...languages have already stepped forward, so we just need to set up the actual blogging software and DNS entries. Other translations are welcome, so if anyone wants to volunteer please have them contact me. I don't plan to include detailed information about Python Insider in the Communications team status report every month (I won't link to every post, as I do for the Foundation blog), but I will provide highlights of significant projects and work. As far as new activities for the month are con...
...languages as "call-next-method", and is more powerful than the super call found in single-inheritance languages like Java or Smalltalk. C++ has neither form of super call, relying instead on an explicit mechanism similar to that used in classic Python. (The term "cooperative method" comes from "Putting Metaclasses to Work".) As a refresher, let's first review the traditional, non-cooperative super call. When a class C derives from a base class B, C often wants to override a method m...
...language called ABC. Guido remains Python’s principal author, although it includes many contributions from others. In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/) in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the software. In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same year, the PythonLabs tea...
...Language Summit Report to Japanese, which was great to have such a large post translated for that community. I was contacted by a staffer from PHP Solutions magazine about contributing some coverage of Python to be published, but no one on the team (or the ones outside the team who I've contacted) has shown interest. He reported the following information on the planned activities for next month: 1. Via Steve Holden, we have some information to put together a story about Python's use in schools...
...language barriers were discussed. We will be making a EuroPython committee to be a constant for the conference in order to keep the knowledge bank and distribute it to next committees. Laura Creighton used to run this committee but she is stepping down this year. We are meeting about it at 6:30pm. I have joined the group as an advisor. Ewa also reported on other event activities for the month. Please see the following report: 6.8.1 PyCon AV Management Nothing to Report for ...
...language to PEP 772 that explicitly gives the Packaging Council the authority to enforce the PSF Code of Conduct, in addition to enforcement mechanisms otherwise approved by the Foundation. Approved; 11-0-0, 2025-08-13 RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation award the Q2 2025 Community Service Award to Katie McLaughlin for contributions to the Australian and International Python Communities through leading PyCon AU and leading efforts to recognise Open Source contributions of all forms. A...
...language. These are implemented using the Java-style @decorator syntax, like so: @staticmethod def foo(bar): (The PEP needs to be updated to reflect the current state) When importing a module M raises an exception, Python no longer leaves M in sys.modules. Before 2.4a2 it did, and a subsequent import of M would succeed, picking up a module object from sys.modules reflecting as much of the initialization of M as completed before the exception was raised. Subsequent imports got no indi...
...language. The C implementation of Python 2.3 attempts to detect mutations, and raise ValueError if one occurs, but there's no guarantee that all mutations will be caught, or that any will be caught across releases or implementations. Unicode file name processing for Windows (PEP 277) is implemented. All platforms now have an os.path.supports_unicode_filenames attribute, which is set to True on Windows NT/2000/XP, and False elsewhere. Codec error handling callbacks (PEP 293) are implemented. Er...
