"Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" by Edwin A. Abbott.

> Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions.

I'd also recommend Curlish (http://packages.python.org/curlish/). It performs nice JSON highlighting and also handles OAuth 2.0 token authentication.

It simply wraps curl(1), so all of the familiar arguments and recipes continue to work just fine, as well.

It's also fun to remember that all of the Apollo moon landings took place during just a 3.5 year period in the middle of the Nixon administration.

"I hope my handwriting, etc. do not give the impression I am just a crank or circle-squarer."

It seems he considered how a handwritten letter might be perceived.

I wrote a similar Python library (named yuri) a couple of months back: https://github.com/jparise/yuri

I was motivated to write it in response to one of Quora's Programming Challenges (http://www.quora.com/about/challenges). It seemed like a fun problem, and I had never had a good reason to read through the applicable RFCs. I wonder if furl was similarly motivated?

I don't find the standard library modules very difficult to use, however, so I haven't spent much more time on it since then.

The code hasn't been updated in about a year: https://github.com/wbhart/bsdnt

Thanks. I should have done a more thorough search before submitting this. I was honestly surprised that this particularly link hadn't been posted before, and now we see that this paper has nearly a half-dozen URIs on the same site. Bummer.

San Francisco, CA (SOMA) - Booyah!

We're a mobile games company that focuses on using real-world elements (e.g. location) as part of our entertainment experiences. We're primarily focused on iOS development right now, but we have a lot of cross-platform (Android, Flash, Mac, PC, etc.) experience in-house as well.

We're the game studio that brought you MyTown, Early Bird, DJ Rivals, and Nightclub City.

We're current looking for gameplay engineers (http://www.booyah.com/jobs/?id=41) and a senior systems engineer (http://www.booyah.com/jobs/?id=37).

We're a Mac shop. Our code lives in git. Jenkins keeps us honest. Engineers use whatever other tools they prefer.

We also have business, project management, and art openings: http://www.booyah.com/jobs/

Here's the accompanying source code: http://norvig.com/sciam/checkers.py

  There are four parts to this program:
  (1) Strachey's checkers program in CPL:
      OriginalCPLprogram is the original program, verbatim
      ModifiedCPLprogram fixes a typo and two small conceptual problems
  (2) A parser for the CPL language.  This is encoded in the external
      file 'cpl.g', which is then processed by yapps2.py to produce cpl.py,
      which we then import, allowing us to use cpl.parse on ModifiedCPLprogram.
  (3) Functions described but not implemented by Strachey (such as Null and Shift).
  (4) Variable definitions and functions not listed by Strachey.
  (5) Test cases.

Another way to look at it is as an adapter to a "new" WSGI interface specification. The fact that it's backwards compatibile allows it to be used with existing WSGI tools, but future WSGI Lite-compatible software could implement the Lite API directly.

That being said, I've only briefly looked over the WSGI Lite code and neither advocate nor criticize its direction.
