Since this is my first post, I suppose I should introduce myself:
Hi, I’m thepythonista!
Okay, now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to cheat a bit and ask you, my faithful readers, what sort of cool things you’re doing or have done with Python, and what you might like to see me write about in the future. For my part, I have used Python to:
- Write test scripts for an in-house application at work.
- Analyze error log files for an online game I help maintain.
- Help format my resume.
- Write an online game.
- And lots of other stuff.
How about you? Post a comment telling me what you’ve done with Python, and maybe I’ll write a more in-depth post about it in the future!

It’d be really great if you covered useful-things-that-don’t-really-get-covered-in-tutorials.
For example, I recently learned that a better way of doing this:
if foo == 1 or foo == 3 or foo == 5:
would be
if foo in [1, 3, 5]

Thanks for your comment.
I’m working on a post on “screen scraping in Python,” which might just be up your alley. Is that the kind of thing you were referring to (stuff that isn’t usually covered in most tutorials)?
Also, if there’s a specific topic you’d like to see me cover, don’t hesitate to leave a comment suggesting it.
