What exactly is an "Implementation of Python" ?
Warning: New learner here Not sure what the term means "implementation of Python". So what exactly does it mean *"implementation of Python"* like cpython, Jython, IronPython ? In terms of IronPython --- does it mean a Python programmer can write .Net app in Python ? Thanks examples and ANALOGIES if possible, very welcomed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Can you tell us what book it is ? If this is just your first and only book so far, IMO, I think you can look at another one or two I recently re-discovered Steven Lott's excellent free book "Building Skills in Python" (http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/ python.html#book-python) and then there is the popular "Think Python" by Allen Downey -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
on "Namespaces"
New bie Question: in "Zen of Python" - what exactly does the last one mean ? - Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! I mean why the emphasis ? Is it like saying "put modules into packages" in other programming paradigm s ? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
