    ...complex. Some consequences are that the vast bulk of funding must come from private contributions (including sponsoring memberships) and public grants, must come from a broad base, and that no single private donor can supply a substantial percentage of the PSF's total funding. Additional revenue may be pursued in ways consistent with then-current rules for public charities and with Python's standing as an open source project. For example, the PSF may offer to sell conference proceedings, speci...

    ...complex and compute-intensive production process. It was around this time that Python version 1.4 came out, and Python was coming into its own as a powerful yet simple language that could be used to replace Unix shell scripting. Python was evaluated, compared to other technologies available at the time (such as Tcl and Perl), and chosen as an easier to learn and use language with which to incrementally replace older scripts. At ILM, speed of development is key, and Python was a faster way to cod...

    ...complex of these files (about 20%) would take half a day. The bulk of the files (60%) would take an entire day on average. The most complex of these files (about 20%) would take at least 2 days. This stood to waste significant engineering labor that was better spent in improving the quality of my department's software products. Each project release: 1/5 * 75 * 4 hours = 60 hours 3/5 * 75 * 8 hours = 360 hours ...

Both programs are available at Metalab. Writing these programs left me progressively less satisfied with Perl. Larger project size...

Twisted's asynchronous model allows us to have all of the Jabber bots running in the same process as the HTTP server, but we could just as easily migrate the bots to other processes, hardware, or data centers, for that matter. I cannot imagine building a system of this type ...

  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...complex algorithm only pays off for large N - for small N, the complexity doesn't pay off. In our case, 256 turned out to be small enough that the simpler version was still a tad faster. Your mileage may vary - this is worth investigating. And last but not least: collect data. Python's excellent profile module can quickly show the bottleneck in your code. if you're considering different versions of an algorithm, test it in a tight loop using the time.clock() function. By th...
