When the dust settled, I had many flatten
functions at hand.
So I had to time them. Results below.
History of the functions (from flattrial.py):

I have function that returns a table of information about properties. The
data comes from three different tables -- addresses (called PropertyID),
property characteristics, and events concerning those properties (sales,
appraisals, etc.), plus a table that maps one representation of property

(longitude & latitude), property type, event type, and a range of

Hello Everyone:
I'm having a very strange problem occurring with my Access 2000 database. I
call it the "mystery record."
Here's the story:
I have a query by form that returns a record set in a datasheet. The user
double clicks on a row in that datasheet and a main form (pop up) opens
bound to a table with a continuous subform bound to a query.

I've encountered a troublesome inconsistency in the C-language Perl
extension I've written for CPAN (Digest::SHA). The problem involves the
use of a static array within a performance-critical transform function.
When compiling under gcc on my big-endian PowerPC (Mac OS X),
declaring this array as "static" DECREASES the transform throughput by
around 5%. However, declaring it as "static" on gcc/Linux/Intel
INCREASES the throughput by...
