First, why was the decision made to make indentation significant? I am
not asking this out of malice or because I think its wrong -- I just
want to know the pro's and con's...
Second, I read through the Python tutorial, and quite frankly, it left
me with far more questions than answers. Is there another source of
more detailed information available?
I might as well as one of the questions I gleaned from the tutorial: In
this code fragement:
def fib(n):
a, b = 0, 1
while b <= n:
print b,
a, b = b, a+b
What are the first ('a, b = 0, 1') and last ('a, b = b, a+b') lines
doing?
I am planning to use Python as a scripting language for a terminal
application I have written for Windows NT.
Thanks for any help!
