  • 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...

  • Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup

    ...Python 1.5.1. Contents: Algorithms Motivation Problems and Questions Revised version Based on some comments I received and some more thinking, I've changed this a bit since my web posting on this subject. Significant Changes are indicated in the text by [italicized remarks in square brackets]. Algorithms When a Python interpreter is deleted, its variables and modules are "cleared carefully" in a partially specified order. The operation "clear carefully" is define...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was chosen for this project for a number of carefully considered reasons: Portability: We knew that we needed an extremely portable language - and Python runs everywhere. Access to Source: We knew that we wanted the source code for whatever language we chose. Forming a startup is risky enough without having to worry about being completely dependent upon somebody else to fix bugs in your tool set. Python is open source with an unrestrictive license. Ability to Integrate: We had no...

    ...Python. This shows that Python is not just a toy. It is a powerful weapon for solving real problems. There was one concern raised in the beginning of the project: Would Python be fast enough to deal with the real-time demand of the production process? In the CD/DVD partitioner, Python and Linux work perfectly as long as the fastest required response time is greater than 1 millisecond. For faster applications, a real time OS may be required to provide sufficiently fast and precise response tim...

    ...Python code broken with this. No array attributes (namely shape, flat, real and imag) for Python versions previous to 2.2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level. Two of them should not be problems for most users using Python 2.2 or later. It does have a number of importa...

See below for arguments to setup.py and what happens when it's run. Also, nobody disagreed with my contention that the system should work on "extensions" (ie. modules written in C) or plain ol' "modules" (written in P...

  • 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...
