which would, in fact, make it the equivalent of the ruby when/do statement, I believe

You wouldn’t have to define other functions if you used lambda. So one of the dict entries could be

0: lambda : print “This was zero”,

now you don’t have to have extra functions and such. (and it reads relatively similarly to what you had already).

if you wanted to change a variable (or variables) you could define a single function to do so and then call it with a lambda, e.g.

def change_foundoption(option):
global found_option
found_option = option

and then just do the following

0: lambda: change_foundoption(“none”)

etc

Comment on The operating system for your brain by baudsmk

Strange thing, I go to the hospital to get information on it and they refuse to help me so I leave and they call the police saying I escaped. And brain hack me right in through the front door and I wake up in the crazy-nut-ward it took me 3 weeks just to get my clothes back. After 3 weeks of taking their meds I got a 3 hour pass to see a dentist. When I wake the next morning at home my brain feels like its melting, I feel like I was cuddling with my toes all night, my tummy feels like its 6 feet tall and my back are my feet. My actual feet feal like my head and brain, and my head feals like where my feet are. The resolution of my vision is so low I cannot see curved edges like peoples shoulders this makes the upper half of my vision freeze like buggy microsoft programming. Trying to use a door, the handle feels square in my hand, and is further uncomfortable because I now have a fear of circles (stokenphobia) I’ve never heard of this before. Nightmares of burn holes in my brain. Numbers also confusing, size 9 shoe and my brain is wondering if this is the largest number, my IQ number, or the time of day. When trying to read Tuesday my voice would stop at the first syllabol pause then continue saying the day for me without my control.

Two days of dreaming and it was of only clicks, drips, electric shocks, and feeling of brains on fire.

Hi Toby, it’s definitely possible for modules to conflict with each other. Python a list of places in the filesystem to look for module in sys.path. I think it will pick the first one it finds. You should look more into sys.path and module loading.

Comment on Create More, Consume Less by Shrutarshi Basu

Thanks! I think that in current society consumption is unfortunately much easier than creation, so we need to put in the direct and effort energy to make it happen. But it is absolutely, without a doubt, worth it.

Comment on 6 interesting keyboard designs by Shrutarshi Basu

Hi Jill, I don’t know about any manufacturer that makes keyboards in lower case. It’s also been a long time since I looked into keyboards so I’m not in tune with the times. Maybe you can contact manufacturers directly to see if they can make a customized keyboard for you?

I would be really happy if someone built an industrial-strength, well-supported platform for the sort of writing and publishing I’ve been describing. But I also think that the best software starts out as a small-scale itch-scratching. Only when you are deeply familiar with the problem can you come up with a proper solution.

How about Github?

Great post. I have a question:
How can developers make modules with the same name? Since to use a module you use ‘import modulename’, isn’t possible for developers to make modules with the same name by coincidence? I’m thinking of common names like ‘web’ or ‘Image’.
Thanks mate!
