:::::::Thank you for your elaboration and your suggestion regarding where to direct our effort. I want to clarify that we aim to make this page better as a general informative resource and not as a study material, but perhaps we were bad at demonstrating our intention and so we apologize for that. After all it is our first attempt. Anyway, I get where you are coming from regarding your explanation to the revision, but I want to ask this so I can better understand: would it not be better to have the program written in such a way that is more traditionally seen in actual coding practice compared to having it be presented in a bare-bones fashion? I would argue that by presenting the program in the way of the former, it is still in spirit of bettering this encyclopedic page.

::::::::First, I don't agree with the premise that your version was an example of something a typical python programmer would produce. And no, I don't think it would be better to make an example of 'actual coding practice' - that these are minimalist examples is a feature, not a bug. Python in particular tends to have a lot of clever, densely written code, which practitioners say is 'pythonic'. I don't think we should reproduce that kind of thing, and I don't think more complex example programs that are trying to demo additional language features is the direction this article should move in.

== neural network ==

how does this work? [[Special:Contributions/115.247.106.78|115.247.106.78]] ([[User talk:115.247.106.78|talk]]) 11:38, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

== Strings as a separate heading? ==

The discussion of Python strings appears in the list of expressions, which seems odd (if not fully wrong). I propose that a new section be started on Python's strings, starting with the current text and maybe expanding somewhat.

== Python and BASIC ==

Seems that nobody have noticed that Python is very similar to a very old language: BASIC. BASIC has a lot of versions and like Python has interpreter and compiler versions. [[Special:Contributions/84.111.134.34|84.111.134.34]] ([[User talk:84.111.134.34|talk]]) 13:16, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

:Python is very similar to many languages that existed before it was created. Listing them, and trying to parse which was most influential, could be revisionist history. [[User:Paulehoffman|Paulehoffman]] ([[User talk:Paulehoffman|talk]]) 01:31, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
