[Tutor] How do I (idiomatically) determine when I'm looking at the last entry in a list?

Afternoon, Python 3. I'm iterating through a list and I'd like to know when I'm at the end of the said list, so I can do something different. For example list_of_things = ['some', 'special', 'things'] for each_entry in list_of_things: print(each_entry) if

[Tutor] Messy - Very Messy string manipulation.

Hi Guys, I've written a script to remove vowels from a string/sentence. the while loop I'm using below is to take care of duplicate vowels found in a sentence, ie anti_vowel('The cow moos louder than the frog') It works, but obviously its messy and n00by. Any suggestions on how I can write

[Tutor] Demystification of Lambda Functions

Hello, I am not sure exactly why there would be a practical use for a lambda function, other than the fact that you can make one-liner functions that take parameters in to a variable. Or at least that is how things look when they are written. Can I have some demystification? Thanks,
