@chinchliff Thanks for this. The file novice/python/03-loop.md
is generated using
$ make ipynb
Do you mind
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:swcarpentry/bc.git
$ git fetch upstream
$ git checkout upstream/gh-pages
$ git checkout -b improve-python-loop
novice/python/03-loop.md
at novice/python/03-loop.ipynb
.$ make ipynb
$ git commit -a
$ git push origin improve-python-loop
Why am I requesting this? (1) To you learn a little about branches, (2) to avoid the commit where you edit novice/python/03-loop.md
by hand and (2) to avoid the various "minor formatting edit" commits. If you need any help just ask.
Hi @chinchliff,
We can make this even easier - if you're willing to wait a couple of days, you'll be able to make your change in Markdown only (no IPython Notebook) in the new Python lesson repo - we're that close to merging it. Please stay tuned... Or if you want to go ahead and merge here, please do - we're happy to get content either way.
cheers, Greg
Hi Greg, Raniere,
I'm happy to wait a couple of days. If you could give me a heads up when the new repo is ready I'll make a new pull request there with the changes.

I added a challenge problem that introduces while loops--these don't seem to be critical to the lesson material but they are an important element of programming and it seems useful to at least mention them here. I also reworded some of the explanation/discussion of mutable vs. immutable variables, in an effort to improve clarity. Finally, I made a couple of other (very minor) changes to some examples.
