Unless they're something other than .format().

BlueEyedBeast

they're in 2.7 at least

TuxCopter

>>> f"hai"
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    f"hai"
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have 3.5

BlueEyedBeast

f-strings are 3.6 only

Downgoat

@TuxCopter -1 hai shouild never be capitalized

TuxCopter

@Downgoat sorry I fixed

El'endia Starman

11:02 PM

@TuxCopter Oh, those f-strings. I've never used them (yet).

Downgoat

question: is there way to 1) clear file contents 2) then open in append mode? in python

BlueEyedBeast

@Downgoat why would you want to do that?

Sp3000

If you're clearing then appending, isn't that just write mode? o_O

El'endia Starman

@Downgoat That's just the same as opening with 'w', isn't it?

TuxCopter

^..^^^

BlueEyedBeast

11:03 PM

surely its the same thing as opening in write mode

Downgoat

@El'endiaStarman oh :|

wat

tfw

Downgoat

:O python has center built in

10/10 beautiful

TuxCopter

what?

BlueEyedBeast

@TuxCopter str.center

TuxCopter

11:08 PM

>>> "OMG :O:O:O".center(40)
'               OMG :O:O:O               '

OMG :O:O:O

BlueEyedBeast

didn't you already know about that?

wat

@TuxCopter ö

TuxCopter

@BlueEyedBeast Nope

I've been using Python for 2 years and I never saw this

BlueEyedBeast

it also has "a".ljust(3, "w")

and rjust

TuxCopter

Python copied Ruby confirmed

BlueEyedBeast

11:10 PM

have you tried 3..__str__()?

TuxCopter

or the other way around idk

@BlueEyedBeast It does "3.0"

The double dot is not that obscure

BlueEyedBeast

@TuxCopter it's such a weird syntax

TuxCopter

Not really

BlueEyedBeast

see (3.).__str__()

TuxCopter

3..__str__() is basically Call(Dot(Number(1.0), Name(__str__)), []) in AST

TIL it's Turing Complete, not Turning Complete ._.

BlueEyedBeast

11:12 PM

0 LOAD_CONST               0 (3.0)
3 LOAD_ATTR                0 (__str__)
6 CALL_FUNCTION            0 (0 positional, 0 keyword pair)
9 RETURN_VALUE

TuxCopter

you really tought it was turning complete @Downgoat

Downgoat

@TuxCopter :(

TuxCopter

wat really

A wheel is turning complete, but it don't make sense for a machine

Downgoat

Question: i have:

Commit = namedtuple('Commit', ['author', 'email', 'hash', 'change'])

El'endia Starman

@TuxCopter "Turing" doesn't make much sense either. It's a name, and "Turning" could have been his name.

Downgoat

11:16 PM

can I do: "{author}'s email is {email}".format(commitInstance) somehow

TuxCopter

@Downgoat Nope

BlueEyedBeast

@Downgoat in python 3.6, yes

Downgoat

@BlueEyedBeast pls tell

BlueEyedBeast

use f-strings

Downgoat

                "{author} <{email}>:\n".format(author=logItem.author, email=logItem.email)

did i do right?

TuxCopter

11:17 PM

yes

BlueEyedBeast

>>> x=dict(a=1,b=2)
>>> "{a}, {b}".format(**x)
'1, 2'

Qwerp-Derp

Hey does anyone want to play 3-player tic-tac-toe?

Sp3000

@Downgoat "{instance.author}'s email is {instance.email}".format(instance=commitInstance)

(or, if you're really lazy, 0.author and 0.email without the instance=)

Q: Write an obfuscated program that terminates after 60 seconds

Write a program that terminates after exactly 60 seconds (or as close to it as possible). For example: #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char **argv){ sleep(60); return 0; } However, your goal is to write this program such that terminating after exactly 1 minute is essentially inh...
