  • PSF Fundraiser - test page

    ...all aspects of our lives and is reshaping our future. Nonprofits like the PSF are having to rebuild. With PyCon 2020 and 2021 happening virtually, the PSF is faced with potentially losing $1.2 million USD of expected revenue for those two years. This fundraiser is critically important and the money raised will help the PSF support the tools and initiatives that Pythonistas use everyday. This years' fundraiser is focusing on education. We're excited to be able to collaborate with authors,...

    ...allocation scheme. For larger lists, overallocation ranged between 3% and 25%. Now, it is a constant 12%. For smaller lists (n<8), overallocation was up to eight elements. 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...

    ...all executable (UNWISE.EXE) vanishes. One cause of that has been fixed in the installer (disabled Wise's "delete in- use files" uninstall option).

It used to fail if newsize didn't fit in 32 bits, reflecting a limita...

  • What is Python? Executive Summary

    ...all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn't catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source...

    ...ally founded to use some of the PSF's "spare" money to advance Python projects. It wasn't initially clear what kind of projects where to be funded, hence the original call for projects was fairly wide. In the call, we indicated that we would give away $40,000 (which was a significant fraction of the PSF's assets at that time); in response, we got over 60 project proposals. Many of them were designed so that they would consume the entire $40,000, yet the committee agreed that we would l...
