Part One introduces Python iterables and iterators and generators. This part covers the advanced use of generators while building an interactive two-player network game.

Announcing XTerm Colour Chart 2.0 “Old and busted: Colour Cubes. New hotness: Colour Cows” release.

The script has been completely rewritten. It now requires python 2.3 or later for the optparse command-line parsing module.

Many new features have been added to this version:

• Five different charts available in 256 and 88-colour modes
• Origin and rotation of colour cube is now configurable
• Size of colour cells is now configurable
• Colour palette now exactly matches xterm defaults
• Resetting colour palette is now flicker-free
• Source code is much nicer (and commented!)
