  • Python Success Stories

    ...addition to addressing the web-to-desktop integration challenge, this bot-based architecture had three interesting side-effects: It allowed us to interact in real-time with these subsystems. We could fire up iChat and interact with the bots via IM, using a simple and limited english-like grammar It allowed us to make the core system relatively small, since we didn't need to bundle in the work that was being done by the bots. Sure, there was still code to write, but the bot code is conceptually ...

  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...addition to this, there are N string allocation operations, but for sufficiently large N, the term containing N**2 will take over. Indeed, for a list that's 8 times as long (2048 items), these functions all take much more than 8 times as long; close to 16 times as long, in fact. I didn't dare try a list of 64 times as long. There's a general technique to avoid quadratic behavior in algorithms like this. I coded it as follows for strings of exactly 256 items: def f5(list): ...

  • 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 ...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...additional classes are derived, StandardError, which is the root class for all standard exceptions, and SystemExit. It is recommended that user-defined exceptions in new code be derived from Exception, although for backward compatibility reasons, this is not required. Eventually this rule will be tightened. SystemExit is derived from Exception because while it is an exception, it is not an error. Most standard exceptions are direct descendants of StandardError. Some related excepti...
