Brent,
You could write the Python program as a proxy of the internet stream.
Basically, you would point your proxy at the web stream and receive
the data it sends. At the same time, you would be listening for
connections on some socket on the local machine. You would then point
winamp towards the
vely, zc and zC close it non- and recursively. zr opens all
folds one level, zR opens them all recursively, zm closes them all one
level, and zM closes them all recursively.
It's pretty sweet. Maybe we should have a big Vim-python tip-a-thon thread?

string.
I agree with everything said here. Furthermore, I don't like this PEP
because it introduces magic. When reading code, you just need to
magically know what the double-comma does in a print statement. Yes,
there are bits of magic involved in the solutions that already exist,
but I am o
rouping, and do not
unambiguously define a tuple. It's a python gotcha. To define a
one-tuple, put a comma after the '1':
>>>type(('1',))

you shouldn't have to; post your code if you still think you do.

e, since the need to create
empty tuples is vanishingly rare, I'm okay with a little
inconsistency.

v1, v2 = v1.split('.'), v2.split('.')
for x, y in zip(v1, v2):
if x < y: return v1
if y > x: return v2
It assumes that v1 and v2 have the same amount of '.'s and that all of
the version numbers are of the same length (i.e
half your colons, you're spending upwards
of 20 seconds per colon?
If you want, I'll write a script that checks for colons at the end of
lines before increased indentation, and asks you if you want to put
one there - I could save you 5.8 minutes per 100 lines of code. How's
that for a productivity boost?

the problem. Also, item is a much clearer name than stack; I chose
stack just to point out how similar the solution to objection 2 was to
yours.

Down with eval! Exile exec! A pox on both their houses!
(i.e. I respectfully disagree that mixing data with program code is a bad idea)

Naturally, I wasn't suggesting that anyone (shudder) do things like
your examples of poor code. I had a much smaller point, about which I
was not clear: Sometimes, it is handy to mix code and data. There
*are* legitimate uses of reflection, eval, and exec.
I was too glib in my response to you. I intended no disrespect, only silliness.

because a
variable is simply a name binding doesn't mean Python couldn't return
the name of the binding.
I'm not definitely saying that I *want* an easy name() function -
there's a lot of potential for abuse - but I would at least like to
see it accomplished before I decide whether I like it or not.

I use := every day in PL/SQL, and it's one of the few positive

What the others have said already is true, that it will be ignored on
windows, with one caveat. The shebang is interpreted by Apache if your
