Re: Is there a better way to code variable number of return arguments?

This is an interesting alternative. If one wants to generate everything and return it at one shot, the list approach is better, but there are situations where generating things incrementally is preferrable, e.g., because the caller doesn't know a priori how many things he wants. I will try th

Persistent Distributed Objects

I am interested in seeing how it would be possible in python to have persistent objects (basically be able to save objects midway through a computation, etc) and do so across multiple computers. Something that would allow for memory, disk space, processing power, etc to be distributed across the n
