    ...addition to executing Python generators, Cog itself is written in Python. Python's dynamic nature made it simple to execute the Python code Cog found, and its flexibility made it possible to execute it in a properly-constructed environment to get the desired semantics. Much of Cog's code is concerned with getting indentation correct: I wanted the author to be able to organize his generator code to look good in the host file, and produce generated code that looked good as well, without worrying a...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...additional backwards incompatibilities, this will be done after 2.2 is released (maybe not before Python 3.0). I'll try to say "type" when I mean a built-in type, and "class" when I'm referring to a classic class or something that could be either; if it wouldn't be clear from the context which interpretation is meant, I'll try to be explicit, using "classic class" or "class or type". Subclassing built-in types Let's start with the juiciest bit: you can subtype built-in types like ...

    ...additional funding. The original plan was to have no shipping costs for conferences and user groups requesting copies. It may also mean that we will not be able to pay back the seed funding from the PSF (EUR 13250 paid in 2011/2012) in full. Perhaps not even partially. Regardless of the outcome with respect to reaching our original goal of making the brochure a zero sum investment for the PSF, we still think that it was a really good investment and we're sure that people around the world will lo...

    ...Additionally, despite careful planning and coding strategies, the mixture of PHP and HTML made deciphering and understanding the code more difficult. Fortunately, Python was designed with documentation in mind, with the use of "doc strings" for modules, classes and methods. Since documentation is actually a part of the language itself, and pydoc is a standard module in the Python distribution, it was easy to extract API documentation to HTML and other formats. Over time, we have found ...

  • ...addition to the 8 incumbents. We have a total of 12 candidates for Director this year, but currently the Board is limited to 8 Directors. As Tim Peters put it, "the bigger the board, the more gets done." This motion aims to increase the limit on the number of Directors going forward. We learned in the past that it's better to expand the Board than to miss out on offers of help. This does not mean that all candidates for Director will automatically be elected; this year's Directors w...
