  • Python Success Stories

    ...programs that controlled the production pipeline. Python Streamlines Production But Python was not designed just as a replacement for shell scripting and, as it turns out, Python enabled much more for ILM than just process control. Unlike Unix shell scripting, Python can be embedded whole as a scripting language within a larger software system. In this case, Python code can invoke specific functions of that system, even if those functions are written in C or C++. And C and C++ code can easily...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...programmer. A bit of terminology: "classic Python" refers to Python 2.1 (and its patch releases such as 2.1.1) or earlier versions, while "classic classes" refer to classes defined with a class statement that does not have a built-in object amongst its bases: either because it has no bases, or because all of its bases are classic classes themselves - applying the definition recursively. Classic classes are still a special category in Python 2.2. Eventually they will be totally unifie...

On second look, after actual experience with the language, the language's indentation-defined structure became a virtue, an important part of the overall power and simplicity of the language. In addition to Python's clean design, the following factors make Python a good choice for enterprise integration tasks, like those undertaken at Gusto.com: OS Independence - The ability...
