RE: Outdated Misc/cheatsheet
From: Andrew Kuchling [SMTP:akuchlin@mems-exchange.org] Misc/cheatsheet is way out of date (the 'access' keyword?). I'd like to replace it with the text version of Simon Brunning and Richard Gruet's Python cheatsheet. Issues:
Andy, Sounds like a good idea to me.
1) Simon, do you grant permission to do that? Should I ask Richard, too?
Yes and yes. I've copied Richard in on this.
2) The new file is significantly larger: 100K instead of just 22K. Is that OK?
3) The reference will need updating for 2.1 and 2.2 changes, but slightly obsolete is better than waaay obsolete. Simon, do you want help updating it for 2.1/2.2?
Thanks, Andy, but I'm on the Python 2.1 version - it's no more than a week away. Honest. I'll also do a 2.2 version as soon as I know what's going to be in it! Iterators and generators seem to be in for sure, and after reading your 'What's New in Python 2.2' document I understand what they do, so they aren't a problem. Ditto the other changes mentioned in your document. But I'm not sure about the Type/Class unification stuff - I don't know if it's going in, and I don't understand it, either! So here, I could use some help.

Great! I'll wait for it, then.

Guido wrote up a description that's at http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.python.org/pub/www.python.org/2.2/descrint... . I do plan to write a section on it, now that it seems closer to inevitable, but I don't think it affects beginner or intermediate-level programmers much. Mostly the changes will affect wizards who want to write ExtensionClass-like things. And thanks! --amk
