sorted is always a list, whereas reversed is an iterator (at least in Python 3)

It's quite obvious where it comes from though, it first calls __iadd__ on the list and that succeeds, and then it calls __setitem__ on the tuple which fails; however, the first operation already mutated the list. This has nothing to do

The credit card problem is quite easy to solve: allow a few months of free "pro" functionality upon signup, and then allow users to upgrade. During that period of time, you can also track whether they actually used the service a

The hardest part is to make decorator preserve the function signature, however it's quite doable and there's a few packages for that -- e.g. wrapt and decorator in pypi.

Tornado added support for that recently, I believe

But tuple unpacking inside lambdas is actually supported in Python 3, isn't it?

And I found Homebrew to be a "much better tool than MacPorts with way more useful packages" which to me is "clearly the better system" :) Been using it for the last 5 years and had many chances to compare both. See, it&#

Rust iterators are a bit of a crutch IMO, until it's possible to return them unboxed; if you use them heavily you end up with types one paragraph long.

That's an interesting claim, care to back it? P.S. *nix shell != bash, there's zsh and fish that are light years ahead re: tab completion and other general niceties.

Hasn't this been already done in webpack (css-loader with local scope)? https://github.com/webpack/css-loader#local-scope

Making money on daily trading != predicting stock prices. More often than not, you don't want to be trying to predict prices or use fair value models if you are a high frequency trader.

Another way to do this would be to use numba package to generate LLVM IR from Python bytecode (it supports a rich set of instructions including numpy stuff, has type inference, etc), and then run it in the browser via emscripten, with some

What about Rust though?

Looks like a fun project on its own, with a lot of syntax tree hackery going on, but I see no real (pragmatic) use since many of the AST hacks and use cases presented are in my opinion completely unwarranted and can already be solved by the

Module system, uniform function call syntax (UFCS) -- it all starts looking more and more like D :)

I don't agree. In the notebook, you can use "%pylab inline" or "%matplotlib inline" magic to have plots inline, but you can also not use it and have plots output to a separate window without any side effects in the

Maybe VLC could use a limiter with a softer knee perhaps? Or a multi-band limiter for the explosions.

pypy is generally incompatible with CPython libraries -- most notable being plain vanilla numpy. There are ongoing attempts to port numpy to pypy (numpypy), but other than that you're just left with pure python and pure python librarie

Ditto for Sphinx. Thought I might mention http://www.readthedocs.org for hosting Sphinx docs if one is interested.
