    ...code in Perl, and it was a spiky mixture of Perl and Tcl that looked even uglier than my own pure-Perl code. It was at this point I remembered the bit I had set more than six months earlier. This could be an opportunity to get some hands-on experience with Python. Of course, this brought me face to face once again with Python's pons asinorum, the significance of whitespace. This time, however, I charged ahead and roughed out some code for a handful of sample GUI elements. Oddly enough, Python's ...

    ...PythonCard, a rapid GUI development tool based on the wxPython GUI framework. Inspired by Apple's HyperCard, PythonCard was impressive in its ability to quickly and easily create a responsive cross-platform GUI. Implemented in Python The LoveIntros implementors chose Python for its expressive, easy-to-maintain nature and its rich set of built-in libraries and excellent third-party modules. Java and Jython, the Java-based implementation of the Python programming language, were both considered a...

    ...Python that we were rely on heavily for this, and which we were happy to see supported in IronPython, was the execution of cell formulae and user code in a separate instance of the underlying Python engine. This isolates the user's spreadsheet code from the running instance of the Resolver One application, preventing us from polluting each other's namespace, or from having to share global settings such as the Python recursion limit. Supporting Agile Development Python is a modern, expressive l...

Figure A: The TTT-Plan Pilot allows users to manipulate object data and links between objects Zoom in For the first tool, TTP-Plan, we created a framework in Python that let us apply Python's introspection features in order to reuse, for several different purposes, the information already present in the...

    ...Python itself and its C-API, I am very excited about the things to come and what awaits for the Python Language and its community :) Pablo Galindo Salgado, Python Core Developer Community trainings A huge turning point in my career was a Python workshop. I programmed a bit as a kid, and took a single CS class in college, and tried to poke along doing some self-study so I could get better. And then I attended a Boston Python Workshop for Women And Their Friends http://bostonpythonworkshop.com/...

  • 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...

  • What is Python? Executive Summary

    ...Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for 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 co...

    ...Python turned out to be more qualified for the job than initially expected i.e. Python turned out to be a true problem solver. At present most of the original Python code is still untouched or replaced by new Python code.

Our developers generally finish Python based projects much quicker than comparable projects in other languages like C, C++, C# or Java. Apart from the latter, P...

    ...Python 3000, continue to use and learn more about the Python version that you do have. I'd like to say a few words about Python's current development model. Until early 2000, there were hundreds of contributors to Python, but essentially all contributions had to go through my inbox. To propose a change to Python, you would mail me a context diff, which I would apply to my work version of Python, and if I liked it, I would check it into my CVS source tree. (CVS is a source code version...
