* Dave Brueck [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2005-04-14 07:49]: [Roel Schroeven] Not that it really matters, but does anybody know why the weekly Python news always arrives twice? Does it only happen to me, or does it happen to others too? It's not that it irritates me or anything, I'm just being curious. [Dave Brueck] I just thought it was for emphasis. My theory has always been that it's posted once to python-list, and once to usenet, and the bridge dutifully sends each message to the other domain. (And, yes. (Obviously) I get two copies, as well. I've meen meaning to ask the same question.) -John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

QOTW: I think my code is clearer, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm violently opposed to your code. I save violent opposition for really important matters like which text editor you use. - Roy Smith You need to recursively subdivide the cake until you have a piece small enough to fit in your input buffer.
