Re: [Tutor] Error-handling for a large modular program
Yes I am aware of the various Python parser packages. But at the current moment the language is changing so I'm just writing a parser as I go along. It probably isn't very good as it combines syntactical analysis with some calculations as it goes along (which isn't really good practice). Once the language design is finalized, I might look into using a proper parser and performing the calculations separately. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] how to read a program
"Anthony Parks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote "what are particularly great programs to *read*. not like great software, but great source code. somewhat like treating source code as a literature, what are the classics? I don't know anything specific in Python but one of the greatest pieces of programming code ever is Donald Knuth's TeX program, upon which LaTeX is built. For a long time (maybe still) Knuth offered cash rewards for anyone who could find a bug in TeX... a few were found but not many. There is a good write up on TeX on wikipedia explaining many of the important new concepts it introduced, most important in this context being the idea ogf literate programming - programs specifically designed to be easy to read...
