Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Jan 23)

QOTW: "The IEEE-754 standard doesn't wholly define output conversions, and
explicitly allows that a conforming implementation may produce any digits
whatsoever at and after the 18th signficant digit, when converting a 754
double to string. In practice, all implementations I know of that exploit
that produce zeroes at and after the 18th digit -- but they could produce 1s
instead, or 9s, or digits from pi, or repetitions of the gross national
product of Finland in 1967." - Tim Peters

"If you can't do a first version in six months with a team of six people it
is a sign that you don't really know what you want." - Jack Diederich

the content from the current site has begun:

seem to confuse those who try to answer:
http://groups.google.se/group/comp.l...515a4574dc9292

No, regular expressions aren't supposed to be gargantuan, but
there should really be a proper exception when they are:

Numarray, Numeric, NumPy... There should be one--and preferably
only one--obvious way to do it. So, which is it?

are utterly different in their technologies and generally in
their results.

For far, FAR more Python reading than any one mind should
absorb, much of it quite interesting, several pages index
