Coinciding with my entry into self employment, I have decided to start a small webcomic, by suggestion of a good friend. I rushed the first strip, doing it in about an hour, but I wanted to start it on the same day as my first day working for myself. It is entitled "SelfUnEmployment" and I hope you will enjoy it. I was hoping to start up something more creative, as I have ignored my writing and painting for far too long. This is a good way to exercise those lost talents, again.
At a small suggestion in #python, I wrote up a simple module that allows the use of many python statements in places requiring statements. This post serves as the announcement and documentation. You can find the release here . The pattern is the statement's keyword appended with a single underscore, so the first, of course, is print_. The example writes 'some+text' to an IOString for a URL query string. This mostly follows what it seems the print function will be in py3k. print_("some", "text", outfile=query_iostring, sep="+", end="") An obvious second choice was to wrap if statements. They take a condition value, and expect a truth value or callback an an optional else value or callback. Values and callbacks are named if_true, cb_true, if_false, and cb_false. if_(raw_input("Continue?")=="Y", cb_true=play_game, cb_false=quit) Of course, often your else might be an error case, so raising an exception could be useful
