Re: very rare python expression

Nothing strange about that syntax (though some spaces might helped you out).

The '&' operator is a bit-wise operator
(http://docs.python.org/ref/bitwise.html).

Howdy everyone,

I saw a strange python code in pygame project. What does "while
not(x&528or x in l):" mean? Below code works in python2.5, so "x&528"
is not HTML strings.

# snake.py code:
import pygame as p,random
p.init()
q=p.display
T=16
b=q.set_mode([256]*2).fill
l=[]
d=a=x=1
c=p.event.get
while not(x&528or x in l):
l=l[a!=x:]+[x]
while a&528or a in l:a=random.rand range(512)
b(0)
[b(99,(o%T*T,o/32*T,T,T))for o in l+[a]]
q.flip()
p.time.wait(199 )
for e in c(2):
v=e.key-272
n=((v&2)-1)*[1,32][v<3]
if-n-d and 0<v<5:d=n
c()
x=l[-1]+d
Best regards,

I'm realizing I didn't frame my question well. What's ***TOTALLY COMPELLING*** about Ruby over Python? What makes you jump up in your chair and scream "Wow! Ruby has *that*?

Variations on style are of no interest to me. I'm coming at this from a...

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

Hi all, I've got an application that I'm writing that autogenerates python code which I then execute with exec(). I know that this is not the best way to run things, and I'm not 100% sure as to what I really should do. I've had a look through Programming Python and the Python Cookbook, which have given me ideas, but nothing has gelled yet, so I thought I'd put the question to the community. But first, let me be a little more detailed...

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...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
