    ...Python and the Interactive Shell 'IPython' A 5-minute introduction to the enhanced interactive shell 'IPython'. Superior to the default Python shell, IPython provides power object introspection features, easy access to operating system commands and text editor integration. (actual video/screencast) A Demonstration of ReStructuredText A quick look at a style of marking up plaintext called "reStructuredText" with hotkeys from the Emacs text editor to view the result as HTML, PDF and ...

    ...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...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...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...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python appeared to offer the prospect of having both clarity and productivity at the same time. And if we ever needed to make use of Java's class libraries there was always Jython, an implementation of Python for the JVM. The increasing number of Python books being published testified to the language's growing popularity, and the number of available libraries was beginning to rival Perl's. This convinced me to give Python a try. Python Finds a Home Soon thereafter, I introduced Python to my fe...

Advanced content management systems such as Plone and django CMS. Python's standard library supports many Internet protocols: HTML and XML JSON E-mail processing. Support for FTP, IMAP, ...

  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (1st ed.)

    ...Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus). Today, I can safely say that Python has changed my life. I have moved to a different continent. I spend my working days developing large systems in Python, when I'm not hacking on Python or answering Python-related email. There are Python T-shirts, workshops, mailing lists, a newsgroup, and now a book. Frankly, my only unfulfilled wish is to have my pictu...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python. At the time of our investigation, Python had reached version 2.5, and a what we felt was a credible level of maturity. While not a "main-stream" choice, Python was attractive because of its cross-platform abilities and the productivity I felt the language could bring to the team. Some of my team members were skeptical and preferred the tried-and-true power of C/C++ for systems programming. We decided that those members would work on the web GUI for configuration of the product,...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python's interpreted nature was also a benefit: Code ideas can easily be tested in the Python interactive shell, and lack of a compilation phase makes for a shorter edit/test cycle. All of these factors combine to make Python a terrific alternative to C++ and Java as a general purpose programming language. ForecastWatch.com was made possible because of the ease of programming complex tasks in Python, and the rapid development that Python allows. About the Author Eric Floehr specializes in larg...
