  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...data descriptors, except for __class__. raw_input() - can now return Unicode objects (if sys.stdin is Unicode-capable). (New in 2.3a2.) slice() and buffer() - these are now types rather than functions. The constructors have the same signature as the functions in the past. PyThreadState_SetAsyncEnc() - A new API (deliberately accessible only from C) to interrupt a thread by sending it an exception.

    ...data (entropy) The mpz, rotor and xreadlines modules have been removed. The difflib module now includes an HtmlDiff class that creates an HTML table showing a side by side comparison of two versions of a text. The socket module gained the socketpair() function, on systems that support it. os.path.lexists(), which tests whether the path is a symlink. The doctest module has been massively refactored, with many new features added, and many new hooks for customizing behavior. Non-blocking SSL socket...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...database connection pooling, protocol handling, transaction control, and all the complicated interactions that are needed to make a server side implementation robust. Client-Side Bliss Another design goal for the system was to simplify client-side programming as much as possible, in order to make it easy to adopt the new technique. Just as service writers shouldn't need to think about low-level database connectivity, we felt that client application programmers shouldn't be bothered with the de...

    ...database be closed properly, else the on-disk data and directory files can be left in mutually inconsistent states. dumbdbm.py's _Database.__del__() method attempted to close the database properly, but a shutdown race in _Database._commit() could prevent this from working, so that a program trusting __del__() to get the on-disk files in synch could be badly surprised. The race has been repaired. A sync() method was also added so that shelve can guarantee data is written to disk. The close() me...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...data. There are many different sound file formats (usually recognized by their extension, e.g. .wav, .aiff, .au), so you may need to create and maintain a growing collection of modules for the conversion between the various file formats. There are also many different operations you might want to perform on sound data (e.g. mixing, adding echo, applying an equalizer function, creating an artificial stereo effect), so in addition you will be writing a never-ending stream of modules to per...
