Mr. Brewer:
I fruitlessly tried your "thing counter", as you can see below. class AllThingsStartA tZero(dict):
.... def getitem (self, key):
.... return dict.get(self, key, 0)
.... thingCounts = AllThingsStartA tZero()
for thing in ('a','b','c','d ','a'):
.... thingCounts[thing] += 1
....
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 2, in ?
KeyError: 'a' thingCounts
{}
Reason tells me it should work for me using...
PythonWin 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.
....as it did for you. The runtime interpreter, however, says
otherwise. Can you see what I've done wrong...I can't?
With thanks in advance, I am,
Respectfully yours,

Hi gurus and nubys,
matz said more than once that the perlish global variables like
$/ or $: are going away in future releases.
I wonder if is there already a decision, what they will become?
I mean, it's easy to think that $DEFAULT_INPUT may become a class
variable of IO but what about $1..$n or $: ?
More, would it be possible to have some kind of backward compat via an

One nice thing about Perl that is helpful when tallying things up by
type is that if you increment a hash key and the key does not exist,
Perl puts a one there. So you can have code that does something like
this:
my %thingCounts;
foreach my $thing(<file>)
{
$thingCounts{$thing}++;
}

I want to make a dictionary that acts like a class, in other words,
supports inheritance: If you attempt to find a key that isn't present,
it searches a "base" dictionary, which in turn searches its base, and so on.
Now, I realize its fairly trivial to code something like this using
UserDict, but given that classes and modules already have this behavior,
is there some built-in type that already does this?
(This is for doing nested...

Ok, the answer is easy: For historical reasons - built-in sets exist
only since Python 2.4.
Anyway, I was thinking about whether it would be possible and desirable
to change the old behavior in future Python versions and let dict.keys()
and dict.values() both return sets instead of lists.
If d is a dict, code like:
for x in d.keys():

Perl's map() function is a powerful shortcut to accomplish many "loop over
an array and do X" operations.
Below is a quick hack to simulate similar functionality.
I've used it a few times and find it to be quite handy.
Any thoughts?

I wrote up a quick little set of tests, I was acutally comparing ways
of doing "case" behavior just to get some performance information. Now
two of my test cases had almost identical results which was not at all
what I expected. Ultimately I realized I don't really know how
literals are treated within the interpreter.
The two implementations I was looking at were:

Hello,
I discovered this behaviour in dictionary which I find confusing. In
SneakyLang, I've tried to extend dictionary so it visits another class
after something is added:
class RegisterMap(dict):
def __setitem__(self, k, v):
dict.__setitem__(self, k,v)
self.visit_register_map(self)

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:

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,...
