You do realize that now pretty much all modern window managers (OS X, Windows Vista+, KDE 4, Gnome 3, Unity) are abandoning the browsing paradigm for searching + pinning because we have so much stuff installed right now, flat lists don't cut it any more?

<OT>Yes, I know mutable objects are a no-no as a default parameter; copying doesn't help. I said it was legal python, not good python.</OT>

Whitespace is only meaningful when it separates statements (newline) and it structures code (spaces/tab for indentation). Although the Python coding style suggests against lining it, you can line things up to your heart's content.

This is legal Python:

def my_func_params_let_me_show_you_them(
            foo = 1,
            bar = False,
            egg = None,
            spam = [][:],
        ):
    pass

Yes, but I doubt any program on that list doesn't already have platform specific code.

HTTP is still all the rage. GMail is still email. Twitter is not an IRC replacement. Youtube is also not an FTP replacement. Web boards are starting to get aged themselves.
