I am trying to write an algorithms library in Python. Most of the
functions will accept functions as parameters. For instance, there is
a function called any:
def any(source, predicate):
for item in source:
if predicate(item):
return true;
return false;
There are some

I am writing a simple algorithms library that I want to work for both
Python 2.7 and 3.x. I am writing some functions like distinct, which
work with dictionaries under the hood. The problem I ran into is that
I am calling itervalues or values depending on which version of the
language I am working
I was a little disappointed the other day when I realized that
closures were read-only. I like to use closures quite a bit.
Can someone explain why this limitation exists? Secondly, since I can
cheat by wrapping the thing being closure-ified, how can I write a
simple wrapper that has all the same

Ah, okay. It would be really useful for unit testing. Unf

to know if I am following conventions (overall style and quality of
code).

e doesn't look like it handles time zones at all. I guess, is
there a way to tell xmlrpclib to include time zones when parsing date
times?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It will be cool to see how the
interpreter works internally. I am still wonder whether designing the
language (going on 4 months now) will be harder than implementing it.
