   Thanks for this, I am very new to python, so I will try this out. But I think at the moment my bottleneck is the scraping part. The current program hits 365 pages (each day for a year) and managed to pull down the 20 million results. I am n

   I don't know, at least if the evil cars turn bright red we'll be able to spot them easily ;-)

   I'm sorry, I was not mocking you , nor your music tastes. I was just making fun of the idea that you can be understood by a piece of software, yet be unhappy with the results. (Especially when it comes to music) Think about saying: Si

   Siri is very good, but not good enough to fix pop music from the last decade.

   Regarding the anti pattern: seems more like a dumb pattern. I often sign up for new sites when they have good content. But I need to read the content first . So many people give the pop up and interrupt me in the first paragraph so it is a

   I apologize. I tried to make it clear that I was giving my opinion, via my personal experience. I'm sorry if you somehow feel I was trying to redefine what you are actually talking about. I was not. I was just trying to engage in conve

    Actually, I think this is the biggest strength of spreadsheets, that no one has taken advantage of yet. Most of what you term as poor IT policies is just what (in my personal experience) just users finding something that works for them. And

    I thought your 10 times sounded a bit exaggerated, but apparently I was wrong and right. According to the UN site Kliment listed below, in 2014 87 Israelis died vs 2300 Palestinians.

    I do know the idea behind RFCs. And I hope that other people don't think I used the wording 'opinionated' in a negative way. I do know about the concept of a BDFL, and I do know that Guido was behind those comments. But I sti

    Hey, thanks for that type of input. This is exactly why I posed the question on HN. I really have no idea on how to judge Python code, so that's why I put the question to the community. I am looking for good code, but I don't (can

    It doesn't even need to be 1 on 1. It could be 1 to 2, 3, 4 etc... Small, but relevant groups could work well too.

    I know it is a good project, but would you recommend it for someone to read through the codebase? (Honestly, looking at the repo, I don't even know where to start if I wanted to do a read through. Has anyone created a map? :)

    Cool, thanks, didn't realize openstack was Python. It may be too much for me to take on at my level, but it is definitely on my 'to look at' list. Cheers!

    Thanks for that, and thank you for getting me into the whole PEP. Previously I had only heard about PEP 8, and I thought that was just it , an opinionated piece about how to write Python. Now I have a whole other source of information to lo

    That is actually a very cool idea, taking 2 codebases that work on the same domain and seeing the trade offs that each made. Thank you! (And I had no idea that either bazaar or mercurial were written in Python, because them being 'seri

    Thanks! Not sure if I am ready to take on OOP and mixins in Python yet, but I do like the idea of module organization so it's definitely on my list now. Cheers!

    Thanks for this recommendation. I don't know if I will check it out right now, but it is on my list now because I am hoping to integrate C in Python when needs be. But I don't want to jump the gun :)

    I was talking about just using django to make a web app. It is awesome in that regard. But if I'm making a web app just for learning about the issues regarding making web apps, django is not suitable because that's it's job :

    This one could be very interesting as I have decades of experience with DBs and SQL, so I was always wondering about ORMs, and sqlalchemy seems to be best in field at the moment. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers!

    Coming at this as a teacher (with a background in IT) I would suggest making it as student centered as you can. That would mean (unless you can meet with the students before hand) being extremely flexible with the syllabus. So you would ask
