For the first time in my 7 years of using Gmail, I accidentally
deleted my original post and it's one reply by casevh. I found both in
the list archive, and with this post both quote casevh's reply and
answer it. Sorry about my screw up.

I saw an interesting proof of the limit of The Euler Series on
math.stackexchange.com at
http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/8337/different-methods-to-compute-sum-n-1-infty-frac1n2.
Scroll down to Hans Lundmark's post.
I thought I'd try to see this pinching down on the limit of pi**2/6.

I can't figure out how to get IDLE to wrap text pasted in from, say, a
newspaper article. Usually, a each paragraph will appear as one long
unwrapped line, with no way to read the whole line, because no
horizontal bar is created. I haven't found anything about this in

I recently wrote some code that prints information about the 'jukugo'
used in Japanese newspaper articles. A jukugo is a Japanese word
written with at least 2 kanji. An example of a 2-kanji jukugo is 危機
(kiki -- crisis). I found that I could not use my usual IDE to render

Machin's Equation is

Using Python 3.1 and the math module:

(4*atan(.2) - atan(1/239))*4
