For the code to generate `zen of python'.
Hi here,
I noticed that the `zen of python' is generated by the following code:
d = {}
for c in (65, 97):
for i in range(26):
d[chr(i+c)] = chr((i+13) % 26 + c)
print("".join([d.get(c, c) for c in s]))
But the above code is not so easy for me to figure out. Could someone
please give me some explanations on it?
Regards

Re: For the code to generate `zen of python'.
It's basically a decryption of the string s in the same module, that's
encoded using the ROT13 algorithm -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13. This isn't meant to be secure,
it's basically a little bit of fun obfuscating the actual text.
The code creates a dictionary mapping encoded characters to their
decoded equivalents. Decoding is done by adding 13 to the ASCII value
of the letter (wrapping round from 25 back to 0). That's about it,
really.

This code
[https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/this.py#L23] doesn’t
‘generate’ the Zen of Python, really. It just decrypts it. The Zen of
Python is hidden just above those lines.

Question: which way is preferable? It's historical... Python v1.x had a form of classes. Python v2.x introduced "new-style" classes. "New-style" classes /had/ to inherit from "object", as they had different behavior from "v1.x old-style" classes which were still supported (it would have broken too many programs). Old-style were then deprecated, and one should have used new-style for new code. Python v3.x unified (removed old-style behavior differences) and all classes inherit from "object" whether one specifies object or not. Thanks a lot for the explanations. As a Python newbie (with no Pythons legacies) I only deal with Python 3. So, I will happily ignore 'object'. That is preferred, because it is extra work to write and read, with no benefit, and because myclass(object) can be seen as implying that the code once ran or is still meant to be compatible with Python 2. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python help needed
#trying to write a function that takes a list value as an argument and returns
a string with all the items separated by a comma and a space, with and inserted
before the last item. For example, passing the previous spam list to the
function would return 'apples, bananas, tofu, and cats'. But your function
should be able to work with any list value passed to it.

There's a nice way of doing it using str.join. However, you do need to
special-case when there's only 1 item.
Start with a list:
>>> spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']
The last item will be have an 'and', so let's remove that for the moment:
>>> spam[ : -1]
['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu']
Join these items together with ', ':
>>> ', '.join(spam[ : -1])
'apples, bananas, tofu'
Now for the last item:
>>> ', '.join(spam[ : -1]) + ' and ' + spam[-1]
'apples, bananas, tofu and cats'
For the special case, when len(spam) == 1, just return spam[0].
