I'm currently looking for an excuse to get cue-cat bar code reader. Jonathan D. Rosebaugh, aka "Skip" seems to have earned his google-name through his Python code to process the input.

I got on that diversion as Tam is looking for a good shopping list manager for a Palm Pilot.  Any suggestions? I was disappointing not to find any hits for "shopping" at the Palm Open Source site.

Via Lambda the Ultimate then Patrick Logan and somewhere prior Don Box, the concepts touted by Bruce Eckel's latest Python interview seem to need repeating::

The main sources of productivity [in Python] are that I am able to look at more lines of code on the screen, put more meaning into fewer lines of code, read and understand code more easily, and deal with higher level concepts. - Bruck Eckel via http://www.artima.com/intv/tipping.html

(Thanks for the in-blog code, Patrick!)

...and if lines of code doesn't give you enough typing related cramps, share some with your cerebrum and visit artima's thread on Strong vs. Weak, Static vs. Dynamic.
