On monday I start a semester course in Python (the alternative was Java). I was looking through the course outline and noticed the following:
1) UserDict is used. This is deprecated, right? 2) There is no mention of list comprehensions, but map and filter are taught early and then revisited later. I don't think this is good: list comprehensions are, IMO, one of Python's great features, Psyco prefers them, they're more pythonic, and map and filter seem to be going out the window for Python 3000. What do you think? --Max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
