More feedback:
In Riddle 2, the "global" declarations are unnecessary, as you are
only referencing the globally-defined vars for read.
Also in Riddle 2, I would replace
for s in alphabet: indices[s] = alphabet.index( s)
with
indices = dict( (s,i) for i,s in enumerate(alpha bet) )
(I see part of your Python Challenge as giving new Pythoners something
to cut their teeth on, and so this is an opportunity for giving
examples of good style.)
I do enjoy these challenges, they are quite addicting. :)

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your feedback and your example of good Python style.
Even though the challenge is opened to any language practitioner, I
must confess that I personally prefer Python and that languages like
Python and Ruby are likely to be the most effective to solve the
riddles.
Don't hesitate to report any issue you could find.
Enjoy. Cheers. Thierry This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

What is the impact of software patents on a developer's plans to

that I want to use for building my clients' sites, but I am not sure
if any of the routines violate patents or if I should pursue patents
on them myself.

Several people in this group argue that standard C
is not portable since there are no compilers for it, etc.
I propose this program in Standard C, that I have compiled
in several OSes to test if this is actually true. My
basic idea is to see which systems do not have a compiler that
supports standard C.
The program is designed to produce the sum of the natural
integers up to a user provider argument. For instance
