I was listening to the Fall Music Preview on the All Songs Considered podcast today, and fell in love with The Streets – Heaven For the Weather. It’s such a fun, easy to listen to, UK pop song. I found myself rewinding to listen to it again immediately after the song finished. [...]
Sometimes the need arises to pass a python list, tuple, dictionary, etc. from one page to another.
