I was looking through some code of my today and noticed this little gem I wrote a few days back that I had totally forgot about:
fill = [("%%-%ds\n" % (columns - 1)) % " " for i in range(yoffset - 2)] ...and then I went on to do: "".join(fill) Talk about using the wrong tool for the job... :( All I needed was: " " * (columns - 1) * (yoffset - 2) Anyone else remember any shameful one-liners like this? :) I'm just curious to see what kinda mistakes people make you think about a solution WAY TO HARD... :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
