Pythonista for Python 3.x.

How do the chained stargs work? If I have func(*args, *moreargs)
and I then put in func(1,2,3,4,5,6), how is it decided what goes into the list args and what goes into moreargs?

Yield from (see PEP 380). Like try to do curio or agent with Python2.

@Webmaster4o Not when defining functions, but when calling them. For example, this is how you could implement functools.partial:

def partial(callable, *frozen_args, **frozen_kwargs):
    def _partial(*new_args, **new_kwargs):
        return callable(*frozen_args, *new_args, **frozen_kwargs, **new_kwargs)
    return _partial

Ah, ok. Now I get it.

I'm sure @ccc would point this out soon enough ;) but Python 2.7.11 was released today/yesterday: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/

ccc

@dgelessus LOL... Yes. And Python 3.5.1 is due tomorrow: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-351

@ccc , thanks. I subscribed to his blog. I read through quite a few of his blog entries. Really good info for someone like me (limited info on the history of Python and the future and more...) for one, I will start to look at Unicode seriously, it's good to do while I am still a beginner. Anyway, great info from this guy (Not just the mentioned blog entry here) and he has the credentials

Most of the posts here are 3 years old. More libraries are now available on Python 3 and it appears to be the clear direction forward for Python. My requirements are for Python 3.

Pythonista looks great and as soon as it is on Python 3 I will purchase it!

Just FYI to anyone who may have missed it - it's happening...
