Why does it always have to be snakes?

It is right there! In the second paragraph.

To go along with an ant and spider that are named after him.

No, it was named after a comedy troup.

That would explain the syntax.

In Norwegian, if you say that something is "really python", it means that it is really disgusting. It started out as relating to food only, "This tastes like python", but it grew into a general term of disgust that can be applied to anything. Including programming languages.

I'm surprised they didn't name it after the character, Indiana Jones, rather than the actor.

I was just driving out to collect something 40 miles away, and going over the Black Mountain there is a lay-by on the left. Walking away from a car was a lady dragging a reluctant young girl (maybe 10, maybe 12 years old?) and a violin.
I'm just guessing daughter really needs to practice but currently her music sounds like a cat being tortured ...

Reminds me of having to sit through my children's annual school recitals. Very painful. I clap and smile, but secretly I am in horrific pain from it all.

Oi, they indeed were brutal! Apparently, they've changed the way things are taught since my day, no more instrument tuning, or tapping one's foot to keep time, a true cacophony.

Yeah but if you and they can stick it out to - in America we call it High School - the music gets much MUCH better. My kids were playing real music in High School, serious 20 minute pieces. The marching band program at their high school ALWAYS used classical music Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, etc.
Heck, even the difference from 6th (where school band or orchestra starts in Georgia USA) to 8th grade is amazing.
band - wind and percussion
orchestra - stringed
Some high schools will do a full orchestra but not all of them.

my middle girl became a concert flutist for awhile. She is one of those incredibly talented people who can pick up any instrument and play it at a very high level in about a day.

I am the opposite of that on the guitar! In my own defense, I started in my mid fifties.

There was this lady who met the priest in the village, and the priest addressed her:
- I haven't seen you in church for some time now. Is there a reason for that?
- Well, my daughter has started playing the harp, you see.
- Can that harp be as great as our wonderful church organ?
- Certainly not, but I have started considering it: I just don't think I could take harp playing for an eternity.

Hi All,
In my constant struggles called a job I have to design a test rig for a project. In it is an Embedded Section which I have an issue (dang serial port not sending quite the right characters), I go to the Arduino website to ask a question, I can't log in with any of my accounts, I choose the 'Help, I have forgotten my Password' enter my email and wait I have been waiting since yesterday. Give it a kick while checking Spam, nothing contact the help desk via Email, nothing. I was against using Arduino as it's too hobbyist (I use them for controlling Christmas Lights!). Has anyone else used Arduino for Real applications?

If you're seeing garbage, changes are you have the wrong baud rate, bits, parity, &/or stop bit. The last 3 are usually 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1).

Thanks for that, but I think I may be onto the issue, Voltage levels not correct. If I use the serial port connected via the USB I get the correct output. Using one which is present on the chip (also broken out on the headers) It does not have the correct levels. Using a scope I can see the voltage is around 500mV when I send something... MAX232 to the rescue?
