  • SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing

    ...Python Resource Cataloguing SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing This SIG was created to discuss and build a catalog of Python resources. The SIG charter was: The Python Catalog SIG aims at producing a master index of Python software and other resources. It will begin by figuring out what the requirements are, converging on a design for the data schema, and producing an implementation. ("Implementation" will almost certainly include mean a set of CGI scripts for browsing the catal...

  • Highlights: Python 2.5

    ...Python 2.5 Highlights: Python 2.5 Here are some of the (subjective) highlights of Python 2.5. More detail on almost all of the new features can be found in the document What's New In Python 2.5 More Reliable Python now uses the Buildbot tool for continuous testing on a wide range of platforms. This allows us to spot problems faster during development, and resulted in a much more robust release. Andrew Kuchling determined that there were over 350 patches and over 450 bugs fixed since Python...

    ...Python using the Products framework available in Zope. A Zope product is a package of code, graphics and templates that provides a piece of reusable web functionality. We were able to combine the integrated pieces of Zope that we loved and used on a daily basis, like user management and simple object publishing to the web, with the flexibility of Python and its large internal library. This also allowed us to keep source code outside of the Zope object database and on the file system, where it co...

  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 22-Oct-2002

    ...Python and Zope users, offering increased stability and robustness. I am grateful to the Python and Zope community for contributing literally hundreds of bug fixes to Python 2.2.2," said Guido van Rossum, creator of Python, president of the Python Software Foundation, and Director of PythonLabs at Zope Corporation. "Python has been an integral part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. Dozens of Google engineers use Python, and we're looking f...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python made it practical for a two-person team to take it on. The lack of an explicit compilation step, coupled with the ability to dynamically reload modules allow us to turn very fast cycles during development. The current codebase is about 30K lines of code, written over the last year or so. I do a lot of the prototypes, mockups, etc., but Christian has implemented most of the current codebase himself. The productivity that Python provides over the "mainstream" languages is profound...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python appeared to offer the prospect of having both clarity and productivity at the same time. And if we ever needed to make use of Java's class libraries there was always Jython, an implementation of Python for the JVM. The increasing number of Python books being published testified to the language's growing popularity, and the number of available libraries was beginning to rival Perl's. This convinced me to give Python a try. Python Finds a Home Soon thereafter, I introduced Python to my fe...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...Python 2.3 What's new in Python 2.3 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.3. Faster According to a couple of simple benchmark, Python 2.3 is about 20-30% faster than Python 2.2.3. Some of this speed-up was obtained by removing the SET_LINENO opcodes, which means that the difference is less impressive when comparing "python -O"; the rest was various careful tune-ups. New Tools A brand new version of IDLE (from the IDLEfork project at SourceForge) is now ...

    ...Python 2.3.1 <h3>Bugs in Python 2.3.1</h3> <ul> <li>IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine). Some firewalls running on Windows machines interfere with this and can cause either silent failures or erroneous popup windows from the firewall. This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE.</li> <li>The test fo...

The exceptions are the functions which support the rasterization of Type1 fonts directly into X11 bitmaps and pixmaps; these are not needed from Python. An object-oriented layer written in Python makes using the primitives a bit easier, and an additional module supports the conversion of t1lib glyphs to Python Imaging Library (PIL) ...
