Just wanted to quickly link to the Synergy project, which I'm now using. Wow, it is so cool. Anyone who has multiple systems at their desk or sits a laptop beside their desktop's monitor should really take a look at this. Dual screen is one level of cool, but being able to move my mouse across multiple screens running multiple operating systems is a blast, and productive too. Copy and paste and keyboard and mouse can all be shared. Now, I'm very interested in if windows could be dragged between the screens with this one day...
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
