I like python for 'whittling' code until I get the effect I want. I also like the fact that it forces keep me from making my code too unreadable by others. I was always getting in over my head with that when it came to coding in Perl. Some of my old Perl code I still have trouble reading, even though I wrote it. :/

Or what about with open('mlccal.dat', 'r') as f: content = f.readlines() >> From The Zen of Python >> Beautiful is better than ugly. Agreed "with" is not ugly, not sure I would call it Beautiful..... maybe. >>Explicit is better than implicit. Not sure "with" really is telling me that it will close out the FD when leaving....... but Zen rules can be broken some days. >>Simple is better than complex. But it sure is simpler than the classic mode of opening and closing a document. So on a scale of 10, I would give "with" a solid 7. -Kevin ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
