What method did you use to create the exe file from your python scripts? If it
was pyinstaller, then it puts the compiled versions of these python scripts in
a windows temp folder when you run them. You’ll be able to get the scripts from

Cheers,

It's actually "baroque", not "baraque", and Cameron has the right idea -
lavish, extravagant, overly complicated.

for instance, rather than hard-coding values
on where to find glib (or other libraries). It is language-agnostic, so
it can be used for defining the location of documentation tools, for
instance."

nternally
to the correct path separators for your operating system.
Another way is to replace the backslashes with os.sep, which is a
portable representation of the native path separator.
A third way is to escape all literal backslashes by doubling them - "\\"
instead of "\"
exists). Q gets the data intended for P.
There are all sorts of theoretical vulnerabilities that simply don't
manifest in real life. I think this is one of them.

have morphed into large, monolithic,
bloated language *systems* that do many things in many domains, and have
many ways to do the *same* thing, but none of it particularly well.
Throwing more processor horsepower and more GB of memory at the problem
can only mask it for so long.

7;ve already hit a wall performance-wise. Physics only allows so many
electrons to flow through a nm-sized pipe. Now, the "solution" is to
keep adding more cores. But that doesn't help if an application doesn't
lend itself to a multi-threaded design. So, software efficie
the general craft of
programming, not a specific language.
Since 10,000 hours is about 5 years in a 9-5 setting, I'd say that's
about right.
As I'm sure you've experienced, picking up a second language after
mastering the general craft of programming takes far less time.
act number of hours *is* foolish - but nobody was
doing that. I was simply pointing out that you used three vastly
different numbers in almost the same breath to describe how long it
takes a person to master something.
I think we both get the idea - let's back out of this rabbit
ow being farmed out overseas as black
box bids. After I retired, my team was sent to China to "train" a new
group (read brain dump), and was then summarily disbanded.
