Plus one for pyenv

Keyword “typically”. If I’m overriding dunder methods, then I’ll typically need to call the super method as well. It’s not like it’s forbidden.

Consider the following:

class MyStr(str):
     def len(self):
          return len(self)
          # OR
          return self.__len__()

Both of the above return values are perfectly valid Python.

At the end of the day, len(ob) just defers to ob.__len__() so both are correct, just one’s more functional and one’s more object oriented.

Also bash

Well I’ll be…! I wonder if that’s how they came up with the word?

Took me a few reads

The second edition was published last Feb (2023) I believe. I read it on my Kindle, having “flicked through” the online version about 6 months prior, and yeah having it page by page with bookmarks etc was almost as good as paper, but far superior to the web version and I was able to read it cover to cover and gain a lot from it. I immediately then read about 4 other books on Rust! Can recommend “Rust Atomics & Locks” by Mara Bos, and “Rust for Rustaceans” by Jon Gjengset for the next level up.

Agree. The official book is a really good start though, and available for free. https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/
