PyGTK is obsolete and stopped at Python 2.7, while PyGObject for Windows is
several versions behind (currently 3.18 vs 3.21) and it doesn't support Python
3.5. Game over for GTK+.

Lxml offers lxml.etree.iterparse
(http://lxml.de/tutorial.html#event-driven-parsing), an important combination
of the memory savings of incremental pars
ys. Both choices are perfectly good, and routinely made without bothering
other people with inane conversations.

Regarding the "select" statement, I think the most "Pythonic" approach is using
dictionaries rather than nested ifs.
Supposing we want to decode abbreviated day names ("mon") to full names
("Monday"):
day_abbr='mon'
day_names_mapping={
'mon':'Monday',
'tue':'Tuesday',
'wed':'Wednesd

I also would like to use PySide, but unlike PyQt and Qt itself it
doesn't seem likely to support Windows in the foreseeable future. A
pity, to put it mildly.

If you want to claim a small Python-related corner of the web, you
should write a blog: if it is any good, and probably even if it isn't,
it would be linked and read by someone and it would add to collective
knowledge instead of fragmentin
you multiply or divide these
coefficients by (N-1)/N the minimum and maximum results for the two
choices can be made identical up to floating point mangling.

s central and actual use and design is a
second class citizen. You say in your blog post: "Users shouldn’t have
to pore through the code to find all the little bits they can tweak".
They shouldn't because a well designed application has adequate
documentation of what should be configured in the form of manuals,
wizards, etc. and they shouldn't because they don't want to tweak
little bits, not even if they have to.

In C++ one can check dimensions at compile time (http://www.boost.org/
doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost_units.html) with a modest increase of
cumbersomeness, but Python would need very heavyweight classes
containing a value and its dimension and a replacement of all needed
functions and operat
s are that the needed objects are already in place and
you only need to make workflow more explicit and add appropriate new
features.

overlaps
between the left-hand side and the right-hand side are `safe' (for
example "a, b = b, a" swaps two variables), overlaps within the
collection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the
following program prints "[0, 2]":
x = [0, 1]
i = 0
i, x[i] = 1, 2
