Van was the co-chair and then Chair of PyCon from 2008-2012, served on the PSF Board for over a decade (2012–2023), including four years as Chair (2012–2016) and seven years as ...

  • Python 2.0

    ...math module was changed to stop raising OverflowError in case of underflow, and return 0 instead in underflow cases. Whether Python used to raise OverflowError in case of underflow was platform- dependent (it did when the platform math library set errno to ERANGE on underflow). Fixed a bug in StringIO that occurred when the file position was not at the end of the file and write() was called with enough data to extend past the end of the file. Fixed a bug that caused Tkin...

Many common programming tasks have already been built into the standard library, making it possible to do more with less code. Third-party modules are also available for database access, CORBA, COM, statistics, math, image processing, and much more. 5) Introspection -- Python's flexible data typi...

    ...math.degrees() and math.radians(). math.log() now takes an optional argument: math.log(x[, base]). ftplib.retrlines() now tests for callback is None rather than testing for False. Was causing an error when given a callback object which was callable but also returned len() as zero. The change may create new breakage if the caller relied on the undocumented behavior and called with callback set to [] or some other False value not identical to None. random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state...

Bug #957381: distutils bdist_rpm no longer fails on recent RPM versions that generate a -debuginfo.rpm os.path.devnull has been added for all supported platforms. Fixed #877165: distutils now picks the right C++ compiler command on cygwin and mingw32. urllib.urlopen().readline() now handles HTTP/0.9 correctly. refactored site.py into functions. Also wrote regression tests for the module. The distutils install com...

    ...mathematical flavor) or web-programming topics such as HTML and JavaScript. Unfortunately, both of these approaches have serious limitations. If a course is excessively formal and mathematical, it may only appeal to computer science majors and students of a technical mindset. On the other hand, Web-programming courses, while capitalizing greatly on the popularity of the Internet, tend to narrowly focus on specific technologies such as HTML, Perl, or JavaScript. As a result students learn ...

Instead, I added __new__, which is a perfectly general mechanism that can be used by built-in and user-defined classes, for immutable and mutable objects. Here are some rules for __new__: __new__ is a static...
