The following command:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8181

will serve the current directory where the command is executed by starting a HTTP server on port 8181.

The wasListReverse will reverse a list containing elements of any type.

def wasListReverse (l):
    if len(l) <= 1:
        return l
    return listReverse(l[1:]) + [ l[0] ]

Example call:

i = ["sdf", 11, 22, 39]
print listReverse(i)

Output:

[39, 22, 11, 'sdf']

Using the programming language's features, we can derive different forms of wasListReverse.

The listReverseTern function makes use of the ternary operator (introduced in Python 2.5) in order to get rid of the conditional in the wasListReverse function:

###########################################################################
def listReverseTern (l):
    return l if len(l) <= 1 else listReverseTern(l[1:]) + [ l[0] ]

The listReverse lambda expression will leverage the ternary operator from the listReverseTern function and trim down the function to a single line:

wasListReverseLambda = lambda x : x if len(x) <= 1 else wasListReverseLambda(x[1:]) + [ x[0] ]

Example call:

wasListReverseLambda = lambda x : x if len(x) <= 1 else wasListReverseLambda(x[1:]) + [ x[0] ]
 
print wasListReverseLambda(["sdf", 11, 22, 39])

Output:

[39, 22, 11, 'sdf']

By expressing the combinator using the combinator as explained, the combinator can be implemented in Python.

w = lambda x : x( x );
Y = lambda y : w( lambda f : y( lambda x : w(f)(x) ) );

An example call, to calculate the factorial of , would be:

Factorial = Y( lambda f : lambda n : 1 if n <= 1 else n * f(n - 1) );
print Factorial(10);

In case packages cannot be installed and a MemoryError exception is thrown, then most likely it is due to pip attempting to load packages in memory. To solve the issue, run pip with the additional --no-cache-dir parameter.
