I'm going through the Crenshaw tutorial http://compilers.iecc.com/crenshaw/ but translating from TurboPascal/68K to Python/x86. I've only just begun: I just finished the second section of the tutorial, but I have found this helpful. Works on Snow Leopard

cbarrett / BLOCK bself macro
Created March 16, 2011 04:25
I think this was it. I stopped using it because it made Xcode 3 put all errors or warnings for the block on the line of the macro invocation; total nonstarter.
#define BLOCK(...) ({ __block __typeof__(self) bself = self; __VA_ARGS__(); )}

Had this laying around for quite a while -- really useful and kind of dumb it's not built in...
// stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding is pretty conservative about escaping characters, which is fine most of the time. This method however escapes *all special characters*, allowing any arbitrary string to be used when building any part of a URL.
