i'm starting a yahoo group for learning python. Each day, a tip of
python will be shown, with the perl equivalent. For those of you
perlers who always wanted to learn python, this is suitable. (i started
it because i always wanted to switch to python but too lazy and always
falling back to a lang i am an expert at, but frustrated constantly by
its inanities and incompetences.)

to subscribe, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/perl-python/

i'll cross post to comp.lang.perl.misc and comp.lang.python.
If you spot mistakes, feel free to correct or discourse here.

if you are a perl expert and wanted to learn python, i believe after a
month of this list we'll be python experts. This serves us as a means
to cross the Rubicon.

What language are you an expert at? It certainly isn't Perl.

I don't see what this has to do with Perl.

You're joking, right?

Error #1: crossposting to those two groups.

(Error #2 is implying that you're a Perl expert, but someone else
already pointed that out.)

No. Perl may have some interesting idiosyncrasies, especially for a
programmer with little or no Unix experience, but I find it neither
frustrating, inane nor incompetent. The more I use it, the more I like it.
