Weekly Roundup

This week has seen some interesting news in the Python world.
  • In particular, the release of Python 2.6, with support for json and a new multiprocessing paradigm.
  • In my research for other projects, I ran across an older article by the ineffable effbot about thread synchronization.
  • One of the more interesting, and sometimes confusing, parts of Python is list comprehensions, explained in good detail in this article on comprehending list comprehensions.
  • I don't often need to write a parser, but the ideas presented in the "Zen of Parsing" seem very useful for those rare instances.
On the other hand, not everything I did this week was programming related.
