Hi all
I'm pleased to announce 2 newly published articles in The Python Papers

That's very kind of you but I don't think it would be particularly fitted to my

"pixels" which is defined by RGBA value. My program needs to access and
modifies every component of every pixels in the image following a set o

thank you guys for the huge list of answers,
In my setting I have to access some routers and firewall from a

I think I'll try Fabric.

Hi,
is there a way building an OrderedDict faster?
Thanks in advance
