  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 8-Apr-2002

    ...Python programming language and standard libraries. This maintenance release confirms the PSF's commitment to supporting older Python versions. "We're happy to offer this maintenance release. This is not the latest and greatest version of Python, but it introduces several important improvements for people who prefer to continue running Python 2.1," said Guido van Rossum, creator of Python and president of the Python Software Foundation. About Python: Python is a powerful object or...

  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 29-Jul-2003

    ...Python code runs 15 to 20 percent faster than it did in Python 2.2," said Guido van Rossum, creator of Python and president of the PSF. "With many bug fixes, enhancements, and a vastly improved IDLE, the Python Integrated Development Environment, Python has become an even better development platform." Python 2.3 also adds boolean and set data types, source file encoding indicator, zipped code archives, package meta data, extended date/time processing, a logging module, and improved sup...

    ...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. The Python Successes Speed of development For us, development in Python has been proven to be much more efficient. 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? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...

    ...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...

No array attributes (namely shape, flat, real and imag) for Python versions previous to 2.2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level.

    ...Python From the Start Journyx Timesheet has been using Python from the beginning. Curt Finch chose Python initially on the recommendation of a friend, Steve Madere, who had founded Dejanews.com (now a part of Google). Describing the rationale for his choice, Curt said "I looked at Java and C and came to the conclusion that 1 line of Python is 10 lines of Java or 100 lines of C. Developers write code at basically a constant rate so I chose Python which was (and is) the highest level language...

In ForecastWatch.com, Python was used for prototyping as well, and those prototypes were able to evolve cleanly into the production code without requiring a complete rewrite or switching toolsets. This saved substantial effort and made the development process more flexible and effective. Because of the clean design of the language, refactoring the Python code was also much easier than in other languages; moving code around simply requires less effort. Python's interpreted nature was also a...
