The Zen of Python is well sed :)

$ python -c "import this" | sed -n "4,4p;15,16p"
Explicit is better than implicit.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

Analyse this Python code snippet

By Vasudev Ram

Hi reader [1],

Analyze the snippet of Python code below. See what you make of it.

I will discuss it in my next post.

>>> a = 1
>>> lis = [a, 2 ]
>>> lis
[1, 2]
>>> lis = [a, 2 ,
... "abc", False ]
>>>
>>> lis
[1, 2, 'abc', False]
>>> a
1
>>> b = 3
>>> lis
[1, 2, 'abc', False]
>>> a = b
>>> a
3
>>> lis
[1, 2, 'abc', False]
>>> lis = [a, 2 ]
>>> lis
[3, 2]
>>>

[1] This product is suitable for Pythonistas aged 1 to 2 (approximately). For those of higher age, the dose may have no effect :)

Nice one: Problem exists between keyboard and chair

By Vasudev Ram


Good one by Andy Brice (blogger at SuccessfulSoftware.net and founder of Perfect Table Plan and HyperPlan):

Problem exists between keyboard and chair

As a person who has done a good amount of both software development and troubleshooting, and as a user too, the different viewpoints resonate with me (as they still say in Silicon Valley :).

Another good one on similar lines: the best debugging tool is the one between your ears.

Another one (I've heard it attributed to the Pennsylvania Dutch):

We get too soon old and too late schmart

To log or not to log, that is the question

By Vasudev Ram

Hamlet image attribution

I was teaching some students about debugging print statements, so thought of doing a Google search for them.

Here is the search:

https://www.google.com/search?q=debugging+print+statements

Viewed a few of the search results. One, from the site softwareengineering.stackexchange.com, had an interesting discussion about the pros and cons of debugging print statements vs. logging vs. using a debugger:

Is printing to console/stdout a good debugging strategy?

And there are other interesting results of the search.

The title of this post is, of course, a word play on the famous quote:

To be, or not to be

from the play Hamlet by Shakespeare.

And the image at the top is of the actor Edwin Booth playing Hamlet.
