Hi guys,
Question. Have this code
intX = 32 # decl + init int var
intX_asString = None # decl + init with NULL string var
intX_asString = intX.__str__ () # convert int to string
What are these ugly underscores for?

I can't wait for the
intX_asString_asBool = intX_asString.__bool__()
if (intX_asString_asBool == True):
# do something
;-)

As serious a character as I am, I had good laughs at this. Don't you all
like my questions for all the exitainment they offer?
The "__str__" issue was a genuine question. I'm glad to find there is also a
__bool_ () method, shall I need it. :-) Please note, this is not how I write
my code. I'm not that bad a programmer, it's just Python which is so
different that I am doing what I need to help clarify things and help me
out.
I don't find this post offensive, even though JM is deliberately making fun
of me. But to his credit, it is funny indeed. Let's laugh 2gether!
This reminds me, when I first started working with databases and saw an
error msg which said that my query had "ambiguous columns" I laughed for 1/2
hr. I found it incredibly exitaining that a 100% deterministic piece of
hardware could have the word "ambiguous" in its internal dictionary.
