After chickening out a couple of times over the past few years, about eight
months ago we migrated our small code base from 2.7.14 to 3.6.5. Some notes:
On 2.7 we spent a couple of years coding with 3.x in mind, using import from
__future__ and coding to Python 3 standards wherever possible. T

Being an old-timer, I was brought up on languages like COBOL, where programmers
love to line up MOVE, COMPUTE and some other statements. I still do that when
I write COBOL, as it is expected by other programmers and somehow just seems
right.
But I resist the urge in Python and never do it. Pr
For a couple of years we've used SimpleHTTPServer to serve pages to internal
users at low volumes, and we find it to be reliable and trivial to set up. We
have not subjected it to a rigorous security assessment.

This strikes me as very good advice. Thanks for being so far-sighted. And
let's hope that Python 4 has fewer incompatibilities (none would good) than
Python 3!

Many years ago I, too, had a couple of CS profs who forced us to include too
many (usually innocuous) comments in our Fortran and PL/1 code. Perhaps they
were trying to counter the natural programmer tendency of not commenting at all?
Forty years of programming later (yikes!), I try to use comm
Grant's statements are correct and his advice is sound.
I would not waste my time writing machine code, even as a hobby (and not even
if your other hobbies include juggling chain saws). It's too time-consuming,
tedious, bug-prone, and eyeglass-prescription-enhancing.

I was referring to the Byrd's song "Eight Miles High"--purportedly a drug
song.

I don't suppose "eight miles high" in the figurative sense counts?

The Python language is clear and concise and so I don't think takes
long to learn. But there's so many libraries and packages available
that I'll probably never use more th

A couple of years ago I was in the same boat you're in now. I learned
from _Python in a Nutshell_ by Alex Martelli and still use it as my
