  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...binary distributions, the final installed product, etc. (As I understand things, the source and binary distributions are what Trove will call resources.) One thing we didn't have time to decide on was a name for the silly thing. For a long and formal name, my vote is Module Distribution Utilities, or distutils for short. The short name will be needed to group all the various modules into a package: for instance, we plan to have distutils.build, distutils.insta...

  • Other Documentation Tools

    Other Documentation Tools Other Documentation Tools When considering the state of documentation tools for Python, one should consider what is being done for other systems. This should include tools that work with documentation embedded in source code and tools that work with separated documentation. If you can think of additional tools that should be noted, please let me know about them (free or commercial). If you can point to an example of the markup, that would be great; thank...

This needs more research. Perhaps a metaclass could be provided that allows stackable wrappers... Things You Could Do With Metaclasses There are lots of things you could do with metaclasses. Most of these can also be done with creative use of...

    ...binding that hides the binding in B. Section 4.1 of the reference manual describes the new scoping rules in detail. The test script in Lib/test/test_scope.py demonstrates some of the effects of the change. The new rules will cause existing code to break if it defines nested functions where an outer function has local variables with the same name as globals or builtins used by the inner function. Example: def munge(str): def helper(x): return str(x) if type(str) != type(''): ...
