  • A Journey to Python

    A Journey to Python by Alex Martelli, 2006 recipient of the Frank Willison Award After a quarter century of experience in programming (once as a sideline of my main job as a hardware designer, at Texas Instruments and IBM Research, but as my main job for over half that time, at IBM Research and Cad.Lab/think3), I finally stumbled upon Python in 1999.

For instance, the list [97, 98, 99] should be converted to the string 'abc'. Let's assume we want to write a function to do this. The first version I came ...
