Re: if the else short form
True == 1 True False == 0 True int(True) 1 int(False) 0 bool(1) True bool(0) False But: str(fill==True)+',' is simpler than: (False,, True,)[fill==True] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: easy question on parsing python: is not None
x is y means id(y) == id(y) x is not y means id(x) != id(x) x is not None means id(x) != id(None) x is not None is a really silly statement!! because id(None) and id of any constant object is not predictable! I don't know whay people use is instead of ==. you should write if x!=None instead of x is not None -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't know whay people use is instead of ==. you should write if x!=None instead of x is not None Although small objects are unique in the memory (with a unique id) and using is works ok, but that's not logical to compare id's when we actually want to compare values! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python why questions
1) Why do Python lists start with element [0], instead of element [1]? Common sense would seem to suggest that lists should start with [1]. Because Zero is the neutral element of addition operation. And indexes (and all adresses in computing) involve with addition much more than multiplication! That's too clear i think and that's silly to use One as first index of arrays/lists in a programming language! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: unicode issue
I recommend to use UTF-8 coding(specially in GNU/Linux) then write this in the second line: #-*- coding: latin-1 -*- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
