[issue29390] Python Tutorial should introduce iterators and generators

[issue28164] _PyIO_get_console_type fails for various paths

Steve Dower added the comment: I'm okay with this patch. We move closer to being right without degrading the normal case, and I don't think the edge cases are important (and the behavior in those cases will be acceptable). With a couple of tests to make sure the path comparisons don't get

Michael Torrie wrote: He was saying that you can use the explicit self paradigm in C#. Simply prefix each member variable with "this." One can do that in one's own code, but it doesn't help you to read the code of someone else who hasn't done that. Since it's not part of the C# culture, the
