PyMOTW: Call for input
Tomorrow's post will cover the ConfigParser module. Beyond that, I have a few more weeks planned out, and am looking for suggestions for which modules to cover next.

socket
in order of usage lately, I use:
1) os
2) sys
3) os.path
4) re
Beyond that, glob has some neat features you can show off. Struct comes in handy when you least expect it. I just found difflib recently, which helped me in a project.
Looking through the list of modules, you can say something interesting about nearly every one (soundex excluded :)
Ah, socket will be a complex one to summarize in any meaningful way. I'll have to hunt around for some good, simple, examples. Any suggestions?
Bill, those are good work-horse modules and I'll definitely cover them. I haven't used difflib, so I'll try to get to that soon for my own edification.
And I'll try to find something interesting to say about soundex, too! :-)
Thanks for the feedback!
I think the following modules would be interesting:
- itertools
- optparse
- logging
- gettext
- traceback
Thanks, Will,
I'll bump those up toward the top of my list.
