Re: [Tutor] Removing duplicates in a list with a fixed length of items in the list.

2007-01-11 Thread Klaus Ramelow
Why not sorting the items and throw out all multiples until you reach 
the fixed length ?

Re: [Tutor] Tutor Digest, Vol 31, Issue 23 - some jobs are just too big for Python

2006-09-09 Thread Klaus Ramelow
Sometimes I have also some  - or more - problems trying digesting python 
and feeling totally blocked.

My programming experience (beginning at the card-reader aera) 
main-frame, mini and micro :
Bit / Byte / Word system-programming via switch-console followed by 
Assembler and commercial
software using Basic, Cobol, Pascal and SQL.
Mnemonic programming-language - in my understanding - can only be 
consisting of expressions near the
human language. The best example for writing non-system-programms are 
Basic and SQL.
Why should I waste time in learning a language like Java (or more 
positive: python) ?
Nevertheless this Tutor Digest is most helpful, the number of questions 
/ problems show
some more people are looking for a mnemonic-language which should 
cross-compile to something
with multiplatform-capability like Java.
Please let me know, if I am entirely wrong.

 Summary: A python (the actual snake) ate an entire pregnant sheep in 
 Malaysia; and was unable to even move afterwards.

 The story above includes an impressive if somewhat disturbing photo.
