...omes down too heavily on circular imports. They can work just fine, if you set them up correctly. The easiest way to do so is to use import my_module syntax, rather than from my_module import some_object. The former will almost always work, even if my_module included imports us back. The latter onl...

...w ZEN processor in which their burn mark tests are showing that at default settings it is comparable to Intel's top i7 processors. Their new technology is supposed to improve the more it works as it recognizes patterns of instructions. So I think most of their time and effort was spent on this new p...

...aration and the code to manage that exception somewhere else. Why assert insetad of throwing new Exception? Or why not an if instead of assert? Can't really get this :( – Blueriver Apr 13 '14 at 23:48 ...

...tions (functions) available to the object. However, notice that you don't set colour for the doghood itself - it's an abstract concept. There are attributes that make sense on classes.

...xternal resource. Since our code is waiting for a response, the system can set the running task off to the side and come back to it once it's finished. Meanwhile, it can do some other work on that thread. In the example below, the first block is doing exactly that. It starts all the tasks immediate...

...On the other hand the use of a shared data area might be used to contain a set of global parameters which are referenced throughout the application. This approach is often used with embedded applications with small memory footprints. When using global variables in these sort of applications typica...
