I like especially the explanation why Python has a proper modulo operator rather than the mathematically really annoying one of C (and most other languages):

Erm.... Is an Erlang day for Python developing? Just curious because I notice similar Python topics on the front page. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them. They just seem like odd topics to come up all at the same time.

Topics tend to cluster, as a topic is in peoples minds they tend to be more likely to find more articles and post them.

This is really cool. I can't believe I haven't come across it before! Thanks for posting

How often do you visit /usr/share/doc/python? This FAQ has been there for a decade, at least.

[dkd → mahmud]

it's from version 2.7 doc. so it's far less than a decade.
