That will be very helpful. I am preparing material for an Algorithms and Data Structures course using Python. I would like to demonstrate paradigm shifts in models of computation. Earlier I had thought of using Haskell together with Python for some of this, but it Would be great to stay within the Python world if I could cover the key computational monadic ideas without the rest of Haskell. -Anuradha -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
