... I encountered something really weird/interesting in ancient Python history. The website has a reconstruction of the 0.9.1 source tarball

I had a look inside the library folder for that, and it's using 7-space indent for the first indent, and 8 spaces thereafter! but I can imagine any number of ways that could have gotten corrupted between, apparently, 1991 and 2009

@KarlKnechtel Sure, please post a link. I'd like to see Python on Codidact succeed.

@KarlKnechtel I can just move it there if you want

@Arne That is indeed nippy without the faff of the nested dicts. I'm still pretty disappointed by its behaviour yesterday but maybe it's possible to enclose its scope properly in practice

@Arne re: duckdb you seemed pretty clued-up on it before I started playing. Do you happen to know if CREATE TABLE is fundamentally different than just running over the df itself? For example, there is this guide where they seem to just run over the df itself

@roganjosh Please, I'd appreciate it

@MisterMiyagi ah, this was also in my saves. The search to cover this canonical space has troubled me for quite a while, you know

thx

@MisterMiyagi incidentally, your answer there seems about as close to "just put ned's talk on SO" as we're going to get (although only a part of it, and explained at a different level of abstraction), so thanks for doing that adaptation too

roganjosh

Hmm, this is a bit like the old kid's game "Operation" where you have to pull out body parts without setting off the buzzer. I think I should also move the discussion you and smci were having?

Karl Knechtel

Heh. I leave it to your discretion

@roganjosh yesterday was the first time I heard about duckdb, good to hear that I still know how to look proficient after faking my way through school

roganjosh

Oh wow, I need your Cliff Notes then because you picked it up faster than me! :P

Arne

to answer your question, no idea. my assumption was that they do an implicit CREATE TABLE if a df is used like a table

roganjosh

That's what I was thinking too. Basically like syntactic sugar. I'll have a play in a bit

@Code-Apprentice I don't follow this at all
