You could use both Bash and Python for tasks they are good at: concisely creating one-line shell pipelines in Bash and implementing complex logic that glues together these pipelines in Python. Example: pyinvoke/fabric https:/&#x2

Ordinary CPython code releases GIL during blocking I/O. You can do http requests + thread pool in Python.

It is not about your code, it is about C extensions you are relying on. Without GIL, you can't even be sure that refcounting works reliably. Bugs in C extensions are always possible. No GIL makes them more likely. Even if you are not t

Number crunching code in Python (such as using numpy/pytorch) performs the vast vast majority of its calculations in C/Fortran code under the hood where GIL can be released. Single python process can use multiple CPUs. There is co

There is no "0" year, 1 is the 1st year, so 100th year is still the 1st century, therefore 2nd century starts in 101 and 20th in 1901.

If words don't mean anything then of cause there is no difference. You might as well program in brainf*ck -- hey, it is turing complete, so same diff. Personally, I like seeing "dummy" name passed into a function and understa

> We can say that a Mock is a kind of spy, a spy is a kind of stub, and a stub is a kind of dummy. But a fake isn’t a kind of any of them. It’s a completely different kind of test double. You define fakes in this case, not mocks https:

all one needs to understand is that there are names that refer to objects in Python. Nothing is passed by value. The closure returns whatever object the name refers at the moment. That is all. def loop(): for i in range(10):
