Eventh writes "The final release of Python 2.4 was just released. Python 2.4 is the result of almost 18 month's worth of work on top of Python 2.3. New features are, but not limited to, function decorators, generator expressions, a number of new module and more. Check out Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python for a detailed view of some of the new features of Python 2.4. "

So, obviously, we should be using base (apply '* *n-first-primes*). How about 30 or 210? At least it's not an arbitrary base.

It doesn't matter which base you use. All your base are belong to us.

Linus' comments in the kernel's CodingStyle document are relevant too -- try to keep your functions so that you can read most of them on one screen. Python allows you to do this more often (I find) without resorting to strange brace positions.

My functions do each fit on one screen.

For any sufficiently large definition of screen.
