  • Python 1.6.1

    Python 1.6.1 Python 1.6.1 Note: See the download pages for more recent releases. What's new? Python 1.6 was the last of the versions developed at CNRI and the only version issued by CNRI with an open source license. Following the release of Python 1.6, and after Guido van Rossum left CNRI to work with commercial software developers, it became clear that the ability to use Python with software available under the GNU General Public License (GPL) was very desirable.

    Python Success Stories Introduction This article shows how I integrated Python, COM, DocBook, OpenJade, and Word together to create a documentation tool for BEACON, a visual programming environment. This documentation tool was used for code reviews in the software development methodology at my company, and led to significant (>$1M) in cost savings.

    Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5 Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5 Starting with Python version 1.5a4, package support is built into the Python interpreter. This implements a slightly simplified and modified version of the package import semantics pioneered by the "ni" module. "Package import" is a method to structure Python's module namespace by using "dotted module names". For example, the module name A.B designates a submodule named B in a package named A. Just like...
