I wrote my first program on a PDP-8. I discovered Python at release 1.5.? Now years later... I find Python more and more unusable.
As an exemple related to this topic, which summarizes a little bit the situation. I just opened my interactive interpreter and produced this: >>> for i in range(len(s)-1, -1,-1): ... '{} {}'.format(i, s[i]) ... '2 c' '1 b' '0 a' I did it so many times with a reverse/enumerate combination, I'm unable to do it again, I simply do not remember! One another really annoying aspect of Python, illustrated in my previous code: ''.format() . Was it not supposed to be *the* new formating scheme? I'm toying more and more with the go language. I really appreciate and rediscover the strictness I learned with Pascal. jmf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
