Building python-svn from source

First of all, I apologize if this would be more appropriate for python- dev, but I don't normally subscribe to that list, and felt it would also be of general use, so I'm having problems building the latest Python 2.6 and 3.0 from subversion, and I'm not sure how to resolve the problem. In

Python equivalent of call/cc?

Yesterday, I was hacking around a bit, trying to figure out how to implement the semantics of call/cc in Python. Specifically, I wanted to translate this Scheme code to equivalent Python: (define theContinuation #f) (define (test) (let ((i 0)) (call/cc (lambda (k) (set! theCont

Change in interactive interpreter?

I remember the interactive interpreter used to define the name _ to return the value of the last expression that was evaluated. However, I tried it just today and got a NameError. Is this a change in the interpreter or is there a configuration option I need to set to enable it? Thanks! -- c

I've been wondering for a while about whether assigning to __class__ is bad form or not. Specifically, I mean doing so when some other method of implementing the functionality you're after is available (i.e. using an adapter, or something like the strategy pattern). To give an example and a no
