The fact that _ and __ are intended as throw away values is only clear to people who have read a particular doc about coding styles. If you haven't read the doc, you don't know what is going on. I name my throw away variables junk, and if there are lots of them, for instance when I am reading from a list of tuples, but only care about the fourth item in each tuple, its 'junk1, junk2, junk3 ...'
So far I have yet to meet somebody who wasn't immediately aware that I did not care about those values. Laura _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
