# here's a while statement in python.
a,b = 0,1 while b < 20: print b a,b = b,a+b
--------------- # here's the same code in perl
($a,$b)=(0,1); while ($b<20) { print $b, "\n"; ($a,$b)= ($b, $a+$b); }
Because you're posting this to newsgroups, it would be advisable to use only spaces for indentation -- tabs are removed by a lot of newsreaders, which means your Python readers are going to complain about IndentationErrors.
Personally, I think you should not do this over comp.lang.python (and perhaps others feel the same way about comp.lang.perl.misc?) Can't you start a Yahoo group or something for this? What you're doing is probably not of interest to most of the comp.lang.python community, and might me more appropriate in a different venue.
