maps/reduces returning iterators objects instead of a list. Having to call list() on anything I map is just a pain. Why do you require it to be a list?

"Maybe py3k is viewed as "that bad," that no one wants to bother with it?" I don't think anyone's viewing it that way. A lot of people want to switch and many are, but there's the non-zero cost of porting and also the generally low demand.

He lost money on his book, meanwhile, Python 3 usage rose during that same period and it's still on the rise, so I would imagine (hope) he's just referring to personal commercial disaster. http://dev.pocoo.org/~gbrandl/py3pkgs.png shows a

The ones that don't know Python going into it are typically locals. I had lunch with two Atlanta residents last year that were big C# guys but their job wanted them to learn Python. They sent them to a few tutorials and picked out a few tal

If I wasn't such a know-it-all kid, I could answer 90's (99). Instead, I told my dad Python is stupid and I don't want to be a programmer or study computer science. ...then I went on a few years later to study CS and now I use Python.

I usually end up listening to bands like Sunn or Om. Super slow, heavy, and they don't take over what I'm doing. When I put on faster paced metal of any variety I find myself tapping my feet with the bass drums and then tapping with my fing

I don't either. This same thread gets posted on Reddit's /r/Python seemingly once every few weeks and everyone freaks out all over again.

What version should be promoted? As much as I like, use, and work on Python 3, a campaign to get distros to use 3.x would leave a lot of projects in the dust, broken and unusable, or resulting in a rushed conversion. On the other side of th

My GPA was worse and it never didn't prevent me from getting any of the phone interviews or the on-site. Don't count yourself out.
