And there are plenty of people who use Python all their waking hours, but never once write a generator function. Systems like this are large enough that different people get to use different subsets of the functionality. There's a HUGE difference between "using Linux for headless servers" and "using Linux for software development" and "using Linux for video editing" in terms of which features you'll use. I, for instance, couldn't *imagine* using Linux without SSH, but my mother uses Linux too and has never SSH'd to a different computer for any reason. On the other hand, she makes extensive use of Libre Office, which I only have installed for those rare occasions when someone sends me a spreadsheet file or something. But we're both using Linux, and that's perfectly acceptable use of terminology. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

"Linux" is one of those words that has ceased to have much meaning. Personally, I wouldn't think "double-clicking on a text file" has anything to do with linux. I use linux during most of my waking hours but I don't remember ever "double-clicking on a text file". BTW, with the triumph of systemd, I would say linux is falling ever more to the background. I am thinking more and more that "Linux" is a bad generic name for the modern distros. Instead, we should talk about "systemd" as the overall name of the OS. Linux really is a relatively minor component in the mind of the user or the application developer. For example, Linux doesn't dictate how one should develop a system service; systemd calls the shots.

Linux does not associate by file extn it uses a 'magic' file to analyse the content of the file so that it runs the correct application regardless of the file extn. to get a python program to run it simply needs the correct "Shebang" ass the 1st line Usually #!/usr/bin/env python or similar -- Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction, ice Is also great And would suffice. -- Robert Frost, "Fire and Ice" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Then how does my Linux box know that when I double-click on a text file, it launches kwrite rather than (say) the Gimp or LibreOffice? When I right-click on a mp4 video, I get a menu that includes a Open With command that shows (amount others) Kaffeine, mplayer and VLC. If you mean the Linux *kernel* doesn't do file associations, then you should have said so. But why do you care about the kernel? Would you think it even the *tiniest* useful to claim that "Linux doesn't do email" because it is sendmail or postfix (or similar) that sends email rather than the Linux kernel itself? -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
