Hi, I am trying to learn Python (again) and have some basic doubts which I hope someone in the list can address. (English is not my first language and I have no CS background except I can write decent shell scripts)
When I type help(something) e.g. help(list), I see many methods like, __methodname__(). Are these something special? How do I use them and why put "__" around them? One more simple query. Many times I see something like this, | D.iteritems() -> an iterator over the (key, value) items of D What is this iterator they are talking about and how do I use these methods because simly saying D.iteritems() does not work? Thanks a lot in advance. With warm regards, -Payal -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
