  ...Python The language I chose for the code generators was, of course, Python. Its simplicity and power are perfect for the job of reading data files and producing code. To simplify the integration with the C++ code, the Python generators are inserted directly into the C++ file as comments. Cog reads a text file (C++ in our case), looking for specially-marked sections of text, that it will use as generators. It executes those sections as Python code, capturing the output. The output is then splice...

• Towards a Standard Parser Generator

  ...Python library. In this paper, we compare several Python parser generators, using the XPath language as an application. Criteria for comparison are ease of use, performance, and ease of deployment. Using these criteria, we give a recommendation for including parser generators into the standard library.. Keywords: Parsers, XPath, YAPPS, Spark, BisonGen Introduction While little languages have been discussed in the Python community for quite some time [Ayc98], little progress has...

• Parser-SIG - SIG on Parser Generation for Python

  ...Python This SIG was created to discuss and select a standard parser generator for Python; it has now been retired due to inactivity. The list of parser generators has moved to /topics/parsing.html.

• Highlights: Python 2.5

  ...Python 2.5 Highlights: Python 2.5 Here are some of the (subjective) highlights of Python 2.5. More detail on almost all of the new features can be found in the document What's New In Python 2.5 More Reliable Python now uses the Buildbot tool for continuous testing on a wide range of platforms. This allows us to spot problems faster during development, and resulted in a much more robust release. Andrew Kuchling determined that there were over 350 patches and over 450 bugs fixed since Python...

• Python Success Stories

  ...Python: Automatically calculate image sizes? The Python Imaging Library does this with ease. Parse XML files? There are several XML parsers available in Python. Load and store XML to and from databases? The Python DB-API is standardized and modules exist for MySQL, Postgres, Interbase, Oracle, ODBC, Sybase, and others. Fetch XML from the web? Python's urlparse and urllib standard libraries were made for that. Handle Unicode? Python 2.0 fully supports Unicode out of the box. Implementing th...

• Python Success Stories

  ...Python generator application that would drive a set of front end translators, a content inserter, and a post-processing formatter to generate the reports. Python had recently been chosen as our department's successor language for automated test scripts. I noticed Python's potential beyond use for testing, so I obtained permission from my manager to use it for this task. The front end translators in this application harvest content (pictures, tables, paragraphs) from various data sources and pla...

• Parade of the PEPs

  ...Python code broken with this. No array attributes (namely shape, flat, real and imag) for Python versions previous to 2.2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level. Two of them should not be problems for most users using Python 2.2 or later. It does have a number of importa...

• Python Software Foundation: Press Release 8-Apr-2002

  ...Python programming language and standard libraries. This maintenance release confirms the PSF's commitment to supporting older Python versions. "We're happy to offer this maintenance release. This is not the latest and greatest version of Python, but it introduces several important improvements for people who prefer to continue running Python 2.1," said Guido van Rossum, creator of Python and president of the Python Software Foundation. About Python: Python is a powerful object or...

• Python 2.2

  Python 2.2 Python 2.2 Note: See Python 2.2.3 for a patch release which supersedes 2.2. Important: This release is vulnerable to the problem described in security advisory PSF-2006-001 "Buffer overrun in repr() of unicode strings in wide unicode builds (UCS-4)". This fix is included in Python 2.4.4 and Python 2.5. If you need to remain with Python 2.2, there's a patch available from the security advisory page. We are extremely pleased to announce the relea...

• Catalog Requirements

  ...Python modules. Related requirement: the Distutils sdist and bdist_* commands should have a --sign switch to sign the generated .tgz, .rpm, or whatever file. Requirements from #4 None Requirements from #5 Not covered by this page. This includes checking for updated versions, tracking dependencies between Python packages, and between Python packages and system libraries. These seem to be difficult problems that require a database of Python packages installed on a system...

• Highlights: Python 2.4

  ...Python prior to 2.4a2 would leave a broken module in sys.modules - subsequent attempts to import the failing module would silently succeed, but use the broken module object. The import machinery now removes the failing module from sys.modules if the import fails. The -m command line option - python -m modulename will find a module in the standard library, and invoke it. For example, python -m pdb is equivalent to python /usr/lib/python2.4/pdb.py New or upgraded built-ins built-in sets - th...

• Glue It All Together With Python

  ...Python website http://www.python.org. Like Tcl, Python is easily extensible with C/C++/Java code, and easily embeddable in applications. Python even uses Tk, the Tcl GUI toolkit, for a de-facto standard portable GUI toolkit. Unlike Tcl, however, Python supports object-oriented programming. Python programmers can create classes, use multiple inheritance, define methods, overload operators, and so on. Python's Strengths Syntactically, Python code looks like executable pseudo cod...

• Python Success Stories

  ...Python? The author had two reasons to undertake this project: To save time keeping up with IT related news. To learn Python. DevNet is a fairly simple application, so it was appropriate as a first project while learning Python. The first prototype version of DevNet used Quixote's PTL for templating and had no database. Python made development of this prototype very rapid, despite the author's initial unfamiliarity with the language. After this was completed, the rapid development nature of Py...

• 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...

• Python Software Foundation: Press Release 29-Jul-2003

For more information about Python 2.3 or to download it, please visit http://www.python.org/2.3/ About Python Python is a powerful object oriented programming language that is developed and maintained by a global community of Open Source contributors, under the oversight of the Python Software Foundation.

• Python Success Stories

  ...Python was a faster way to code (and re-code) the programs that controlled the production pipeline. Python Streamlines Production But Python was not designed just as a replacement for shell scripting and, as it turns out, Python enabled much more for ILM than just process control. Unlike Unix shell scripting, Python can be embedded whole as a scripting language within a larger software system. In this case, Python code can invoke specific functions of that system, even if those functions are w...

• Summary of "Extension Building" Session

  ...Python script tentatively called setup.py (the fact that this name overlaps somewhat with the module description file in the Python distribution and in many large module distributions is deliberate, and may be construed as a bug or a feature). See below for arguments to setup.py and what happens when it's run. Also, nobody disagreed with my contention that the system should work on "extensions" (ie. modules written in C) or plain ol' "modules" (written in P...

• Notes

  ...Python 2.4 beta 2? Release date: 03-NOV-2004 License The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python is released, to remove Python version numbers. There were no other changes to the license. So, for example, wherever the license for Python 2.3 said "Python 2.3", the new license says "Python". The intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more durable way. For example, some people say they're confused by that the Open Source Ini...
