A very interesting post on the different ways readline can be used in Python:
> .readlines() : reads the whole file at once and creates a list of lines
> .readline() : reads one character at the time
> .xreadlines() : reads one line at a time (for large files).
A short list of links for MetRec (meteor detection program):
It is always fascinating when science fiction becomes reality. This is the case with the Kepler-16b, a binary system that proved to host a cold giant planet (like Saturn), which compiles from gas and rocks. This opens a wide new category of planetary systems since most of the stars belong to a binary system.
For more information see NASA’s Kepler announcement and the related page with star/planet’s properties, along with the publication (Doyle L et al 2011: Science – in press, arXiv-1109.3432).
