Try the Library Reference, section 2.3.8 Mapping Types. (Perhaps confusing to a newcomer, but Pythons dicts are, as yet, its only standard mapping types, mapping being the general comp sci concept.) Best, Brian vdB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: returning True, False or None

the first if it evaluates to False, otherwise it returns the second. >>> [] and 42 [] >>> The idea is that the evaluation breaks out as soon as it has seen enough to determine the result. Hence, short circuit. And, instead of returning a Boolean, it returns the actual object fla

Re: empty classes as c structs?

understand the PEP draft aright, the idea is quite similar -- a python object with no internal structure other than that imposed by what the programmer decides to put into it.

d way, 3) using the now guaranteed to be there installation of Python, run your Python script that does all of your custom installation, and 4) if step (2) added a Python installation other than the one added by step (3), perhaps remove it.
