  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python to know that it is what is nowadays called a "scripting language", an interpretive language with its own built-in memory management and good facilities for calling and cooperating with other programs. So I dived into Programming Python with one question uppermost in my mind: what has this got that Perl does not? Perl, of course, is the 800-pound gorilla of modern scripting languages. It has largely replaced shell as the scripting language of choice for system administrators, tha...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...with other systems. Integrating Python with Apache With the API in place, our next task in developing CORE was to find a useful templating module to integrate our Python code with HTML pages running on the Apache web server. After looking at a number of available Python-based templating modules, we opted to create a simple parser of our own. Our approach was to convert server-side template pages into Python servlets whose output is sent by the HTTP server to the user's browser. Although this w...

    ...Python 2.4 beta 2? Release date: 03-NOV-2004 License The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python is released, to remove Python version numbers.

The intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more durable way. For example, some people say they're confused by that the Open Source Ini...
