Windows users may also be interested in Mark Hammond's win32all, a collection of Windows-specific extensions including COM support and Pythonwin, an IDE built using Windows components. Update (2002/04/23): Windows users should download a new UNWISE.EXE from Wise that fixes a bug which could cause the uninstaller to disappear in some circumstances. Just drop it over the old uninstaller, which will be at C:\Python22\UNWISE.EXE unless you chose a different directory at install ...

At least a third of the students continue to have some involvement in their projects. DETAIL Based on past experience, we decided that: We would only allow applications that entailed involvement in existing projects, rather than new projects entirely from scratch where the student would not have the opportunity to interact with ...

He suggests getting sponsor members to actually pay their dues might be easier if a fixed deadline and set consequences were established and clear. Jeremy points out the Bylaws are specific in the matter of consequences: a sponsor member who has not paid his like a member in all respects except he cannot vote.

The business logic that drives these components was written in Python, ninety percent of which is common to all of the tools.

    ...allocator has been included. This allocator is optimized for Python objects and should be faster and use less memory than the standard system allocator. It is not enabled by default because of possible thread safety problems. The allocator is only protected by the Python interpreter lock and it is possible that some extension modules require a thread safe allocator. The object allocator can be enabled by providing the "--with-pymalloc" option to configure. Standard library pyexpa...

We compare mass ability to write and modify software with mass literacy, and expect that equally fundamental changes to society may ensue. Since hardware is now sufficiently fast and cheap to make mass computer education possible, we believe that the ability for the average computer user to create and modify software (rather than just installing and using it) will enable the next big change-and we consider...

The design and construction of a ship involves a high degree of concurrent engineering. To solve this problem Tribon uses a Product Information Model (PIM), which is the central repository and single source of information for designers, planners, administrators of material, manufacturing personnel, and others working on design and construction.

We could fire up iChat and interact with the bots via IM, using a simple and limited english-like grammar It allowed us to make the core system relatively small, since we didn't need to bundle in the work that was being done by the bots. Sure, there was still code to write, but the bot code is conceptually and physically decoupled from the stuff that drives the ...

First, the class's __new__ method is called, passing the class itself as first argument, followed by any (positional as well as keyword) arguments received by the original call. This returns a new instance. Then that instance's __init__ method is called to further initialize it. (This is all controlled by the __ca...

Now, the overallocation is no more than three elements -- this improves space utilization for applications that have large numbers of small lists. Most list bodies now get re-used rather than freed. Speeds up list instantiation and deletion by saving calls to malloc() and free(). The dict.update() method now accepts all ...
