  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories First published in Linux Journal, May 2000. Copyright 2000 Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction My first look at Python was an accident, and I didn't much like what I saw at the time. It was early 1997, and Mark Lutz's book Programming Python from O'Reilly & Associates had recently come out. O'Reilly books occasionally land on my doorstep, selected from among the new releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization u...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python in an earlier class and was impressed with the power and ease of use it provided. The fact that the other four members had no experience with the language fortunately did not stop us from making the wise decision to use Python. Very early in the development we required a simple program to test how the touch pad interacts with the operating system. This proved incredibly easy with wxPython, a Python wrapper for the powerful wxWindows GUI toolkit. Setting up a frame to take full control of ...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particularly nasty backward compatibil...

  • Notes

    ...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. There were no other changes to the license. So, for example, wherever the license for Python 2.3 said "Python 2.3", the new license says "Python". 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...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was regarded fondly by our founders, but could not directly fulfil the requirement for .NET interoperability. Python for .NET was considered, allowing Python developers to call .NET assemblies, but in the end this lost out to IronPython, a reimplementation of Python as a .NET language, which runs directly on the Common Language Runtime (CLR). At the time, IronPython felt like a somewhat risky proposition. At v0.7 it was still relatively young, and had an extremely low profile. The acquisi...

The Q1 2024 Community Service Award was given to Gregory Szorc as the author of python-build-standalone and PyOxidizer, among many other projects. python-build-standalone has quietly become a crucial component of the wider Python ecosystem. It provides builds of Python that can be installed in a way that avoids any risk of conflict with other existing installations so that Python can be painlessly distributed to users who are not themselves Python developers.
