Finally, I have one comment for the respected Moderator, if he is not out on a walk in the highlands in this cold and wet weather.
No, that's on tomorrow's schedule :-)
I have taken the liberty of raising my problem here rather than elsewhere, because I have observed that the biological and bio-medical community, who always come late to new notions, is now rapidly discovering python. A great deal of work in these fields involve either stochastic simulations or statistical problems of analysis. The latter are more or less straight-forward, but the simulations are not.
I have no problem with this kind of material on tutor because, although the list is for "beginners to Python", that includes those with much experience in other languages and who may expect to use TDD from the beginning.
So TDD techniques using standard library modules is a valid topic even though it may be too advanced for those beginners who are new to programming. We need to balance coverage to cater for both categories of "beginner". -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
