  • SIG on Graphical User Interfaces for Python

    SIG on Graphical User Interfaces for Python SIG on Graphical User Interfaces for Python This sig has been retired. New postings to the mailing list will be rejected, but the archives of the old list are still available for perusal. See the SIGs home page for info about active and inactive lists. Over a dozen graphical user-interface Python modules have been developed. While this speaks to the power of Python's extension capabilities, there is significant interest in defi...

    ...graphics library, VTK, was also available as open source. VTK is an extremely powerful visualization library written in C++. It is very portable and runs on various flavors of Unix, Windows, and recently on Mac OS X. VTK was chosen as the most appropriate solution, but it was not enough to solve the problem at hand. An application was needed on top of the VTK library before non-programmers equipped only with specialized domain knowledge could sit at a computer and visualize their data. Pyth...

    ...graphics are a good way to catch a younger audience's attention, but its 2D graphics look somewhat boring compared to the video games teenagers are familiar with these days. Alice is another good example of a 3D graphics environment that is more engaging than turtle graphics. In the spirit of "mass computer literacy" and the open source movement, we will create and maintain a website to make the software and educational materials widely and freely available, and set up feedback pages ...

  • Unpacking Archives

    Unpacking Archives Downloads available from python.org may be of many different types. The following provides a bit of information about them, and what applications can be used to unpack them. .tar.bz2 These files are TAR archives that have been compressed using the bzip2 application. Most Unix users will want to use these, as they offer the best compression and the tools to work with them are likely already installed. Windows users may want to install the bzip2 tools on their systems as wel...

(A link to the freely available graphics package is included above.) And finally, while it is not an academic paper, Why Python is a great language for teaching beginners in introductory programming classes by Philip Guo is certainly worth reading. Game time! If it weren't for games, there likely would have been many fewer people...

    Python Success Stories Introduction This story is about applying Python in the automated CD/DVD disc packaging industry. In the wholesale market, CD/DVD discs are sold in units of 10, 20 or 50 in one shrink-wrapped bulk package. Counting out stacks of discs for these packages is labor-intensive and requires several steps to accomplish: picking up an estimated number of discs from a large stack, verifying the correctness of the number of discs using a disc counter, adding or removing discs t...

    Python Success Stories This article was previously published on Builder.com Introduction Software engineers have long told their bosses and clients that they can have software "fast, cheap, or right," as long as they pick any two of those factors. Getting all three? Forget about it! But United Space Alliance (USA), NASA's main shuttle support contractor, had a mandate to provide software that meets all three criteria. Their experience with Python told them NASA's demands were within...

    ...graphics division dates back to 1979, and its first CG production was the 1982 Genesis sequence from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the early days, ILM was involved with the creation of custom computer graphics hardware and software for scanning, modeling, rendering, and compositing (the process of joining rendered and scanned images together). Some of these systems made significant advances in areas such as morphing and simulating muscles and hair. Naturally, as time went by many of the ea...

    ...graphics are more attractive than Logo's turtle graphics). Alice also gives us some hints on what aspects of Python could be improved: for example, their experiences suggest that Python's case-sensitivity is a problem. However, the emphasis of the Alice project is on 3-D graphics--the Alice tutorial doesn't really teach much in the way of program or data structuring techniques. While we agree that 3-D graphics are a great way to create and keep a young audience captive, we are interested ...

    Python Success Stories Background The Molecular Modeling Toolkit (MMTK) is a open source Python library for molecular modeling and simulation with a focus on biomolecular systems, written in a mixture of Python and C. It provides standard techniques such as Molecular Dynamics or normal mode calculations in a ready-to-use form, but also provides a basis of low-level operations on top of which new techniques can easily be implemented. I started developing MMTK in 1996. I had some experience wit...
