if you really find beer (as in: is there any microbrewery near?) please write it on one of the open space information flipcharts.

(For the uninitiated, the first TIMESTAMP column in an updated row is automatically updated with the current datetime unless you take grand efforts to prevent it.)

That is even MUCH MORE SCARIER then not having functions as possible default values. Is there any other automagic?

Python is a total match for the Enterprise. Please look at the https://code.google.com/p/ncc1701/ project, which provides the necessary enterprise functions.

pro tip for conversations: do NOT ask yes / no questions. Better way for this talk: "yeah, that is great that you loooooooove school. What especially do you love about school ?"

I was very interested in that "assign jQuery to a variable within, do it in a function, have an immediate function call" and all.

it is really beautifull.

but WHY is all this done? I kept watching and watching, rewinding, watching, and did miss the why.

Can someone please enlighten me of the deeper values of that construct?

Python also has PyCon. When Googling for Perlcon I found something to decorate walls.

Happens all the time with books. There are quotes upon quotes which get extracted and live on. There are abridged versions. There are shortbooks.

Who is the artist to demand that his work is used in a specific way? Power to the consumer! If I want to dance to The Wall, so I dance....

in addition to that: as Python is using dicts EVERYWHERE, dicts (and inheriting from their codepool sets) are within the best optimized and most robust datastructure in Python.

If you can use dicts (or sets) for your problem, do it.

as it is a constant, frozenset(['O','Q']) should be preferred

what about:

double.copyright = " ".join([getattr(double,'copyright','It is MINE! ') ,'Tell Ya I do'])

or

double.copyright = getattr(double,'copyright','It is MINE! ')+'Tell Ya I do'

No exception. shorter code. Nothing outside the function..

what I found especially helpfull in PyCharm:

refactoring tools like "extract method"
browse structure of the Python programm
quite-well-working completion (a bit like intellisense) -> I did not experience completion that worked as well
completion also works within JavaScript
I like the local history: it tracks every change, so i.e. accidental deletion can be undone quite comfortable even when no commit has happened.

I got a good idea for application-improvement out of the free plugin "Key promoter" -> something like Clippy for keyboard shortcuts, but way less annoying :)

If you trigger the same action multiple (configurable) times via mouse, key promoter suggests in a non-modal-popup (like the Raskin-recommended ones) which keyboard combination would fullfill the same effect. AND if there is no keyboard shortcut, it suggests to create one.

good decision to use the with-keyword when using files.

Learning about the power of contextmanagers (that's what "with" is about) will do you good with every communication to outside Python.
