Ha! Nice question. Not in direct answer but here's E.W Dijkstra defining 'user': [from http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD618.html ] The computer “user” isn’t a real person of flesh and blood, with passions and brains. No, he is a mythical figure, and not a very pleasant one either. A kind of mongrel with money but without taste, an ugly caricature that is very uninspiring to work for. He is, as a matter of fact, such an uninspiring idiot that his stupidity alone is a sufficient explanation for the ugliness of most computer systems. And oh! Is he uneducated! That is perhaps his most depressing characteristic. He is equally education-resistant as another equally mythical bore, “the average programmer”, whose solid stupidity is the greatest barrier to progress in programming. It is a sad thought that large sections of computing science are effectively paralyzed by the narrow-mindedness and other grotesque limitations with which a poor literature has endowed these influential mythical figures. (Computing science is not unique in inventing such paralyzing caricatures: universities all over the world are threatened by the invention of “the average student”, scientific publishing is severely hampered by the invention of “the innocent reader” and even “the poor reader”!)

That's twice I've screwed that up. Sorry about that! Yeah, and your difficulty explaining the Unicode implementation reminds me of a passage from the Python zen: "If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea." The *implementation* is easy to explain. It's the names of the encodings which I get tangled up in. You're off by one below! ASCII: Supports exactly 127 code points, each of which takes up exactly 7 bits. Each code point represents a character. 128 codepoints. Latin-1, Latin-2, MacRoman, MacGreek, ISO-8859-7, Big5, Windows-1251, and about a gazillion other legacy charsets, all of which are mutually incompatible: supports anything from 127 to 65535 different code points, usually under 256. 128 to 65536 codepoints. UCS-2: Supports exactly 65535 code points, each of which takes up exactly two bytes. That's fewer than required, so it is obsoleted by: 65536 codepoints. etc. UTF-16: Supports all 1114111 code points in the Unicode charset, using a variable-width system where the most popular characters use exactly two- bytes and the remaining ones use a pair of characters. UCS-4: Supports exactly 4294967295 code points, each of which takes up exactly four bytes. That is more than needed for the Unicode charset, so this is obsoleted by: UTF-32: Supports all 1114111 code points, using exactly four bytes each. Code points outside of the range 0 through 1114111 inclusive are an error. UTF-8: Supports all 1114111 code points, using a variable-width system where popular ASCII characters require 1 byte, and others use 2, 3 or 4 bytes as needed. Ignoring the legacy charsets, only UTF-16 is a terribly complicated implementation, due to the surrogate pairs. But even that is not too bad. The real complication comes from the interactions between systems which use different encodings, and that's nothing to do with Unicode. And all these coding schemes have something in common, they work all with a unique set of code points, more precisely a unique set of encoded code points (not the set of implemented code points (byte)). Just what the flexible string representation is not doing, it artificially devides unicode in subsets and try to handle eache subset differently. On this other side, that is because it is impossible to work properly with multiple sets of encoded code points that all these coding schemes exist today. There are simply no other way. Even "exotic" schemes like "CID-fonts" used in pdf are based on that scheme. jmf I entirely agree with the viewpoints of jmfauth, Nick the Greek, rr, Xah Lee and Ilias Lazaridis on the grounds that disagreeing and stating my beliefs ends up with the Python Mailing List police standing on my back doorsetep.

Oh! I know. Function argument defaults will now be restricted to

Alas, tuples won't do it. Fortunately, you can include str and bytes
(unicode and str) and frozenset in the "Good List". Tuples have to go
into the "Bad List" because, although they themselves are immutable,
their contents may not be. Imagine the confusion and horror that poor
developers will experience when they do something like this:
def func(arg, extra=(23, 'foo', [])):
[code goes here...]
extra[2].append("something")
[more code...]
and they've now mutated the immutable default!
Thinking about this, I think that the only safe thing to do in Rickython
4000 is to prohibit putting mutable objects inside tuples. Putting a list
or a dict inside a tuple is just a bug waiting to happen!
How about naming the fork RickedPython 4000, where ricked is defined
here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ricked ?

I was thinking of splitting it up like so:
log.msg("Item wrote to MongoDB database %s/%s"
%(settings['MONGODB_DB'], settings['MONGODB_COLLECTION']),
level=log.DEBUG, spider=spider)
This is how I'd do it: (And it's *FAR* clearer -- You win no points for
clarity by having it all in one statement.)
fmt = "Item wrote to MongoDB database %s/%s"
msg = fmt % (settings['MONGODB_DB'],
settings['MONGODB_COLLECTION'])
log.msg(msg, level=log.DEBUG, spider=spider)
Hear, Hear.
But really, you should be using .format by now :P
My favourite way would be along the lines of:
message = "Item wrote to MongoDB database "
message += "{0[MONGODB_DB]}/{0[MONGODB_COLLECTION]}".format(settings)
log.msg(message, level=log.DEBUG, spider=spider)
I'm sticking with C style formatting, which thankfully isn't going away,
.format indeed.

Re: Unable to import NHunspell.dll using ctypes in Python

Im required to import ha certain dll called 'NHunspell.dll' which is used for

out several websites to properly use ctypes, I have been unable to load the dll

When I use this code.
from ctypes import *
hunspell = cdll.LoadLibrary['Hunspellx64.dll']
I get an error
hunspell = cdll.LoadLibrary['Hunspellx64.dll']
TypeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
I guess it might a problem with the structure of the dll. But I have no idea
how to import the dll properly.
>>> from ctypes import *
>>> help(cdll.LoadLibrary)
Help on method LoadLibrary in module ctypes:
LoadLibrary(self, name) method of ctypes.LibraryLoader instance.
So looks as if you need:-
hunspell = cdll.LoadLibrary('Hunspellx64.dll')
