Hi
List,
I wanted to write to
ask about help reading the Python documentation.
I found a really
neat technique on the web using a built in called "apply", with it you can do
struct.pack() using an array for the values. I can't find the technique in
the release documentation and what's there says apply is deprecated, use the new
function (**args, *kwargs) or something like that. That has to be one of
the most inscrutable things I've ever seen in print.
I also saw
a technique for building a dictionary out of two arrays, which I also can't
read:
dict([(['one', 'two'][i-2], i) for i in (2,3)])
Is this just
something that I have to get accustomed to or are there pointers that help us
read python-speak better?
Any explanation of
the usage of function and the loop for building dictionaries will be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Frank
