Python is beautiful (nearly as beautiful as Prograph (but that's another story)). I'm a BIG fan of human readable code, I loved HyperCard and pathelogically refused to get my head past Perl. But there a few irritants that I really need to know why they're there. 1. ":" This smacks of geek...surely the interpreter could figure out if this wasn't there...couldn't it? Surely there's a workaround for someone like me. Isn't there? What if I "promised" never to write one-line functions, could I do without it then? 2."elif" Boy this is awkward, I though "elseif" was bad but "elif" !! Can I use/implement alternatives "elseif" would be a start "else if" would be better...more natural. I love the fact that with Python it's OK (nay encouraged) to document code. I can live with the "__whatever__" methods but ":" and "elif" are so ugly that as I'm showing someone how cool Python is, I get embarrased...and make excusesalong the lines of"yes, yes, I know, but look how easy it is to create a subclass of Animal..." cheers tom Even if the elif was not there, there would be something else to complain about it. My advise take the bad with the good. Also, there is more power in the "else" , for example, you can do an else to a "for" statement - which is nice and can't even be done in C.

Re: [Zope] DCOracle hit by new [].append() behavior?
From what I understand ( reading what has changed in Python 1.6 ), you can make
the arguements a tuple and you should be okay. like so:
out.append( (buf,dbsize,dbtype,ind,alen,arcode, f) )
Let me know,
Luis.

Looks to me like DCOracle doesn't comply to the definition of
[].append(), and has thus been bitten by Guido's changes to make this
behavior more strictly enforced.
Has anyone already done the necessary patches, or shall I do it myself?

Re: [Zope] Arrg! dtml-in can't handle lists of pairs!
I have confirmed that this is strange behavior can be reproduced on 2.1.6 --
why I don't know. A work around may be to convert your tuples to lists (easy to
do in python) sample working code:
dtml-var standard_html_header
h4Iterate over 3.tuples/h4
dtml-let list="[('a','b','c'),('d','e','f')]"
dtml-in list
dtml-var sequence-itembr
dtml-in sequence-item
dtml-var sequence-item/br
/dtml-in
/dtml-in
/dtml-let
h4Iterate Over 2-tuples/h4
! My change here --
dtml-let list="[['a','b'],['c','d']]"
dtml-var listbr
dtml-in list
dtml-var sequence-itembr
dtml-try
dtml-in sequence-item
dtml-var sequence-item/br
/dtml-in
dtml-except
h4Why can't I do this!/h4
/dtml-try
/dtml-in
/dtml-let
h4Iterate Over 1-tuples/h4
dtml-let list="[('a',),('b',)]"
dtml-in list

It seems as if dtml-in handles lists of pairs specially.
Not a good thing. Can I supress this behavior?
Here is an example of this:

You can run it as a background process. ./start or you can create/modify the initialize file in /etc/rc.d/init.d/Zope if it is not there, create one, if it is check it to see that it is pointing to the correct path.
