While this thread is indeed a theoretical discussion of the interpreter,
for a practical solution where you control the host environment, one might
look into OS level sandboxing like FreeBSD's Jails (not to be confused with
a simple chroot environment) along with various resource limiting
parameter
, but it is impossible to
control *what* information flows. (Due to the possibility of nested
encoding, stenography, etc.) Was this a Claude Shannon thing or Alan Turing
or... I really don't recall. Thoughts?
Cheers!

uding what could otherwise have been useful bits of
publicly available code - a charitable work of skilled labor - I think we
will
have lost something far more valuable than having a G-rated module index.
That said, I appreciate and try to express professionalism in all that I do
and
encourage others to do the same but I also embrace the freedom of myself and
others to choose - even if I think that choice is sexist and distasteful.
I would rather experience the freedom of having the full latitude of life,
decision and emotion, than to cower in fear of being offended by the world
at
large. To think that I would be capable of being offended by the
arrangement of
a glyph in a programming package index, is a ridiculous thought indeed.
Yup.

comfortable with that. (Eww... but even it has good parts.) If you decide to
get seriously invested in digital content creation software (i.e. Maya, etc)
most of those are scripted in Python. Maya used to be all MEL (and the MEL
interpreter is still supported) but most new code for proprietary tools
start my development with.

If you don't already know this from scientific computing, learning some raw
SQL
is quite useful too! Sometimes you need a non-trivial query.

# Output looks like this:
# Counter({(2, 4): 2, (4, 5): 1, (3, 4): 1, (2, 1): 1})
You then have access to methods to return the most common items, etc. See more
examples here:

gic. (Again we're going deeper.) Sometimes a backend-specific module is
called for, in which case psycopg2 on postgresql is nice. The ability to use
python context managers as transaction blocks is very clean.
In short, how much do you want to learn? Do you prefer a top-down or bottom-up
approach? Gritty details or elegant abstractions?

ard library have no obligation to do anything useful,

In theory everything should just work. I tested the above example and it seemed

rate a contractor's quality of workmanship and efficiency by the
number of nails he drives?
Of course not. That would be ridiculous.
A better metric of code quality and complexity would be to borrow from science
and mathematics. i.e. a peer review or audit by others working on the project
or in the same field of study. Unfortunately this isn't cheap or easily
computed and doesn't translate nicely to a bar graph.
Such is reality.
