Write, run and throw away scripts are the excuse I need at my job to try different languages.
One of the first languages I tried some years ago was Python. I really like the language but never had a proper introduction to it until now.
I just finished reading Learning Python by Mark Lutz. It’s a really good book especially if you are learning your first language. If it’s not the case the text can sometimes be too repetitive.
Anyhow, to make better use of my new and improved Python skills I devoted a few hours at night to understand what the heck is going on when I setup and sync Chromium‘ s source code.
I can finally rest when I type
gclient config http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src
gclient sync
