Since I am still in consumption, holiday, non work, mode, decided to finally dust off and read the final paperback Python textbook, I had.

Learnt about the Itertools module, learnt decorators and error handling. P.S. Adding these posts back to the planet, because more than a couple of you, kind folk, have been missing me.

Was at the doc, unexpectedly most of the day today. So could not do much. Decided to familiarise myself with the basics of SQL by watching this series.
