Interesting bug

[joy99]

Dear Group,

Hope all of you are fine and spending nice new year evenings.

I get a bug in Python over the last 4 years or so, since I am using
it. The language is superb, no doubt about it. It helped me finish
many a projects, with extraordinary accuracy. But long since, I was
getting an interesting bug. In the initial days, I thought it may be
my learning error or usability error. It comes every now and then. The
bug is suppose I am calling a library or using some logical operator,
it works fine initially but if I want to copy the code to some other
modules, same line of codes do not run at all.

The remedy I do is,
(a) I take the code from file and test it in GUI, more astonishingly
in 99% of the cases I found the code llines, are correct.
Then I apply a brute force technique I rewrite the whole code again.
For small codes this technique is okay, but if I write mammoth code,
and all on a sudden some interesting behavior came out, well it really
feels bad. I keep now a days some time out that I have to do this, but
is there any definite solution? I believe there is some, as I do not
know them, as it happens, unnecessarily get upset.

I use Python on WinXP service pack2, I started to use Python2.5.1, and
now I am using Python2.6.5, IDLE as GUI.

Best Regards,
Subhabrata

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it checked. Some useless fellows
forget their own business and poke nose into others business.

Yes, it appears that the mystery is solved: Mark V. Shaney is alive
