April 30, 2016

Hi, The wiki <https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages> is missing some options: 1) http://pybee.org/voc/ - Converts python to java byetcode 2) https://www.py4j.org/index.html - Allows python code to access jvm objects. 3) https://github.com/chrishumphreys/p2j - An old python to java translator. Nice for reference. Thanks, Shay Gover

Wiki Edit on `Generators Page'
by B.V. Raghav April 20, 2016

April 20, 2016

Hi, Edit suggestion on the following page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/Generators > Here, we compose a square generator with the takewhile generator, to generate squares less than 100 > Toggle line numbers > #add squares less than 100 > square = (i*i for i in count()) > bounded_squares = takewhile(lambda x : x< 100, square) > total = 0 > for i in bounded_squares: > total += i The above example requires an import of itertools. Hence I suggest the following addition preceding the example: > from itertools import count, takewhile It took me a while to search this out in google! Being a newbie, I feel that the aforementioned amendment smoothens my uphill learning curve. Thanks, r -- (B.V. Raghav)

Because it's a good way to distinguish legitimate human editors from spambots. Most people who create wiki accounts do so because they want to make a particular edit, so it isn't usually much cost. Spambots, on the other hand, aren't thinking of constructive edits, so this is a challenge. And if the bots start making constructive edits... https://xkcd.com/810/ ChrisA
