The idea is that someone who really knows about programming can take a look and give me some advice to correct the points that are not so good in my code. I don't know if this is a good thing to ask in this mailing list, or if it is possible for someone to take a look and spot my errors, but I really can't think of a better way. If it is a short script you can just include it in an email to the list. Longer than 50-100 lines is probably too long for mail. In this case the best thing is to put the script on a web site and post the URL to the list. Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Project Review
Kent, Yes it is a little longer than that, let me see how can I make it more compact and will get back to the list with a URL. Thanks!!!

It might be a better idea to ask for solutions or hints for a specific problem or comments on a specific piece of code. Most of us here probably don't have the time to read through big amounts of code without knowing if we encounter anything interesting in the process. So my suggestion is: try to wake our interest by showing us some code where you think is a problem or by giving us some more background information on your project. So far I could only gather that you are writing a thesis and there is something with a cryptic acronym (M Arch) involved. I have not idea, what this is about, so tell us! Chris P.S.

And check out some of Eric's other guides and essays as well. A particular favorite of mine (especially if you are interested in open source software and the development model utilized by most of the open source community) is http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ Great post, Chris.

Well, not all admonitions from this article apply with full force to posters on this list, because this list is specifically for those who are not no well versed in Python and often in netiquette as well. But the main point to remember stays the same: When you write a question, always ask yourself: how do get somebody to bother answering _my_ question, by making it interesting for _him/her_, because, as you always have to keep in mind, he/she will get no other reward for it.
