I've needed to do something similar in the past and used free ntp
servers. Of course you need an internet connection:

Claiming that sum etc. do the same job is the whimper of
someone who doesn't want to openly disagree with Guido.
Could you give an example where sum cannot do the job(besides the
previously mentioned product situation?
Also, map is easily replaced.

That won't work, because it misses the x*y part of the expression
(x[n]*x[n+1] + 1/x[n+1], for people who haven't immediately read the
grandparent).

Guido gave a nice "Python Regrets" Power Point talk at OSCON few years
ago.
I was wondering if the plan is to ever implement these ideas.
e.g. Guido said he'd prefer 'print' to be a *function* with perhaps a
'println' version IIRC.
He also had a ton of stuff he'd rather see become iterato

encouraged).

Thanks! Even the fact that these ideas
have been organized into a PEP is
exciting to methere is hope that
they may *someday* be implemented. Maybe sooner than people think.
Another reason to love Python like no other.

Hi all,
Sure I'm able to publish the code, only the previous version though. If
you want the first version; find Josh Cogliati, and ask him. It didn't have
a random function, though. I got the idea to improve it from my computer
course.
Here is the code:
