JP Morgan underwent a similar transformation . YouTube also has engineers in the thousands and lines of code in the millions . Big products and big teams use Python every day, and while it has excellent modularity and packaging characteristics, beyond a certain point much of the general development scaling advice stays the same. Tooling, strong conventions, and code review are what make big projects a manageable reality." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will be teaching a course called ?Python Programming for Beginners? at UCSC-Extension in Santa Clara. While this course is probably not appropriate for people on this list, perhaps a friend or co-worker might be interested. The course is designed for people with no programming experience and uses Python to teach basic programming concepts. The course meets on Friday nights from 6:30 to 9:30, starts on May 1st, and goes for six weeks. Sign ups are open to the general public, and there is still time to register. The course fee is $580.

You can use either regular string % formatting with all versions of Python or the newer string formatting method in 2.6 and newer: https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/string.html#string-formatting You probably want a special dict class that handles missing keys. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Need a book?
