You know, considering the apparent lack of anything resembling a good performance and the fact they're doing that really irritating 'sorry we're so cute' thing from the previous page, I actually don't feel so bad about them getting mugged.
...okay, so I was working on an assignment for the better part of two weeks not long ago and my partner had the rather brilliant idea of doing it in Python. I have not programmed in Python before. He pointed me towards a tutorial and told me to read it in an hour. An hour later, I was convinced how insanely and godly sexy Python can be.
Our assignment still turned out to be a pain in the ass, but Python made it easier to take. FOr instance, import OS, os.walk(basedir) and bam - two lines and you're now capable of traversing all the files and folders on a computer and then some.

...okay, so that may or may not be entirely correct syntax, but you get the idea. Great stuff, Python.
Patchys love the textbook on the mathematics regarding spatial properties that are preserved under continuous deformations of objects, and dislike the terribly written garbage that is Stephanie Meyers' sparkly vampire series?
Okay, so I had to Wiki topology.
That aside, I too would rather read a math textbook than any part of Twilight.
