Re: Python 411.
What exactly is 411 in this context? A reference to higher education perhaps? Or perhaps part of the American constitution? What exactly? Also for that matter what is 101? Cheers, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't know about 411, but 101 refers to basic or entry-level courses at universities in the United States. I gathered something like that from context after seeing many references to it; then I finally decided to look it up to be sure about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101_%28number%29 under In other fields. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So, it has a slang usage meaning something like information. Introductory university course in a field are often numbered 101 (i.e. Computer Science 101). So, that number has acquired a slang meaning of basic and introductory information. Where I did my undergrad studies, a few Departments had 001 classes. Somehow that felt more honest ;-) Best to all, Brian vdB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Python 411.
Steve, thanks for the note. The name Python411 comes from me copying my good friend Rob Walch, who named his podcast Podcast411, which is a popular show on which he interviews other podcasters like Adam Curry etc. He also has a book just published about podcasting.

Course numbering varies by college/university, but I think typically 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, and 4xx are aimed at students in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 majoring in that subject. Pre-100 courses would be remedial or aimed or even limited to non-major students. So a Math department might have 023 Business Math that would not count toward the math units needed to get a BS in math. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python 411.
Hi folks New to the group. As a newbie to Python I`d just like to plug Ron Stephens web site which contains many excellent articles, podcasts and much Python stuff to help beginners like me. No doubt many already use it and listen to his weekly podcasts. http://www.awaretek.com/python/index.html Cheers and many thanks Ron Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
