Cartoonify Myself
Hi, Is there a Python module that can cartoonify a picture of myself? There's got to be an algorithm out there somewhere, right? If there is a way to cartoon a single picture, could you cartoonify a video, too? Thanks for your help. Chris -- Christopher M.

Re: Why this apparent assymetry in set operations?

So this is a bug in set_update or in set_ior. They can't both be
right.
It's not a bug.
Note, the non-operator versions of union(), intersection(),
difference(), and symmetric_difference(), issubset(), and issuperset()
methods will accept any iterable as an argument. In contrast, their
operator based counterparts require their arguments to be sets. This
precludes error-prone constructions like set('abc') 'cbs' in favor
of the more readable set('abc').intersection('cbs').

What makes you think it has stopped development? I just swung by the SF project page, and its most recent news post was just 2 months ago. Psyco may not be in the standard Python distribution, but it is definitely a fixture of the Python landscape, which is about as close to main stream as you can get. -- Paul Maybe because of this line: Psyco is a reasonably complete project. I will not continue to develop it beyond making sure it works with future versions of Python. My plans for 2006 are to port the techniques implemented in Psyco to PyPy. PyPy will allow us to build a more flexible JIT specializer, easier to experiment with, and without the overhead of having to keep in sync with the evolutions of the Python language. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: auto-increment operator - why no syntax error?

I read some reasonings talking about immutable scalars and using ++/-- doesn't make much sense in python (not sure if ++i is that far-fetched compared to the allowed i += 1) In any case, I accidentally wrote ++n in python and it silently accepted the expression and it took me a while to debug the problem.

Re: Some pythonic suggestions for Python
