I've been practicing my Python again. I am working on a Python version of an old boardgame called Stock Ticker. I had a breakthrough after thinking about it for 2 years. Right now, though, I'm just goofing off. This is imaginary code for the use of a random_thoughts module.
I've been watching videos of Python masters teaching their great wisdom. Of note is the work of Raymond Hettinger. I've learned a lot from watching him talk about writing beautiful Python code. I am only 7 years or so into my Python practice, so I'm not yet an expert. I am entering into the "intermediary" territory, though, because I can read almost any Python code and pretty much know what it's doing, and I can write code to solve problems I encounter every day. I still can't write a packaged app, a full-blown executable, with interface and everything. But I am beginning to truly understand Python, which is still a big accomplishment for me.
My dream is to think Pythonic thoughts. I want to turn my thoughts into mathematical expressions, and be able to execute them using Python as a programming language. Hence the thought experiment on the random_thoughts module. It's not really good Python code, but it's a start. The idea is that there would be a function I could use to turn my thoughts directly into idiomatic Python.
