Its purpose is an important optimization: because the import statement cannot tell whether a local or global module is wanted, and because the rules state that a local module (in the same package) hides a global module with the same name, the import statement must search the package's search path before looking for...

While much of ILM's early work was done with miniature models and motion controlled cameras, ILM has long been on the bleeding edge of computer generated visual effects. Its computer graphics division dates back to 1979, and its first CG production was the 1982 Genesis sequence from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the early days, ILM was involved with the creation of custom computer graphics hardware and software for scanning, ...

Since documentation is actually a part of the language itself, and pydoc is a standard module in the Python distribution, it was easy to extract API documentation to HTML and other formats. Over time, we have found that the syntactic structure of Python makes for extremely readable code, and that in itself helps in the overall task of documenting and maintaining code. Conclusion Python has dramatically improved development processes for the CORE ...

The SWIG bindings should automatically convert between those two C variables and a single Python string argument.
