Hi Fredrik
you brought up some terse and
somehow expressive lines with
their own beauty ...

> g = (m[1] for m in re.findall(r, t))
>
> or
> process(m[1] for m in re.findall(r, t))

> ... avoid creating the tuples, ... finditer instead:
> l = [m.group(2) for m in re.finditer(r, t)]
> g = (m.group(2) for m in re.finditer(r, t))
>
> finditer is also a good tool to use
> for m in re.finditer(r, t):
> s = m.group(2)
> ... process s in some way ...
... which made me wish to internalize such wisdom too ;-)
This looks almost beautiful, it made me stand up and
go to some large book stores in order to grab a good
book on python.
Sadly, there were none (except one small 'dictionary',
ISBN: 3826615123). I live in a fairly large city
in Germany w/three large bookstores in the center,
where one can get loads of PHP and Java books, lots
of C/C++ and the like - even some Ruby books (some
"Rails" too) on display (WTF).
Not that I wouldn't order books (I do that all the
time for 'original versions') but it makes one
sad-faced to see the small impact of the Python
language here today on bookstore-tournarounds ...
Thanks & regards
Mirco
