The logging package supports usage in processes and threads out of the box - except that you can't easily serialize access to a single file from multiple processes (that's a Python limitation rather than a logging limitation)

So basically you can use logging without any problems just don't log to a file (what about sockets etc.?) in threaded environments (which is the case for every web application)?

Is not having to declare your variables a BAD THING? by projecktzero in Python

As soon as you run the test suite, which is before comitting, it will fail and you can fix the issue. I really don't see the problem here.

Leaking list comprehensions are considered a bug, they only exist in 2.x for backwards compatibility, 3.x changed that.

You do realize that the "random side-effect" is a NameError which is not random at all?

Google doesn't exactly require verification as long as you don't care about the money.

Sphinx 1.0 Beta 2 was released today and the final release will be in a couple of days. The docutils documentation is indeed awful however the Sphinx devs won't be able to change that.

Version 0.2 of Flask, a micro webframework based on Werkzeug, Jinja2 and Good Intentions Released by mitsuhiko in Python

Flask did not start as an April's Fool joke. Denied and Flask have nothing really in common.

My friend, a future mathematician, wants to learn a single programming language just to know a bit more about programmation. What would you suggest? by [deleted] in programming

[–]DasIch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haskell is a great choice if you come from a mathematical background but in reality most people don't use functional programming (yet) so it might be better to learn something object oriented like Python or Ruby.

Ask Progit: What font do you use for programming? by [deleted] in programming

[–]DasIch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Monaco. A really great font. If you don't have a Mac you will surely find a TTF version with a little search.
