do we have a duplicate for "there is nothing mysterious about statement order"? stackoverflow.com/questions/78650585/…
I only find boatloads of questions about conditionals, import order, ordering of lists, etc
I remember answering a question about expression order and being surprised the language spec only standardized that, not statement order.
I've found a few Q&A that are technically on the same issue (print-after-break not executing) but they are even worse.

I don't suppose there could be a decent dupe for that because it's literally fundamental to how the entire language works. It's hard to understand an OP being confused in that situation
Then again, I suppose there are written languages that read right to left or vertically, so maybe it's not as intuitive as it would be to someone whose first language is English

Hi, can anyone please suggest what should I modify or improve to my question (stackoverflow.com/q/78749116/7673979). I am not sure what I just got a down-vote.
@raf The end of your question asks for package recommendations, which is strictly off-topic. But also, I don't know what your question is. "But I like to make the process automated." what does that mean in any context of your code? Does it give the correct results?

@roganjosh Thank you. I am updating the question for clarity.

@roganjosh It is fundamental to how any language works even natural ones and yet I have students consistently confused by that. I just don't get how they made it this far in life, without understanding this.
What I have seen students who I was supervising do in our chem engineering labs would horrify you
Any django help here?
@KapilYadav If it's in relation to your recent question then please note our room rules to wait 48 hours after posting on the main site. I don't know why, however, you didn't add the to your question because that drastically reduces the chance of it being answered

@roganjosh can you please check if my updated question? Do I need to add more info for understanding my issue?
@ro
@roganjosh I have update it with python in title
10:40 AM
That's obviously not the same thing
@raf The edit makes it clearer but I don't think the premise itself will fly. What you're effectively asking for is a library that wraps your functions, which again would be off-topic. Since all code is "manual" in some way, I'm not sure what you're trying to avoid. You have your function now - if it bugs you so much, you could even write your own wrapper library for it :)
@KapilYadav I'm not joining a chat with you. Whatever you want to say to me can be said here

@roganjosh Sorry that I couldn't make myself clear yet.
No need to apologise to me :) That's just my feedback on the question so you can do with it as you please. As I said, I'm not sure the premise of the question really fits with SO, but that's just my opinion. I haven't voted on it or anything

I am not totally familiar with this specific package. Maybe what I am looking for, can be done with some functions defined in the package. I might need to use some loop-type method.
cbg all. stackoverflow.com/a/36295481/2111778 I think the glob.glob documentation doesn't really make it obvious that you need to check the documentation for the fnmatch module for which patterns are allowed, does anyone agree?
I guess it's in the documentation for the glob module as a whole, but that links to fnmatch.fnmatch, so you'd have to click that, then scroll up to the general fnmatch description
as usual, please ignore that the SO answer does not match the SO question
