I've gotten red-eyed looking through google pages to find answers. I've read the python.org docs and tutorials entirely (some parts very quickly).
If I write a little .py file, its name is __main__ assuming no big nit-picks in the claim above, is __main__ a class? What exactly does it mean "module" and how is that different from a class. Is it sufficient to define a class as some executable code that gets run when it's loaded? Someone has so defined, but I don't think it's sufficient. classic definition of a function is some code that takes arguments and returns a single value. What's the definition of a function in python? how is a method different from a function? Is it just that a method is a member of a class, i.e. can a class have both methods and functions? thanks in advance. jim _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
