Spent 30 min recovering from trying new Gutenberg editor – crashed the site immediately. Spent 3 hours recovering formatting on datetime, time and calendar article. Hopefully it is readable now.

Added a function to return number of payments in the most common case of mortgage payments.

I am delighted to have your comments – positive, negative, constructive, or corrective – you can email me personally at oakey.john@yahoo.com. I’m not really fond of commercial solicitation. This site works on a shoestring so even if you have many genius-level web designers who work for 50 cents an hour, I can’t afford you.

I would love to have content submissions to consider and will give full credit for anything I decide to use. Unfortunately I can not pay for content, nor can I promise how long it will be posted. (You got the “wiki” part of the website name, right?) Again,

 I would like to have any comments, particularly if you spot an error or think you have an idea that will help other users. Big Daddy’s Python Toolboxes are designed to be printed front and back and laminated on 8.5”x11” card stock.  They are dense quick references that remind rather than teach.

Here is how this site got started: Six years ago a 12 year old Grandson said he wanted to learn a “real” programming language for his Raspberry Pi.  I was thinking “C” or maybe Java when I asked him “Which one?” and he replied “Python.”  I learned some Fortran, Cobol, and IBM Basic in college, then “other” versions of Basic when the PC came along. Since then I had acquired a decent skill-set with VBA.  I had never heard of Python. We started out together programming Rock-Scissors-Paper.
