notice the raw_input(), it's written in python 2.

that would be s/in//g :)

Yup, I'll fix this, thanks for pointing it out.

by tusharsadhwani 5y ago
That's great to hear :D hopefully you'll try out Python sometime.

Type annotations link is fixed, thank you! Just `__add__` doesn't work for me. I get: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'Number' Here's the code: class Number: def _

In my case I meant it as things that only extend from object. Kinda like how prime numbers only have two factors including themselves.

you're right, thanks!

Oh, I didn't know that about locals! Yeah, calling float and complex "supertypes" probably wasn't the best idea, but I couldn't think of a better explanation that wouldn't take too long to explain. I'll po

that is indeed interesting. Mind if I add this in the article?

I think linters are really effective to figure out such issues in professional code. For students for example, I'll have to agree. Maybe having a flag or environment variable that teachers can set up for it would be a nice idea. You sh

I was concerned if my writing style will click with people, this is good to know :)

I can personally recommend Fluent Python (its 2nd edition is about to come out in a couple months) for learning these intermediate/advanced concepts, and Python Cookbook for code examples using many of these features. I don't know

whether mutating data is better than creating a new copy for everything is a really long debate about immutability and functional programming, with good points on either sides, but that's really beyond the point here. In my opinion, yo

Thank you! Things like `list.append` modifying in-place might feel like a flaw to some, but I think Python is really consistent when it comes to its behaviour. If you ask a person who comes from an object-oriented world, they'll say it

Shameless plug; might wanna look into zxpy :)

Tried it, most people end up putting vim in background with Ctrl+Z instead of closing it.

Funnily this problem seems trivial when you have good test coverage for your code. Especially trivial compared to the insane amount of help you could get in writing boilerplate and simple logic from a magical tool like this, if it delivers

FWIW, VS Code has a "zen mode" view which hides everything other than the editor window, which kinda makes it comfortable for people coming from vim, sublime and the like. Try it out sometime.

The biggest reason of all would be that 3.5 is already end of life :)

by tusharsadhwani 5y ago
This is all true. So true infact that I wrote a huge article documenting this for people who are new to it: https://tshr.me/mypy I'm planning to migrate this to my own blog soon.

Nothing as such, idk why you're implying that alternatives can't exist...

by tusharsadhwani 5y ago
Thanks!

The approach is very different. Xonsh is a shell first, and it adds python capabilities on top (with an arguably complicated syntax). Meanwhile, zxpy is just a python script, that can seamlessly run bash commands inside it.

the await's were a big no-no for me, that's mostly it. having to unnecessarily write await 20 times for 20 shell commands isn't that clean imo.

Yeah, I saw this yesterday and didn't like it so I made my own cleaner version: https://github.com/tusharsadhwani/zxpy

Honestly, i saw the syntax and thought I can do better, so I made it: https://github.com/tusharsadhwani/zxpy
