Tutorial. Practical Common Lisp. This page, and the pages it links to, contain text of the Common Lisp book Practical Common Lisp published by Apress These pages now contain the final text as it appears in the book. If you find errors in these pages, please send email to book@gigamonkeys.com. These pages will remain online in perpetuity—I hope they will serve as a useful introduction to Common Lisp for folks who are curious about Lisp but maybe not yet curious enough to shell out big bucks for a dead-tree book and a good Common Lisp tutorial for folks who want to get down to real coding right away. However, don't let that stop you from buying the printed version available from Apress at your favorite local or online bookseller. For the complete bookstore browsing experience, you can read the letter to the reader that appears on the back cover of the treeware edition of the book.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Selected article The IPython interactive shell running in gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 11.04, showcasing the introspection and system shell command features. A number of popular articles in the computer press have discussed the advantages of IPython, and it is a component of the SciPy package. It lends itself well to rapid-prototyping and can often be seen in conjunction with Matplotlib for scientific and engineering work. IPython can also be used as a system shell replacement, especially on Windows which has a minimally capable shell.

Python Programming Language – Official Website. An Introduction to Python - Fancier Output Formatting. So far we've encountered two ways of writing values: expression statements and the print statement.
(A third way is using the write() method of file objects; the standard output file can be referenced as sys.stdout. See the Python Library Reference Manual for more information on this.) Often you'll want more control over the formatting of your output than simply printing space-separated values. There are two ways to format your output; the first way is to do all the string handling yourself; using string slicing and concatenation operations you can create any layout you can imagine. The standard module ‘string’ contains some useful operations for padding strings to a given column width; these will be discussed shortly. One question remains, of course: how do you convert values to strings? Some examples: Here are two ways to write a table of squares and cubes: (Note that one space between each column was added by the way print works: it always adds spaces between its arguments.)
