  • Image-SIG - Image Processing with Python SIG

    Image-SIG - Image Processing with Python SIG Image Processing with Python SIG This SIG provides an open forum for Python users interested in image handling and processing; anything from simply reading and writing image files to scientific image processing, geographical information systems, remote sensing, and more. Current SIG Status Subscription information Archives

  • Image Processing with Python SIG Status

    Image Processing with Python SIG Status Image Processing with Python SIG Status We currently are developing an image extension to Python, called the Python Imaging Library (PIL). An interface to a Type1 font engine is also in production, see A Type1 Font Renderer for Python for more information.

  • t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python

    t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python This interface to a Type1 font rendering engine allows Python programs access to a large number of fonts which have not been so readily usable before. The interface provides access to the "t1lib" library by Rainer Menzner. The rasterizer is based on the work which IBM contributed to the X Consortium for inclusion in the X11 distribution.

  • Import Sig

    Import Sig Introduction PEP 382 (namespace packages) and to perform any additional import.c and importlib refactoring that would be useful to this cause. The intent is that this SIG will be re-retired after Python 3.3 is released.

  • SIG on PSF SIGs and Mailing Lists

  • Pythonmac-SIG - SIG on Python for the Apple Macintosh

    Pythonmac-SIG - SIG on Python for the Apple Macintosh The Python-Macintosh SIG is used to foster discussions about Mac-specific issues of Python. The list is primarily meant to discuss design and implementation of Python on the Mac, and possibly coordinate the actual implementation work done. The topics can include such varying things as a Python development environment, using Python for CGI-scripts, OSA support, OpenDoc parts, MacOS toolbox access, Tk, etc. While the list is developer-orient...

  • SIG for Standard Library Development

    SIG for Standard Library Development The Stdlib-SIG is for development, improvement, and maintenance of the Python standard library. Work is being done to break out the standard library and test suite as a separate package, available to developers of alternate Python implementations such as Jython and IronPython. Discussion takes place on the stdlib-sig mailing list.

  • SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems

    SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems This special interest group (SIG) exists in order to discuss the emerging field of computing in the context of ultra large-scale systems and how such systems relate to or can be built with Python. The term "Ultra Large-Scale Systems" comes out of the research that was done in 2005-2006 by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's ULS Systems team. It entails the "creation" of systems of the next 10-20 years (and possibly beyond),...

  • Web SIG

    Web SIG The Python Web SIG is dedicated to improving Python's support for interacting with World Wide Web services and clients. Charter The first task should be to create a plan (in the form of a PEP) for bringing the Web support in the standard Python library up to modern standards. This would address capabilities such as (but not limited to) CSS parsing, XHTML parsing and generation support, client-side and server-side SSL support, simple server frameworks, multi-part/form-data POST suppor...

  • SIG for XML Processing in Python

    SIG for XML Processing in Python SIG for XML Processing in Python This list has been created to provide a forum for discussion and implementation of tools to make Python an excellent choice for XML processing. Mission Statement XML is the Extensible Markup Language, a standard defined by the World Wide Web Consortium. Originally developed as a standard to enable the interchange of structured data, XML has expanded to encompass databases, distributed computing, and so on. The XM...

  • Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines

    Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines Python SIG Creation Guidelines The guidelines for creation of new SIGs are rather informal, but a few key things are necessary. First we outline the general framework of the SIGs and then we describe what you have to do if you want us to create a new SIG. The SIG mailing lists are managed by GNU Mailman, a web-based interface for mailing lists written in Python. Un/subscription requests, archiving of messages, etc. all happen automatically, without...

  • SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing

    SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing This SIG was created to discuss and build a catalog of Python resources. The SIG charter was: The Python Catalog SIG aims at producing a master index of Python software and other resources. It will begin by figuring out what the requirements are, converging on a design for the data schema, and producing an implementation. ("Implementation" will almost certainly include mean a set of CGI scripts for browsing t...

  • Catalog Requirements

    Catalog Requirements Catalog Requirements There are a few steps needed to find and install a package: Discovery : which module does what I need? Download : where can I get a copy? Security : is this actually from the package author, and not a Trojan horse? Installation : how do I compile the package, install it, and set it up? Updating : what's the latest version of a package? do I need to get an updated version for my system? The ...

  • Compiler-SIG

    Compiler-SIG Compiler-SIG This SIG provides a forum for discussing compilation and program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the co...

  • DO-SIG - Python Distributed Objects Special Interest Group

  • Python Getopt SIG

    Python Getopt SIG Python Getopt SIG The purpose of this SIG was to come up with a new and improved library for command-line parsing in Python 2.3. Everybody seems to agree that the venerable getopt module just doesn't do enough. The trick is to find something that is sufficiently powerful and flexible without being too complex to use, especially for novice programmers. The SIG was kicked off shortly after David Goodger and Greg Ward (your humble narrator and champion of this SI...

  • Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

    Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries NOTE: this page is present for historical purposes only. The getopt-sig is retired, and Optik was added to the Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by ...
