Somehow all of the above discussions did not mention having examples or
demos "built-in" for the language itself:
majorfunction.example()
demo("package") or package.demo()
search engine in local html documentation
apropos()
The statistical software R is bettter in this respect

Is there a conceptual difference between
best =test[:]
and
best = [x for x in test] ?
test is a list of real numbers. Had to use the second form to avoid a
nasty bug
in a program I am writing. I have to add too that I was using psyco
in Python 2.5.1.

Ernie.
