I've finally had a chance over the last few
weekends to to do a little python coding, working
with cherrypy and sending json back and forth from a
browser to the server and back again, and have a few
newbie topics that I wouldn't mind getting some
input on from those with more experience.
1. A definitive discussion on "self" and when to use
it. And somewhat related to that discussion, I'd
also like to get a more firm understanding of
how/when to employ methods/functions (defs),
classes, modules, and packages.
2. Pythonic alternatives to the switch/select case
statement. I found several discussions about it
online and ultimately took the function mapping
dictionary approach myself, but I think it would
make for an interesting discussion going over some
of the alternatives (if-elif, function dictionary,
polymorphism, etc).
3. If anyone has experience with cherrypy, it'd be
great to talk about getting that setup as well. I
found that getting the Hello World example working
was trivial, but going beyond that ended up being
somewhat of a hassle due to relatively limited
documentation/examples and apparently inconsistent
version releases. That said, I did eventually get
it working the way I wanted for now, but I'm sure
I'll run into more issues moving forward (like
reconfiguring it to go from a standalone development
environment to more of a production role and/or
fronting it with apache or nginx).

I'd personally like to see
something about virtualenv or git.
