Pretty disappointing.

I run/host a community of Python new entry-level scripters. This seems perfect for them to see so they'll understand a little more about what they're seeing.

I'd welcome any other cheat sheets which you prefer, though. I was actually impressed at the clarity of this one because it's covered a lot of concepts that literally took a few forum posts to clarify for newbies.

Could have at least used a dict.

Makes me want to do one of these now though.

[Kaizyn → tim2]

You should; be sure to post the fruits of your efforts online for everyone else.

Not a bad reference for newbies, but this lacks some important things (dictionaries, tuples, list comprehensions, lambdas etc.). Also, the arrow-style explanations don't lend well to a quick-search reference.

Isn't using a "main" function a C-ism? I have never heard of such a convention when programming in Python.

Is there one? Does the BDFL know about it?

[hhm → rbanffy]

No, it's actually used. In this article the creator of Python talks about it: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=4829

[miratom]

...and for those who have never seen a programming language ever. Do they really need arrows that point to comments that say, "This is a comment"?

[jsmcgd → miratom]

They don't need to but it succinctly highlights the fact that there are two different ways of commenting code in Python.

[anon]

it's missing 'pass' which is essential if you wish for automatic indentation to work properly
