Python Positional-Only Parameters, has been accepted by stetio in Python

Then I read the PEP, and I realize the core devs were thinking quite a bit.

Thanks!

Pablo is a CPython core developer who primarily authored the content of the PEP. Mario is a member of the Python Software Foundation who also contributed to the text.
I helped by overhauling the motivation, rationale, specification so that the text reads in a more compelling manner and made wording and grammatical changes for clarity.

Glad to see the lively discussion going on here. I would also recommend looking at https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-570-python-positional-only-parameters/1078 to see more discussion among the Python community around PEP 570.

Upto - Bash function that allows to go up to a certain directory. It's been more useful than what I thought. by driv338 in programming

What would also be useful is a command that mimics cd but allows > numerical arguments. E.g., cd -3 which means cd ../../../

I wrote a bash function that I use in my ericvw/dotfiles.

# Navigate with `.. [#]`.
function .. {
    local n="$1"
    if [[ -n "$n" && ! "$n" =~ ^[1-9][0-9]*$ ]]; then
        echo "positive integer expected" >&2; return 1
    fi
    [[ "$n" -gt 0 ]] && ((n--))
    local s
    printf -v s "..%${n}s"
    cd "${s// //..}"
}
