My apologies. This reply went to the wrong forum. Hopefully it contains little to be debated. An even shorter version would be:
If at first you don't succeed ... -----Original Message----- From: Tutor <tutor-bounces+avigross=verizon....@python.org> On Behalf Of Avi Gross Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2018 9:48 PM To: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] dangerous class neighborhood Sometimes when I post something I get back comments and evaluate them and learn quite a bit. I then reply and debate every little point and it can continue for a few rounds. I don't seem to be in that mood today so let me simply restate my entire post in a few sentences with no examples, no lectures, no advice on what anyone else can do and very little for anyone to bother replying to. Here goes: Sometimes when I run up against a wall and find that a solution to a problem does not work because things may not work as I expected, I pause. I reconsider what I actually need to get done. Then I look to see if I can come up with other ways to do it that will work while still getting the important parts done. Failing that, I ask if perhaps there is another tool, such as another programming language that is a better fit for the task. And, if the work needed seems excessive, I ask if perhaps the problem does not really need to be solved by me and I move on. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
