In "The Zen of Python", one of the "maxims" is "flat is better than nested"? Why? Can anyone give me a concrete example that illustrates this point?
TIA! ~kj PS: My question should not be construed as a defense for "nested". I have no particular preference for either flat or nested; it all depends on the situation; I would have asked the same question if the maxim had been "nested is better than flat". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
