Raymond gave a talk on Idiomatic Python Programming at this year's PyCon U.S. You might be interested in it. https://speakerdeck.com/pyconslides/transforming-code-into-beautiful-idiomatic-python-by-raymond-hettinger I myself have been thinking of this aspect of late and has been working on a few iPython notebooks where I take one aspect of Python and show examples of unpythonic and pythonic code using them - like lists, dictionaries, attribute access etc. This is a work in progress. I plan to give a talk on it in one of the meetups and if it goes well, in PyCon India later this year. -- Regards, --Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
