Not sure what you mean with the last sentence? Anyway, Fragments are a nightmare. I learned them, I used them, and if I have to use them today I would still need to open that tutorial I have saved somewhere. That is one ugly solution if the

Also, I kind of like the short versions. They are not any more difficult to remember ("Hmm, was it CopyFile of FileCopy?") and you need to search for them the first time around anyway. And it does save the effort when typing.

IF it works. Which it almost never does (in my experience: 3 fails out of 3 trials), unless you are using the same SOAP library on both ends.

Good idea. But I have to ask... "just"? Really? :)

Anyone had any luck finding the license?

Maybe i wasn't clear enough, I think the bug is this line: except Exception: Why would you want to catch all exceptions? ideally you should catch just those that are applicable to your case and ignore others: except Attr

Exactly. It shouldn't even be legal to use such EULA.

Maybe not in the described form, but it is still very useful if you can do ad-hoc fast calculations. It helps when talking about budgets and similar - when someone throws some numbers at you it helps immensely if you can check if they are i

Isn't this simply a bug? Why would hasattr() catch all exceptions instead of just AttributeError? IMHO a better title would be: "Python2 hasattr() has a bug".

I agree with you about moralizing - it can be (and often is) harmful. But in this case the advice is sound. Taking care of your stuff, not discarding it just because it is a bit worn around the edges, and trying to repair it instead of just

I think this is a great deal - for Alcatel Lucent. Hardware networking equipment is mostly going to become commodity (with SDN). Some networking equipment will stay expensive, but that will be a smaller market. I don't see what Nokia s

Thanks for the clarification on downvotes, I guess you are right. As far as BT mice and keyboards goes, well, I wouldn't want to give them to my grandmother. What happens when battery goes out? Yes, she could always put it in charger,

Lines 140-149... I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, the software developer in me keeps screaming "DRY! DRY! DRY!". On the other hand I find it really concise and understandable. I mean, can you look at this code and NO

They don't need to trust it - the fact it is there is a good enough indicator that the machine was compromised. :P
