I think what I actually want to learn is design pattern in a looser sense, not in the computer-science-vocabulary-sense.
I'm a graduate student in science, and python is my favourite programming language in daily work. I can solve most of the problems with python, but my programming efficienct is really low. Somethimes I have to stop to think about when to use what idiom, such as when to use functions and when to use methods. I want to learn how to write better programs more effectively and more efficiently. I will try to have a look at the wikipedia. Thanks again for your kind suggestion :) Regards, xiaojf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
