Python is readily extensible in C or C++, so it is easy to incorporate non-Python modules into an application.

The integration capabilities of those languages are not as strong, and their threading support is harder to use. Python is impressive as an object-oriented rapid application development language. One of Python's key strengths lies in its ability to produce results quickly without sacrificing maintainability of the resulting code. In ForecastWatch.com, Pytho...

    Version: None

    Released: Sept. 18, 2025

    It's 🪄 finally 🪄 the final 3.14 release candidate! Note: It's another magic release. We fixed another bug that required bumping the magic number stored in Python bytecode (.pyc) files. This means file .pyc files created for rc2 cannot be used for rc3, and they'll be recompiled. …

  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...In most situations, the interpreter can be installed at an arbitrary location without having to recompile. The build process now builds a single library (libpython1.5.a) which contains everything except for the main() entry point. This makes life much easier for applications that embed Python. There is much better support for embedding, including threads, multiple interpreters(!), uninitialization, and access to the global interpreter lock. There is a -O option that removes SET_LINENO instructi...

There are solid technical reasons behind this design choice, but it does require some additional work when packaging applications for distribution to users running different versions of Python. In the Wing IDE debugger, we solve the problem simply be storing separate directories for each interpreter version and importing modules accordingly at runtime. For the IDE itself, we solve it by shipping with a specific Python interpreter includ...
