Hi group, just out of curiosity, is there a list of all the syntactic sugar that is used in python? If there isn't such a list, could it be put on a wiki somewhere? The bit of sugar that I do know have helped me a lot in understanding the inner workings of python.
To give a few examples (might not be totally correct): x[i] -> x.__getitem__(i) x[a:b] -> x.__getitem__(slice(a,b,None)) x+y -> x._add__(y) x.method(a) -> call (x.__dict__[method], self, a) ?? for i in x: f(i) -> it = iter(x); while True: i = it.next(); f(i) .... except stop: pass TIA, Bas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
