The following example will explain what i want to do: def func():
print "true" rules=(func,) for rule in rules:
rule
I expect the final function to print true, but instead i have
<function func at 0x00DC6EB0>
How do i get it to print true. I know if i had parameters in rule
like: def func(var):
print var rules=(func,) for rule in rules:
rule("true")
it will work. But in my case i don't need to pass any parameters.
How do i get the former method to print instead of returning a
function?

Hi
for rule in rules:
rule()
because rule it is a function

Why? You are not calling the function, so in the interactive interpreter
you get the representation instead. for rule in rules:
rule("true")
Call it without passing arguments. The parentheses denote that the name
to their left is callable and should be called with whatever arguments
there are inside them, there can also be 0 arguments.

As others have mentioned, you have to use parenthesis () to call
anything, function or otherwise.
The function name by itself referes to the function. This feature allows
functions to be used as first-class objects easily - they can be passed
around like data.
def f():
print 'true'
g = f
g()

In Python, as in C and many other languages (but not BASIC or
Pascal/Delphi and probably others), to call/invoke/execute a function,
you need to put parentheses after the name. This is what the others'
examples have shown:
for rule in rules:
rules() # call the function
If this were not the way it worked, then in the line above it, where
you have:
rules=(func,)
it would have (called and) printed true and returned None
(implicitly), and rules would point to a (None,) tuple.

How does Ruby compare to Python?? How good is DESIGN of Ruby compared to Python?
Python's design is godly. I'm wondering if Ruby's is godly too.
I've heard it has solid OOP design but then I've also heard there are
lots of weird ways to do some things kinda like Perl which is bad for me.
Any other ideas?

of control to render and what items to put in the ddl etc.

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.
