He has mastery of that language, you know. You might have better luck if you phrase your questions in Perl, too, since he doesn't seem to understand it when people tell him to bugger off in plain English.

The courts agreed with the DOJ. Having had several large PC manufacturers refuse to sell me a system without some form of Windows because MS made it impossible for them to compete if they didn't agree to do so, I agree with the courts and the DOJ. Go down to your local car dealer and see if you can buy a new car without an engine. That's more like buying a computer without a CPU, which I can in fact do. Buying a computer without ms windows is more like buying a hifi set without a Britney Spears CD.

As for greedy even a minimal exposure to Djikstra's shortest path algorithm would have made the concept intuitive. And from memory, that is the sort of thing done in Computing 101 and in Data Structures and Algorithms 101 It seems to me that you want the Python doc to be written for morons. And that is not a valid complaint. He's right actually. If we understand the term greedy as it's used in graph search and optimization algorithms, Python's RE matching actually IS greedy. If we, more reasonably, use the meaning of greedy that is commonly used when talking about regular expressions, there is nothing wrong with the Python docs, and Xah Lee remains the troll he has always been. -- Måns Rullgård [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
