So this is not unusual for Python. BTW, what are some of the other
languages where this type of expres

programmers should be familiar users of such technologies. At the
center of each of those areas, though, is a hard core of programming
problems. Those programs remain the theme of this book. This edition

pecting the 'or' to result only in the print running without
executing sys.exit(). But that is not what happens--of course. I tried
