  • That was my first thought when I saw it too, but I went and looked and was reminded how bad my geography knowledge is!

    There’s really not much in the southern hemisphere. I spent most of my life in Australia and generally thought of Africa and South America as being down under with us, but 2/3 of Africa is above the equator and even 10% of South America is “north”.










  • I’m a little determined to stick with Python because I feel that I should - everyone should be able to code Python :-)

    The main problem I have with it is the complex, relaxed, data structures. I’m finding that the type() command in interactive mode is helping a lot. I’m having lots of moments like - “Ah, I’m not down to the dict yet, I’m still in the list…”


  • Thank you for your detailed response. It’s a bit much for my proposed “project”. I won’t be using any libraries (other than built-in python json etc.). I’ve prototyped most of it and it’s currently about 15 lines of code. Literally one call to lemmy, a search to Musicbrainz and a playlist update to listenbrainz. I know it will grow lots as I make it a bit more robust, but it’s still very small.
