nit tests for a dynamic language, you don't check for these things at
all. How often do you explicitly check types in Python unit tests?
IMHO, when using a dynamic language, you don't need most of the checks
that Java, C# and their ilk force upon you.

ve liked to say that lists are a fundamental data type, much
more so than a set... but in reality that seems to be a matter of taste
and priorities. Pascal, for example, has a set literal, but no list
literal; in fact, it doesn't even have a built-in list type.

Heh, that's a bug. As a temporary solution, go to textbox.py and
comment out the line in the __events__ dict that says 'Char': wx.EVT_CHAR.
I will need to fix the way Wax handles events like these; this will
probably be solved in the next release.

Sure. This will give you a list of n instances of user:

Of course, you could also use a good old for loop:

u = user()
...do something with u...
Hope this helps!
