Python: over a 1/2 century of experience that significant white space in a language is bad, thrown out the window.

  Re: significant white space in a language is bad
  I think Python is a neat language, with many nice features that make it fun to use. It is currently my first resort for new programming projects.
  
  And yet, I have to agree that attaching significance to whitespace in the way that it does—and inconsistently, to boot—is one of the few instances of genuine brain-damage in the language.

    I agree on all counts. Python's a great language. It's not my default go-to language, but it's in my top 5 favorites. However, that whitespace thing is horrible.

You're missing some semi-colons so it doesn't compute. Sorry. :-)

  Re:
  Python doesn't need semicolons, unless you are putting multiple statements on one line. Sounds like you need to take the course ;)

They fixed it. :-)
Semicolons are optional in Python. Either your style is to always use them or never use them, not some mix-and-match. :-)
The preferred style is to not use them.

Also, you're not supposed to underline some of the strings. Either use underline for all string constants or no string constants. This doesn't read properly. :)

  Re:
  The visible linking of a couple strings is a concession to the need for clear links in this post -- a post which I think you may be starting to take a little too seriously :)

    Re: Re:
    I'm not taking it seriously. :-) But my head gets confused by all the styling issues in the code, so it doesn't compile in my head.
    Besides, it would not be a big problem to make the other strings to link to some page, thus making them the same style. :-)

Python 2 Or Python 3?
That “(object)” tends to point to Python 2...
