I prefer to just break such things into multiple lines. You're doing that
already anyhow, it's not much of a speed hit, and it makes exactly what
you're testing explicit. If I break a statement onto multiple lines I only
use parenthesis, and that is as a last resort. In my opinion there's almost

Sorry if this is the wrong ng/ml, but thought I'd better flag this up
somewhere.

The major Red Hat based Linux distros are still shipping with Python 2.4.
As a result, almost all hosting providers are running obsolete versions of

The big problem seems to be that "cPanel" and "yum" still use older versions
of Python, and those programs are more important to distro

Tkinter doesn't wrap native printing API's. There are a few extensions
