Hi Jim,
Thanks! I will go through them once I got time!
I will be having my exam for internship this Saturday,
would it be helpful for me to practice a various range of questions?
Or just keep my pace of doing the tic_tac_toe, hexapawn, and
numeral_translation?


best,
Fandi

Also mentioned at the ??, was the International Obfuscated C 
Code Contest[1], from which one can learn from truly deviant 
multi-layered obfuscation. There was some speculation/joking 
about starting an International Obfuscated Python Code Contest.

Of course, one doesn't have to try to write obfuscated Perl. 
Code written in Perl has already reached nirvana. :-)

Hi Joshua,

That's pretty cool!  I didn't know OpenOffice/LibreOffice had such a robust
Python interface.  I can see that making it very easy to automate tasks or
build spreadsheets.  I know there are a few members of the group who have
used Python to populate MSOffice documents, but it seemed to me it wasn't
nearly as straight-forward as your script.

I know it's been a while since you sent this... I have been very bad at
keeping up with email this winter :-(.  If you've made some improvements,
I'd love to see them as I'm sure others would as well.  Also, if you want,
I'm sure people would be interested in learning about the OpenOffice
interface and what it can do... either a lightning talk or full talk at a
future Python group meeting would be welcomed.

The only specific comment I have is that you don't need all those "pass"
statements.  Are you using them for your own benefit to help you with
visualizing the code blocks?

Best Regards,
Eric
