I fully agree with the crappy documentation. Which to be honest isn't consistent with the rest of the python sphere. Documentation tends to be pretty good generally. It's a shame.

Hmmm, I did a bit of searching and didn't find anything I particularly liked, I guess I'll add this to the list of posts I need to write. Nevertheless, I did find something. Check out these links:

Whether they are a reinvention or not, can't I be ebullient about them? I love new technology for example, and I get pretty ebullient about whatever new things there are. It doesn't mean that I'm ignorant of the past that has led up to them and it certainly shouldn't effect my thoughts on them either.

That's true haha. It rains a fair amount but it's definitely over exaggerated.

Yeah it's 1.5 times larger. It was a joke though because Japanese people always say it never stops raining in the UK, it's like the first thing they always say.

That's a good point, I've ran into problems with that before too. Thanks.
That is true, the maths is very basic and it doesn't go into why it's blazingly fast. The reason for this is that it doesn't fit the idea of this series at all.

However that would be an interesting post, it will be a good one to write, but not part of this series.

Thanks!
