Mark's Blog :: Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python


Interesting David Goodger’s OSCON presentation is a good overview of how to do things in a Pythonic way.

....

Code Like A Pythonista: idomatic Python

An Easter Egg of note in python:


>>> import this
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

IE Javascipt Woes

I ran into trouble with using single quotes around the ampersand character

in a error message in plone today. MS I.E. breaks all to often in obscure ways

for my tastes! Here is some information about others   experience using

Javascript  with  Microsoft  Internet  Explorer:

Someone clearly hasn't had much experience doing ENTERPRISE PROGRAMMING. The kind of code you find there is unbelievable--its not "bad" or "broken",
its just 50,000 lines of bullshit that really should only be 500 lines, but is 100 times longer because its filled with WidgetFactory objects and all other sorts of OOP
bullshit that supposedly "makes things better" but really just makes the source code size balloon enormously without actually doing anything but confuse the maintainers.

A Big Change for Open Source

An appeals court has erased most of the doubt around Open Source licensing, permanently, in a decision that was extremely favorable toward projects like GNU, Creative Commons, Wikipedia, and Linux. The man who prompted that decision could be described as the worst enemy a Free Software project could have. This is the story of how our community was able to benefit from that enemy.
