Which more Pythonic - self.__class__ or type(self)?

[avi.e.gross at gmail.com]

Great idea, DN!

A whole series of books can be written such as:

- Python for virgin dummies who never programmed before.
- Python for former BASIC programmers
- Python for former LISP programmers with a forked tongue
- Python for former Ada Programmers
- Python for ...
- Python for those who find a dozen former languages are simply not enough.
- Python for people who really want to mainly  use the modules like pandas
or sklearn ...
- Pythonic upgrades to the methods used in former inferior languages ...
- How to speak with a Pythonese accent and lose you old accent based on your
former native language(s).

I am sure some books along these lines have already been written!

Who wants to collaborate?

With ph agree I do...

or do you want that in a DO-loop with a FORMAT?
