Re: [Python-ideas] (no subject)
I'm +1 to the idea of improving error messages :) (but maybe not to the exact new error messages proposed) Raymond Hettinger touched on this topic during his Pycon Canada keynote, as one of the positive contributions that you can do to cpython. > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > File "foo.py", line 2, in > >print(length(l)) > > NameError: name 'length' is not defined > > A better message might be: > > Python doesn't recognise the function "length". Did you mean len?' > I recall he gave a similar example to this, where Python could suggest an alternative in case of typo. ___ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

Please read the CoC before posting in this mailing list. The link is available at the bottom of every python mailing list email. https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ I don't find teaching children is a laughing matter, neither is the idea of children learning to code. In Canada, we have initiatives like Girls Learning Code and Kids Learning Code. I mentored in a couple of those events and the students are girls aged 8-14. They surprised me with their abilities to learn. I would suggest looking for such mentoring opportunities in your area to gain appreciation with this regard. Thanks.
