Can we re define "small tiny" as "scripts"?
i can argue, based on my expirience with other languages, that there is no
need for an "ide". The most ive ever needed is a text editor and a few

I have noticed that in many if conditions the following syntax is used:

I am using Python 2.7.14 on MacOS Sierra.
I have a small Python program that calls a shell script in a loop with a
time.sleep() in it.
The shell script is called with subprocess.Popen(), followed by a
subprocess.wait().
No information is exchanged with the shell script.

If there is only one possible message then the entropy is zero.
