[Edu-sig] Re: A better way?

[Jeff Sandys]

I showed this thread at the SeaPIG meeting and we 
talked about handling attributes.  I pointed out 
that the dot is an operator and that you can have 
a space between the dot, and the group didn't 
believe me until they tried it.

>>> s = "my string"
>>> s . split()
['my', 'string']

I think by showing the students that dot is an 
operator helps them understand what is going on 
and they might not be so concerned about making 
the long variable and method dotted chains.

Thanks,
Jeff Sandys
