  • The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order

    The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order By Michele Simionato. Abstract:This document is intended for Python programmers who want to understand the C3 Method Resolution Order used in Python 2.3. Although it is not intended for newbies, it is quite pedagogical with many worked out examples. I am not aware of other publicly available documents with the same scope, therefore it should be useful. Disclaimer: I donate this document to the Python Software Foundation, under the Python 2.3 lice...

  • Other Documentation Tools

    Other Documentation Tools Other Documentation Tools When considering the state of documentation tools for Python, one should consider what is being done for other systems. This should include tools that work with documentation embedded in source code and tools that work with separated documentation. If you can think of additional tools that should be noted, please let me know about them (free or commercial). If you can point to an example of the markup, that would be great; thank...

    ...c=None). The fget, fset and fdel arguments are the methods called when the attribute is get, set or deleted. If any of these three is unspecified or None, the corresponding operation will raise an AttributeError exception. The fourth argument is the doc string for the attribute; it can be retrieved from the class as the following example shows: >>> class C(object): ... def getx(self): return 42 ... x = property(getx, doc="hello") ... >>> C.x.__doc__ 'hello' >>> ...

  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories Introduction I have been programming in C and C++ since 1994 and have led many teams in Windows system programming. In 2007, in the context of the Armadillo anti-spam software project at Enovad, I was given the requirement that the software must run both under Windows and Linux. To do this, I had to re-train my team of seasoned Windows system developers to also be able to deliver a product on Linux. I chose to re-evaluate the tools and programming language available to ...

    Comparing Python to Other Languages Comparing Python to Other Languages Disclaimer: This essay was written sometime in 1997. It shows its age. It is retained here merely as a historical artifact. --Guido van Rossum Python is often compared to other interpreted languages such as Java, JavaScript, Perl, Tcl, or Smalltalk. Comparisons to C++, Common Lisp and Scheme can also be enlightening. In this section I will briefly compare Python to each of these languages. These comparison...
