  ...functions and methods as well as functions and methods defined in Python. This attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the behavior of whichmodule slightly. In Python 2.2 whichmodule() returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions). Now whichmodule() will return the proper module name. Extension modules operator.isNumberType() now checks that the object has a nb_int or nb_float slot, rather...

• Metaclasses in Python 1.5

  ...built-in types). At this point it may be worth mentioning that C.__class__ is the same object as B.__class__, i.e., C's metaclass is the same as B's metaclass. In other words, subclassing an existing class creates a new (meta)inststance of the base class's metaclass. Going back to the example, the class B.__class__ is instantiated, passing its constructor the same three arguments that are passed to the default class constructor or to an extension's metaclass: name, bases, and namesp...

• Python Success Stories

  Python Success Stories Introduction ProjectPipe is a hosted project management solution developed by Botonomy LLC. It provides everything that you need to manage the full lifecycle of a midsized project. Although it is a hosted browser-based application, ProjectPipe seamlessly integrates with MS Project, Excel, and Word, allowing users to leverage the benefits of ProjectPipe without abandoning the desktop tools that they (and their peers) use and understand. We believe that dependency managem...

• Glue It All Together With Python

  ...functions directly; the glue extensions handle conversion between Python data types and C/C++ data types and error checking, translation error return values into Python exception. Creation of glue extensions is simplified by the existence of SWIG, which reads header files containing function and method prototypes and automatically generates the necessary type conversion and error checking code. In situations where the underlying code (usually C code) doesn't use an object-oriented mode...

• Python Patterns - Implementing Graphs

  ...functions are about as simple as they get. Yet, they are nearly optimal (for code written in Python). In another Python Patterns column, I will try to analyze their running speed and improve their performance, at the cost of more code. UPDATE: Eryk Kopczyński pointed out that these functions are not optimal. To the contrary, "this program runs in exponential time, while find_shortest_path can be done in linear time using BFS [Breadth First Search]. Furthermore a linear BFS is simpler...
