Hello,
I am learning Python and yesterday I cam across a definition wherein I was
supposed to flatten a list recursively. I am getting the solution properly
but wanted to know if I can optimize the code further.
#!/usr/bin/env python
new_list=[]
def flatten(num_list):

Thanks for the links. Yes, I've worked with the tutorials. My work doesn't
flow exactly along those lines, but they do help. I'll look up the the
group you sent too. I appreciate all the extra effort you went to. Many
thanks!!! :)

I have a question for the list about the homework rule and the tutoring
list. If you have a question and you're not asking for your homework or
past homework to be done for you but you just have questions to be explained
isn't that what tutoring and learning is all about. For example, on my

When replying to the Python Tutor list, please use "Reply All" instead of

I don't think it's been initialized properly, but that's where I don't

Hi Lezlie,
Well first off, let me admit I have no idea what checksums are (I be a noobz)
and I can not help you with that part of your program at all, but there are
lots
of people here who can. But since you are new to python, let me comment on some
of the general things I noticed in your cod

Hi,
I'm trying to work out the bugs in a program for calculating the checksum
(modulo 256) of an input string. I'm testing it with my full name and I'm a
beginner with Python. Here's what I have so far.
def main():
print"This program creates a checksum for a message."
name=raw_input("Pl
