hello all,
A few times in practice I have been tripped up by how Python keeps
variables in scope after a loop--and it wasn't immediately obvious what the
problem was. I think it is one of the ugliest and non-intuitive features,
and hope some others agree that it should be changed in py3k.

about the current
parser's implementation, but it doesn't seem like scoping necessitates slow
parsing -- considering it's done in other languages, and python functions
have reasonable scope.
>>> def do_nothing(i): i = 3
...
>>> do_nothing(1)
>>> i
10

Amaury - I think it's generally cleaner code to write
for myObject in someList:
if myObject.fits():
process(myObject)
break
than
for myObject in someList:
if myObject.fits():
break
process(myObject)
I see from csv.py how it could simplify thing
Hi all,
It's obvious how to use LC's to replace map and filter, but what about
reduce? It is one of my favorite functions.
>>> time=1901248
>>> reduce(lambda a, b: a[:-1] + [a[-1]%b, math.floor(a[-1]/b)], [[time],
60, 60, 24])
[28, 7.0, 0.0, 22.0] # secs, mins, hrs, days

yes I know, apologies for not mailing the right list. I'll try to do so next
time. Dividing the previous result seems more logical: minute

the reduce is actually 69 *and only one line* if you don't need it in a
function. You can't put the dhms2 in a function unless you want to leak
