The next DCPIGgies (DC Python Interest Group) meeting is less than a
week away. The meeting will be held at CNRI on Monday, March 13 from
7:30pm to 9:00pm.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to me: jeremy at cnri.reston.va.us.
Speaker: Scott Cotton
Static Type and Interface Checking for Python
General Review and Fundamental Decisions
Abstract
----------
This presentation reviews various possible ways of adding static type
checking to python. The problem poses two questions:
1) What sort of static type checking system would be most
appropriate for python?
2) By what means may static type checking be made optional?
A decision tree for each question is presented based on a combination
of type theory, an understanding of python, and properties that have
become apparent in the development of a sample type checking system.
Finally, we discuss some overall approaches that would maximize the
benefits and/or minimize the drawbacks of adding optional static type
checking to python.
Scott will be speaking from 8:00 to 9:00pm. We will have food and
introductions starting at 7:30pm. We may also have some time after
the talk for Q&A with Guido and Barry on Python and JPython.
Pizza, salad, and soda will be provided courtesy of Foretec Seminars.
Please RSVP by email to jeremy at cnri.reston.va.us. I need to know how
many people will attend and how many will be eating pizza.
