a /.../bin/ directory.
A scripting language is a language whose programs are normally
distributed in human-readable form. It is appropriate to call
such a program a script. If the first two characters is "#!"
and the execution bit is set, it is a script in the linux sense.
So as far as
architectures.
So you are disassembling using an Intel disassembler?
How can that make sense if you are on a SUN work station with a
non-Intel processor?

It looks impressive especially from where I stand. ( Formal procedures that
take 6 months, and bad fixes because approved changes were no
good after all.)
So not dead by a margin, and less snake oil than most methodologies
I know of.

Why would it or need it? A Python that understands the ``par''
keyword is supposed to know it can play some tricks with
optimizing reduce() if the specific function is commutative.

Exactly.
An indication of how one can see one is in emacs is also appreciated.

A good sort utility with facilities for records with fields
(using a modified heap sort, and using disk base merge sort for very
large sets) can be find on my site below (called ssort).
Because of the heap sort even the worst case is

somewhat surprising result. Unary operators -- as long as they

I will not promote this style of programming as the ultimate
alternative for everything. (And it breaks down at a point,
sure.)
Bottom line: "Give to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar..."
Not adding a switch to python is a matter of taste,
good taste as far as I'm concerned.

It would be a big win for large precisions.
(Especially if we remember a previous value of pi to start up.)
The trick with temporarily increasing precision could be superfluous.
