  • Compiler-SIG

    Compiler-SIG Compiler-SIG This SIG provides a forum for discussing compilation and program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the co...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...compilers. In this project, the ability for Python to be embedded into other code worked very well. The documentation is excellent and the examples are easy to follow. However, the PowerPanel hardware has no hard disk and thus could not itself compile the Python interpreter's C sources. To work around this problem, the developers cross-compiled Python from another machine, producing object code for the PowerPC using a compiler running on another type of hardware. Once this was done, Python byte ...

    ...compiler and support libraries, Python code runs more than fast enough for most applications. The traditional implementation of CPython uses a bytecode virtual machine; PyPy supports just-in-time (JIT) compilation to machine code. Also, Jython and IronPython (see below) support JIT compilation on their respective virtual machine implementations. Python plays well with others Python can integrate with COM, .NET, and CORBA objects. For Java libraries, use Jython, an implementation of Python for ...

    ...compilers was still an issue in 1996, and because I considered the benefits of C++ for the small amount of compiled code in the project insufficient to compensate for the complexity of the language. Library architecture The architecture of MMTK is clearly Python-driven. To the user, it presents itself as a pure Python library. The C code in MMTK was written from scratch in the form of Python extension modules that only handle the few time-critical aspects: evaluation of interaction energies, a...

  • Notes

    ...compiler will report a SyntaxError if "from ... import *" occurs in a function or class scope. The language reference has documented that this case is illegal, but the compiler never checked for it. The recent introduction of nested scope makes the meaning of this form of name binding ambiguous. In a future release, the compiler may allow this form when there is no possibility of ambiguity. repr(string) is easier to read, now using hex escapes instead of octal, and using t, n and r ...

  • Download Python Sources

    Download Python Sources For most Unix systems, you must download and compile the source code (see the latest releases). The same source code archive can also be used to build the Windows and Mac versions, and is the starting point for ports to all other platforms. You can browse the sources online through the repository viewer. If you want to help with the Python Project, see the Python Developer's Guide.

    Python Distutils-SIG: Proposed User Interface Python Distutils-SIG Proposed User Interface In addition to identifying the common tasks and division of labour involved in developing, distributing, and installing Python modules, the "Extension Building Considered Painful" Developer's Day Session also came up with a proposed user interface. The core idea of the interface is that the module developer would provide a small Python script, called setup.py ...

  • Ancient Releases

    Ancient Releases Andrew Dalke was clever and persistent enough to scrape Python 0.9.1 out of the Usenet alt.sources archives and assemble a compressed tarball. It's here mostly as a historical relic. If you want a compiled binary (on Linux) you can install it with conda (ideally in its own conda environment): conda install -c davidmertz python=0.9 Skip Montanaro has created a GitHub repository of Python 0.9.1 source.

  • Python Success Stories

    ...compiler for Python. Quirks There are just two quirks that affected our development with Python. The relative impact they had on our project was tiny compared to Python's benefits but for balance we feel they are worth mentioning: 1) Like Java and other languages, Python occasionally deprecates old features, or fixes minor bugs in a way that can potentially break existing code. This is done over the course of a number of releases, so that programmers will first see deprecation warnings, and o...

  • Highlights: Python 2.5

    ...compiler now converts the source code to an abstract syntax tree (AST) before producing the bytecode. The 'with' operator replaces a common try/finally idiom that results in much cleaner and safer code. Generators gained send, throw and close methods. Values passed to send will be returned by the yield statement when the generator is resumed. throw takes an exception and causes the yield statement to raise the passed exception in the generator. close is used to terminate a generator. This turns ...

  • What is Python? Executive Summary

    What is Python? Executive Summary What is Python? Executive Summary Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore r...
