  1. My most recent Python geek out was with multiprocessing module: using a process to spawn a process so it could keep status updating without leaving all spawned processes up to the main thread to perform the status checks while it's alive. Process checks when spawned can only be done by the parent so in order to make a process continuously check on progress of a real working process you gotta make another process for the status checks then launch the work process inside of it. I'm not a Python pro so maybe everyone already knows this but I thought it was neat.

  2. If you used item getter on a list of functions isn't that a catalyst for metaprogramming in Python? It seems to me that could choose functions that choose functions infinitely, I think.

  3. Why even bother?? It's a function, this is language bloat by definition.
