Dead link

My ISP is seemingly blocking that site. I can access it from my DO VPS, though.

NB a tuple of one item only requires a trailing comma, and a tuple of zero items is represented as ()

I don't mean to be pedantic, but a list (I am assuming df is a list) requires an int.

(That sentence I wrote about using hashable types need not apply, sorry!)

If you ran that code, you would get this error:

    TypeError: list indices must be integers, not list

    alist = [foo(word) for word in words if word.startswith('a')]
    alist = map(foo, filter(lambda word: word.startswith('a'), words))

Which reads better?

Anybody have a link to the document? It's behind a paywall?

Any internet website can be attacked this same way.

>Your Python code is just wrong.

Could you elaborate? I want to understand how to fix it.

EDIT: I really want to know what is wrong with my code. It works. Is it a stylistic concern?

    $ dd bs=1m count=10 if=/dev/random of=randomdata
    10+0 records in
    10+0 records out
    10485760 bytes transferred in 0.878533 secs (11935535 bytes/sec)
    $ python stdin_to_stdout.py < randomdata | cmp - randomdata
    $ echo $?
    0

EDIT2: I think I know how you came to the conclusion my code is wrong. Perhaps next time you should read the __entire__ post. Thank you.

That mangles binary data.

    $ printf 'binarydata'|awk '{ print }'|hexdump -C
