सूनापन

मुद्दत हो गयी उन तन्हायियो को गुजरे , फिर भी इन आँखों में नमी क्यों है  ? तोड़ दिया मोहब्बत पर से यकीन मेरा, फिर भी मेरी दुनिया में तेरी कमी क्यों है ? हसरत है क्यों आज भी तेरी चाहत की मुझे, क्यों याद तेरी जेहेन से मिटती नहीं ? जलजला क्यों उमड़ता है ख्वाबो में मेरे, उस आशिकी की आगज़नी क्यों है  ? सन्नाटो में भी क्यों सुनता हू तुझे मेरी परछाई से क्यों तू जाती नहीं ? इन डबडबाती आँखों को तलाश तेरी, आज भी कहीं क्यों है   ?

How the Python import system works

How the Python import system works From:  https://tenthousandmeters.com/blog/python-behind-the-scenes-11-how-the-python-import-system-works/ If you ask me to name the most misunderstood aspect of Python, I will answer without a second thought: the Python import system. Just remember how many times you used relative imports and got something like  ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package ; or tried to figure out how to structure a project so that all the imports work correctly; or hacked  sys.path  when you couldn't find a better solution.

Here’s some things I’d like younger developers to think about, in no particular order: Sometimes a website is just a website. The browser is already a client; HTML is its language. The web is built around server-side rendering. You can provide your data in more than one way; consider HTML to be one of several possible data representations. Scaling your server helps everyone. Expecting client-side scaling only helps people with the fastest computers and Internet connections. Not everyone has (or can use) a mouse. Not everyone has (or can use) a keyboard. Not everyone has (or can use) a touchscreen. Not everyone can see colors or pictures the same way you can. Not everyone can process information the same way you do. It is inhumane to move things around on people. The browser’s native HTML parsing is far faster than anything you can wr...
