Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Jun 10)

[Alexandre Fayolle]

Hello,

Sorry to interrupt, but I have to correct a misleading statement in the
latest Dr. Dobb's Python URL. 

Kragen Sitaker a écrit :

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is not true. For programming in Prolog style in Python, you can use
Christophe Delord's Pylog (http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/pylog/).
This will give you facts, and rules, as you would have using SWI-Prolog
or GnuProlog. 

The constraint module won't let you do variable unification as you would
do it in prolog. It takes a set of variables with their domains and a
set of constraints on the values of these variables to find all possible
simultaneous assignments to these variable that satisfies the
constraints. 

Cheers,
