    Community Stories Packaging People who need to install Python packages get confused a lot. That's not their fault; that's because the volunteers who maintain the packaging tools don't have enough time to get everything organized so that it's clear and easy to use. In the last few years, the PSF has gotten grants and used that money to massively improve packaging. We overhauled PyPI and we're making pip more consistent, with genuine attention to user experience. With more funding, we can finall...

Infoseek released the original version of Ultraseek Server on March 31, 1997. It was built by wrapping Infoseek's...

    Python Success Stories Background MayaVi is an open source scientific data visualization tool written entirely in Python. I started work on MayaVi in 2000. At that time, a few colleagues of mine needed to visualize their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data but the only suitable tools available were commercial, closed source programs that were prohibitively expensive. We looked at some open source tools as alternatives. OpenDX had just been released to the public and at that time was har...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particula...

We've seen these fail too often, misleading the project into solving problems relating to the selected technology, rather than meeting the original project plan. Pyt...
