I have a suggestion about the Python tutorial for improvement. Specifically
about in Python tutorial 4.7.5 lambda forms.

doesn't know functional

@ Terry Jan Reedy
If there is an issue in place for improving the lambda forms then that's good.
I wanted a link about functional programming because it is mentioned as if it
were a household word.

The problem with that documentation link is that it says the bugs in that
documentation should be mailed at that e-mail address. But the PEPs are not the
part of the documentation. I am saying that PEPs are not its part because when

Currently the documentation download includes a lot of things but PEPs are not
its part. I wanted to suggest that PEPs should be included in the download.
They are very much relevant to Python.

I do depend on offline documentation. I have both Python2 and 3's documentation
offline. A lot of people have 24-hour access to internet but a lot of people
don't have. And while moving around it isn't always possible to have internet
then offline documentation is really helpful.

You need to install PySide for GUI development. You don't need Qt Creator. When
you have PySide installed there is a Qt Designer in your python installation
directory. You use that for drag and drop GUI development. Search google for
PySide and you'll find tutorials for that.

Python 2.7.6 release candidate 1 and 3.3.3 release candidate 1 was released
yesterday. Also Python 3.4.0 alpha 4 was released a week ago.
I thought as Python 3.4.0 alpha was released 3.3 branch was done. The 3.3.3
release candidate fixes many bugs as per the changelog so would they be
included

I read in these groups that asyncio is a great addition to Python 3. I have
looked around and saw the related PEP which is quite big BTW but couldn't find
a simple explanation for why this is such a great addition. Any simple example
where it can be used?
It can be used to have a queue of
I haven't worked with asynchronous tasks or concurrent programming so far. Used
VB2010 and have used some jQuery in a recent project but nothing low level.
As per the explanation it seems that programming using asyncio would require
identifying blocks of code which are not dependent on the IO.
The Python website is undergoing an overhaul for better looks. Is there
anything like a forum where it is being discussed. I mean where the schedule
for this is being maintained or the same is being discussed?

Yeah, as I mentioned I was able to use it to create .py files and the GUI ran.
