Excellent point!

Surely not necessary. There's a generous recent thread about books on
Python. Have a look at it.

I never read a book on Python. I'm looking for a good one now. I just
searched the web for names such as Charles Petzold, but it looks like he
never wrote a book on Python. I also searched for Peter Seibel, but he
also never did. I also tried to search for Richard Heathfield. (I took
a look at

It seems to me that str.format is not completely made obsolete by the
f-strings that appeared in Python 3.6. But I'm not thinking that this
was the objective of the introduction of f-strings: the PEP at
https://peps.python.org/pep-0498/#id11
says so explicitly. My question is whether f-strin

Just for investigation sake, I'm trying to simulate OO-inheritance.
(*) What did I do?
I decided that objects would be dictionaries and methods would be
procedures stored in the object. A class is just a procedure that
creates such object-dictionary. So far so good. Trouble arrived when I

A partial solution for this is the following procedure.

Perhaps this isn't the right newsgroup, but I kinda feel I will find
more GNU EMACS users running the native python-mode here than in GNU
EMACS newsgroups. Not every GNU EMACS user cares about Python.
(Right?)
A sort of a complaint is that when I used to run GNU EMACS 24.3.1, I'd

Students seeing a programming language for the first time and using
Python's REPL for the first time have asked me what is the difference
between a return statement and a print() call. They got a point.
