In a recent post, I believe it was D Hawksworth that noted,
So I imported it, asked the shell window for 'help' (egad, technical jargon!) and did a search on python, same result. None of my beginners' tutorials have anything about pickle, unfortunately (very frustrating!)
Does anyone know if there are some *beginner*-user-friendly tutorials out there for pickle? Or can give a sample of how you would implement it into a VERY SIMPLE program?
I have often wished for some small examples to break into the sometimes dense technical notation. Has the python community ever considered writing the "annotated documentation resource?" It would be nice if the documentation had more examples that were "VERY SIMPLE" to demonstrate the use of some function or its arguments.
Would something like a documentation wiki (if that's the right word) be useful wherein each page(?) of the documentation would have a reader-modifiable section in which links back to tutor discussions or sample code could be put. Since such annotations might grow long, perhaps a link to another page would be better. Would a rating system allow the snippets that people find most useful to rise to the top of the examples?
I'm not sure what goes into these wiki and whether something like this would get used or not. Perhaps the personal feedback of the tutor list is more effective.
Any thoughts?
