  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...next one. The Windows configuration adds a new main program, "pythonw", and registers a new extension, ".pyw" that invokes this. This is a standard Python interpreter that does not pop up a console window; handy for pure Tkinter applications. All output to the original stdout and stderr is lost; reading from the original stdin yields EOF. From 1.5b2 to 1.5 (final) Thanks to all who contributed doc strings or other documentation! Many small improvements to the quality of...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...next task in developing CORE was to find a useful templating module to integrate our Python code with HTML pages running on the Apache web server. After looking at a number of available Python-based templating modules, we opted to create a simple parser of our own. Our approach was to convert server-side template pages into Python servlets whose output is sent by the HTTP server to the user's browser. Although this was a fairly simple exercise, we did run into some problems stemming from our des...

  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...next day, I remembered an odd corner of Python: the array module. This happens to have an operation to create an array of 1-byte wide integers from a list of Python integers, and every array can be written to a file or converted to a string as a binary data structure. Here's our function implemented using these operations: import array def f7(list): return array.array('B', list).tostring() This is about three times as fast as f6(), or 12 to 15 times as fast ...
