moving from c++ to python
Hi, I'm a pretty sound programmer in C++, but would like to learn python! Does anyone know of any tutorial s aimed at me?? My biggest confusion so far is the lack of pointers in Python .. Regards Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The other thing I highly recommend is reading http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html just to see what libraries python has and a basic idea of what they can do. I have seen a LOT of programmers come from languages like c++ and spend days and sometimes hundreds of lines of code implementing something that could be done with a single line of code from the standard library. :) Just trying to save you from that problem. > Hi, > I'm a pretty sound programmer in C++, but would like to learn python!

On the contrary there are no "value types" in python. MyClass* c = new MyClass(12,13); is equal to c = MyClass(12,13) There is no equivalent to MyClass c(12,13); because it's not needed. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
