Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

We started by discussing what's new in Yosemite:

Puppet as a tool is unaffected, due to getting over the issues with Ruby 2.0 in Mavericks.

The issues with NetInstall and CreateOSXInstallPkg with the distribution pkg format were discussed, as per: https://github.com/munki/createOSXinstallPkg#further-note-on-additional-packages-and-yosemite

SCCM hasn't been well know to immediately support OS releases, nor patch broken functionality in a timely fashion.

<p>
    My programming language of preference is python for the simple reason that I feel I write better code faster with it then I do with other languages.  However also has a lot of nice tricks and idioms to do things well.  And partly as a reminder to myself to use them, and partly because I thought this might be of general interest I have put together this collection of some of my favourite idioms.  I am also putting this on <a href="https://gist.github.com/codefisher/9d7993ddbf404c505128">gist.github.com</a> so that anyone that wants to contribute there own things can, and I will try and keep this post up to date.

<h2>enumerate</h2>

<p>
    A fairly common thing to do is loop over a list while also keeping track of what index we are up to.  Now we could use a <code>count</code> variable, but python gives us a nicer syntax for this with the <code>enumerate()</code> function.
