I suspect the best way to generate a scientific list of FAQ is by scanning the subjects in the list archives. But here are a few more:
Special function _xxx_ doesn't work - double underscore needed Lack of indentation or inconsistent indents - inc tabs and spaces How to name an object based on user input - use a dictionary usually! How to get an attribute of an object by name - getattr() How does Python do my favourite PHP/Perl/VB trick Various possibilities here Binding functions to widgets ie not using parens after the function name How do I read the output from a program called via os.system() popen, command and the new Popen class Changing elements in a mutable object changes the object for all references assignment versus equality in x=x+1 That should keep you busy :-) Alan G. > Below is what little I slapped together last night.
