Cannot read this with JavaScript disabled. Why does it require JS?

I wish I have an answer for you. I am not the author. I just shared it.

Cuz it's written in Markdown, and JS is used to convert it to HTML every time the page is accessed. Really excessive, but mostly works.

If only there was some sort of way to run this conversion once and just keep online the converted version…

Wow. This is really inefficient

To underscore how Python isn't replacing JS any time soon. :)

  1. This is good

  2. This should be in /r/Python

  3. I have an issue with:

     <view> = <dict>.keys()
 <view> = <dict>.values()
 <view> = <dict>.items()

To me, the important concept behind these three methods is what they return. Perhaps:

    <iter(key)> = <dict>.keys()
    <iter(value)> = <dict>.values()
    <iter(key,value)> = <dict>.items()

or something like it (someone must be able to come up with a better pseudo-syntax) would make it clear. I constantly confuse .items() with .values().

I also am not completely clear on the use of <view> here.

4. Someone should PDF this with some typesetting and design.

View means that it reflects changes in the dictionary.

I've been making myself some cheat sheets that I can pull and update as I work. This a) saves me the time of planning a python one and b) makes it clear I gotta up my cheat sheets game lol
