  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

    ...any open source project for the asking.

    ...anymore after that day, even if someone finds a security problem in it. You should upgrade to Python 3 as soon as you can. Why are you doing this? We needed to sunset Python 2 so we can help Python users by improving Python faster. We released Python 2.0 in 2000. We realized a few years later that we needed to make big changes to improve Python. So in 2006, we started Python 3.0. Many people did not upgrade, and we did not want to hurt them. So, for many years, we have kept improving and publish...

    ...any recent browser was of no use for this project. Java's verbose syntax as compared to Python was also a point against it. Python was just as portable as Java and a much easier to learn and use language.

Starting with a few simple Python scripts using VTK, I was able to get my colleagues up and running fairl...

The cure was to clear all weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any callback...
