影藝散場



香港影藝戲院結束,我這個澳門觀眾不免有點失落。

畢竟我在這戲院看過生命中最重要的一場電影,對這地方不免另有一種感情。

這兩天讀到戲院結束的新聞,媒體都不免會說她最興盛的時期是播放日本電影《情書》一映二百多

How Python parses indentation

One of the interesting things about Python for compiler geeks is that itis a partially implicit context language, in that line indentation issignificant. Implicit context languages been out of favour for a verylong time, and most parsing techniques these days are geared towardsstream oriented grammars.

(By 'implicit context languages' I mean ones where state changes likeentering and exiting blocks are implicit in the difference betweenlines, such as different indentation levels. By contrast, streamoriented languages use explicit markers for such state changes, like

Turning off HTTP basic authentication in urllib

Python's urllib module convenientlyhandles a great many bits of fetching URLs for you, including HTTP basicauthentication. Unfortunately it does this by pausing everything to 'askthe user for the required information on the controlling terminal' (tomore or less quote from the documentation).
