Check out Raymond Hettingers Transforming Code into Beautiful, Idiomatic Python talk on youtube [1].

Great talk on avoiding some of the common pitfalls new python developers step in. Exposes some nice language features.

I'm sorry it didn't spur your intellectual curiosity. I was having a real good Sunday of discovery and play with data crunching.

I felt the need to share it. I guess I found it fun...and thought some one else might too.

First I posted a blog on my need for Meaningful Key Phrases and Tag Sets to run against data I"m harvesting.

Then I posted an overview of how an API saved my ass from many hours of programming this intelligence in another blog post called. A Programmers Need for an Application Programming Interface (API)

Then I posted the one you found did nothing to engage your intellectual curiosity called, Transforming Text Into Knowledge API. This post summed up the API and what it did for me.

Maybe you do this kind of work all the time?

But I"m playing around with many different ways of harvesting, storing and distilling down data right now....and felt the work I did on Sunday was intellectually stimulating.

In the current online world...I think its relevant too.
