[Bradford] Re-learning coding

[david at nucleon.co.uk]

I have to admit that Python can be rather peculiar - I swore a lot at the
start of the Coursera course, but I've mellowed a bit as it's progressed
;-)

There always seems to be half a dozen ways of doing the same thing, so it
can lead to some crazy convoluted code - but there is usually an elegant
solution too (and you kick yourself when you find it ;-)

Hope to be in town in time for pizza...
