A quick c.l.p netiquette question
I've written a program to illustrate a few... syntactic issues with Python. It's 158 <80 character lines long. About how short should a program be to be postable to this newsgroup - in other words, at what length should you stick it on a web page and post a link?

A rather unpythonic way of doing things
One of my friends has recently taken up Python, and was griping a bit about the language (it's too "prescriptive" for his tastes). In particular, he didn't like the way that Python expressions were a bit crippled. So I delved a bit into the language, and found some sources of syntactic sugar that I could use, and this is the result: http://www.pick.ucam.org/~ptc24/yvfc.html Peter -- A frightful hobgoblin is stalking throughout Europe. - The Communist Manifesto, 1st English Edition -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Still, I like to keep a little formatting for readability.
