Most of my tips/rules are about programming rather than python... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Use for loops when you know (or can predict) the number of iterations. Use while loops when you don't know in advance Put repeating code in a function Use meaningful variable names. Use dictionaries more often. Let the data define the structure. And structure your data so that it can. And more Python specific: ------------------- Use modules instead of singleton classes Use "if/elif" instead of "if/else if" trees Variables are just names bound to objects Don't test types, use the interface Is that the kind of thing? -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
