I also like the "Python Essential Reference" a lot.
I'd second that. "Python Essential Reference" effectively documents the
"batteries included" aspect of Python, using lots of good examples in a quite
readable tome.

Having actually used LISP systems with "edit and continue", it's a good
thing that Python doesn't have it. It encourages a "patch" mentality, and
the resulting code is usually disappointing.

CPython compiles Python code (a sequence of statements) to its private
bytecode (a sequence of codes and operands) and then interprets the
bytecode. So 'edit and continue' would have to recompile the stat

rather than having to stop the entire program, fix the line, and then run
again and potentially kill a bunch of time getting the program back into the

Ah, thanks. I was following the example in Beazley's book and should have dug

I have a generic (do nothing) exception class that's coded like this:

def __init__(self,args=None):
self.args = args
When I attempt to raise this exception via 'raise MyError' I get an exception
