Great idea, DN! A whole series of books can be written such as:
- Python for virgin dummies who never programmed before. - Python for former BASIC programmers - Python for former LISP programmers with a forked tongue - Python for former Ada Programmers - Python for ... - Python for those who find a dozen former languages are simply not enough. - Python for people who really want to mainly use the modules like pandas or sklearn ... - Pythonic upgrades to the methods used in former inferior languages ... - How to speak with a Pythonese accent and lose you old accent based on your former native language(s). I am sure some books along these lines have already been written!

With ph agree I do... or do you want that in a DO-loop with a FORMAT? -- Regards, =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
