which rows are to be used for which purpose. Later,
when using the data, you include a CONDITION that row X is true, or
whatever.

You wrote about 140 or more lines, but didn't come close to answering
the question: how to randomly split data from a dictionary into training
data and reserved data.

python consistently
enough has everything being object-oriented. R started off without and has
grafted on at least a dozen variations which can be a tad annoying.

Steve,
I am going to just respond to one part of your message and will snip the

Hi Avi,

Note, I do not intend to mention Mark again in future messages. I do not
actually want to annoy him and wish he would live and let live.

I can't speak for others, but for me, that could be because of a number

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask

In Python, it is traditional to use "self" rather
method like pop() to suddenly return the list with a member dropped but it
