  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

    ...and the Python community! I no longer feel the need to defend Python: the statistics and developments listed in Mark's Preface speak for themselves. In the past year, Python has made great strides. We released Python 2.0, a big step forward, with new standard library features such as Unicode and XML support, and several new syntactic constructs, including augmented assignment: you can now write x += 1 instead of x = x+1. A few people wondered what the big deal was (answer: instead o...

    ...and don't allow sponsors to become emeritus. This is designed to reflect what most sponsors do/want, and to be more realistic about what happens to companies across buy-outs, reorganizations, and as people come and go. Automatically convert non-active members to emeritus status, and easily allow conversion back to active nominated status. This is so we don't have to do a lot of membership management work, and so we don't run into a state where we cannot reach quorum. Clarify "record date&...

  • Sunsetting Python 2

    ...and we did not want to hurt them. So, for many years, we have kept improving and publishing both Python 2 and Python 3. But this makes it hard to improve Python. There are improvements Python 2 can't handle. And we have less time to work on making Python 3 better and faster. And if many people keep using Python 2, then that makes it hard for the volunteers who use Python to make software. They can't use the good new things in Python 3 to improve the tools they make. We did not want to hurt the p...

    ...and AskFolder. The old macfs.StandardGetFile and friends are deprecated. Most of the standard library now uses pathnames or FSRefs in preference of FSSpecs, and use the underlying Carbon.File and Carbon.Folder modules in stead of macfs. macfs will probably be deprecated in the future. Type Carbon.File.FSCatalogInfo and supporting methods have been implemented. This also makes macfs.FSSpec.SetDates() work again. There is a new module pimp, the package install manager for Python, and accompanying ...
