Sounds kind of interesting, but when I go to check it out I find out that IPython 1.0 has not been released yet. Couldn't you have waited to make this post untill it was actually available? You're missing out on installs this way.

They just shipped support for Mountain Lion, which was released one year ago. I hope there is not as big a delay for Mavericks. I understand that it's a volunteer project, but a kickstarter could surely help them muster the $100 for a

The worst part is that 14, 15, 16 were very common marriage ages for women in our own civilization until a few generations ago. Since being physically attracted to girls that age is now considered a perversion, the inescapable conclusion is

The colonialists emphasized the split for political gains, and there must have been some arbitrariness in assigning each person to exactly one category, but they certainly didn't pull the distinction out of thin air. Just look at the p

They made other compatibility-breaking changes in Python 3, though. It'd be interesting to know why this particular feature was kept. I guess from another point of view it's simpler to have everything in the `def` line executed wh
