Line 52:
Time has passed, and I find that making the same code work for 2.X ''and'' 3.X to be not too hard. When pushed, I might favour just a 3.X solution. If anyone finds the deviations from good Python style that are used to make an example work on both 3.X and 2.X to be a bad thing, then please discuss. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:37, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
==Motto magic ?==
Not much turns on this, I don't want to press it, but I do wonder whether the eager explanation that a motto makes it easy to create bug-free programs doesn't sound a little quaint ?
I'm sure we have all seen buggy Python code (on RC as much as elsewhere in the wild, as it happens), so perhaps, for reassurance of the reader, we could at least reference a few of the experiments which have established confidence in (our ?) view that that memorisation or incantation of mottos does have a statistically detectable impact on bug-rates ?
Or should such papers prove elusive, perhaps we could cite any experimental confirmation of our hope that bug-rates in Python code might in fact be significantly lower than in comparable corpora written in other languages ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 13:09, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
