Hello Folks,
I along with Aditya Athalye were to co-ordinate the May meetup.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I have to travel in the last week of May. I won't be in town on the 25th (Saturday).

Request somebody to pitch in and take it up please.

Cheers
Aditya

Hi All,
          I was thinking of something on python idioms...
Every language brings its own culture, hacks - and style with it...
And the stuff you absolutely have to know for getting something done...
Idiomatic code is also very elegant...

While learning python, I think this would fill in the need... The coroutines stuff in python is super stuff...
Also the list copy as

def y = x[:]

While comparing with other languages - here is what I mean...

C/C++ have extensive idioms - for example,
             while( *d++ = *s++);
is how strcpy is defined in C... (Or "executing around the pointer" idiom in C++
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C%2B%2B_Idioms/Execute-Around_Pointer)

Perl has so many - (The first time I saw Schwartzian transform - my eyes popped out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_transform ;-)

Java's try/finally - and list -> array conversion
MyClass[] arr = myList.toArray(new MyClass[0]);
- and many others...

Comments welcome...

I posted a big message here - and somehow the post never went through -

Big time frustrating - I proposed something on Python idioms...

Which message? I see one message on python idioms in this email thread. Is there one more? I saw only one in moderation queue and approved it as soon as I got notification about moderation queue.

I agree. There has been only one message which got approved in a couple of mins (though you beat me to that approval! :) ).

Sorry guys,
I posted - but somehow got confused - even after posting it,
it did not appear - think it was waiting for approval - I missed the
notification...
However, my mail inbox had the message all right...

It was just the idioms message - only one...
