No, you need an editor that abstracts away the indentation and uses the existing style of the file. I use the tab key to indent code, my editor (Emacs) is configured to just cycle through sane choices.

Because you can see their usage as a series of "points" linked to exactly one other point, that forms a "line", as opposed to other systems where you could have more of a graph or tree.

Yeah, because it's not like we don't appropriate words all over the place anyway, and reuse words for all kinds of similar and dissimilar purposes. Using "breakpoints" to describe the /points/ where the layout

And is that so bad? So often i did stuff like that, then finding I actually need the result of x.calculate_weight() inside the condition, or to debug it or log it in some way. Then it has to be extracted anyway.

It does make sense to evaluate the default value for the parameter at the point of definition for serveral reasons. First of all, the default value does not have to be a literal value, and if you wanted it to be evaluated at call time the f

I think the importance is the orthogonality of the features. Eg. having so many ways to do string formatting or now multiple ways of doing assigments are not ortogonal and thus can be seen as cluttering.

python3 -m pip install foo It also works for python2. I try to avoid using python tools that installs their own scripts and go for calling the module through python. This also works for python3/2 -m venv venv

I hate when I code python and refactor stuff, moving stuff around and such, that I cant just copy/clip around and then do a final 'indent all my work correctly' like I can in a language like lisp. I am kind of developing a gr
