Actually, `foo in sys.modules.keys()` is double-slow, because first the dict must be scanned to create a list, and then the list must be scanned linearly to test for foo. -- Aahz (aahz(a)pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Many customs in this life persist because they ease friction and promote productivity as a result of universal agreement, and whether they are precisely the optimal choices is much less important." --Henry Spencer

Simple answer: don't The main logging docs should be reference material, but the top of the docs should link to a tutorial (or the other way around, but I think the Python docs have generally preferred to make the primary doc reference). Trying to make one page serve all documentation purposes rarely works. -- Aahz (aahz(a)pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Many customs in this life persist because they ease friction and promote productivity as a result of universal agreement, and whether they are precisely the optimal choices is much less important." --Henry Spencer |
