Re: How explain why Python is easier/nicer than Lisp which has a simpler grammar/syntax?

A few comments come to mind about this discussion about TCO. First, TCO, Tail Call Optimization, is talking about something that is an optimization. Optimizations, are generally some OPTIONAL improvement in the method of executing the code that doesn't alter its DEFINED meaning. First big point,

print the output of my code in Markdown using variable (not the value)

Hi, I am still at an early stage of my personal Python evolution. I am coding Python3 in Jupyter Notebook (Anaconda environment). I want to print the output of my code in a 'markdown'. I want to use the variable in the 'markdown' rather than typing the output. This would save my time every time

Does the word "public" mean world-wide, or perhaps only amongst your work-colleagues? Only among work-colleagues. We only want that anyone writing and running python scripts on particular hosts, can easily import these modules/packages. Of possible interest:- Private Python package managem

Sorry, didn't read well, Apart the other suggestion, you (or your sysop) can create a private Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/private-pypi/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
