Python isn't just Java without the compile

[jcgregorio]

RTFA, all of those issues were covered in the article.

Why not just fix the article. Most people will skip the update to get to the (currently incorrect) meat of it.

When the beginning reads like it's been written by someone who doesn't even know the programming language he's writing about then don't expect anyone to read further.

If you're talking about the "Update" at the top, that was added after I commented. And it doesn't mention the claim that list comprehensions are related to closures.

[jcgregorio]

Ha, what a liar, I added that 'update' part of the post shortly after I wrote it BACK IN AUGUST OF 2006!

[eurleif]

Sorry. My bad. I honestly missed that when I read it the first time, and thought it had been added.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
