Python (Monty)
"Because Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb you know. Most of it's up until you reach the very very top, and then it tends to slope away rather sharply..."
Been banging around Python a bit. It's certainly a different feel than the classic Java/C++/C#/Delphi OO paradigm that I've been used to. I've finally gotten a basic class and unit test up and running. It's a pretty simple rectangle/area thing, but it works and it gets me one step closer to understanding Python.
I also got PyUnit to work and did some Test First coding. I actually found a bug in my dinky little rectangle class. I had wanted it to throw an exception when I set width or height to a negative number, so I wrote tests to expect an error for setWidth, setHeight and the __init__ method. But when I wrote the code, I forgot to check the input for the constructor. Fortunately, PyUnit caught the oversight. Bad job Peter; good job PyUnit.
Meanwhile, I'm watching classic Monty Python sketches as I work. Perfectly appropriate I think, but it makes it more difficult to concentrate.
More on Python over the weekend, as I progress.
