Yeah, but why start with an exceedingly painful one except to needlessly inflict pain and suffering on students. Better to lay the groundwork with a friendlier language, learn the basics, and then move on to the more complicated gottchas (a

Your comment makes if sound like you might think the passage you quoted was intending to highlight a shortcoming of Python 3. The article is in fact praising this behavior in Python 3 and stating that the default in Python 2 was goofy.

I used a variation of this trick when I was a resident assistant in college. We had the unfortunate job of busting drinking parties in the dorms and part of our responsibility was to collect ID numbers or social security numbers if the pers

This would not be permitted for any NIH funded lab, there are pretty strict rules about handling recombinant DNA. There might also be laws preventing this, I'm not sure.
