    ...files, which are read in automatically both at start and whenever they are modified. Their purpose is to transform event input fields to output fields or apply rules to transform the event (e.g. drop the event, enrich the event, and so forth). These configuration files have table-like structure and simple syntax, so they are easily readable and comprehensible. Each platform has a different number and format of these files. The files are maintained by the customer. Conclusion A powerful yet cle...

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...files in the distribution (as listed in a MANIFEST file) into an archive file of some sort -- perhaps .tar.gz under Unix, .zip under Windows, etc. The name of the archive file would be derived from the name and version of the module distribution: mydist-1.2.3.tar.gz, for instance. If he wishes, the developer can stop there and upload his source release to an archive. Or, he can create built distributions for all the architectures to which he has access. (No...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...filesystem, finds which submodules are present in the package, and imports them all. Unfortunately, this operation does not work very well on Mac and Windows platforms, where the filesystem does not always have accurate information about the case of a filename! On these platforms, there is no guaranteed way to know whether a file ECHO.PY should be imported as a module echo, Echo or ECHO. (For example, Windows 95 has the annoying practice of showing all file names with a capitalized fir...

  • SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems

    SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems This special interest group (SIG) exists in order to discuss the emerging field of computing in the context of ultra large-scale systems and how such systems relate to or can be built with Python. The term "Ultra Large-Scale Systems" comes out of the research that was done in 2005-2006 by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's ULS Systems team. It entails the "creation" of systems of the next 10-20 years (and possibly beyond),...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Linux RPMs

    ...file that builds the RPMs. To do this, download the .src.rpm release and install it as you normally would an RPM package. This will install the source and the build control file ("SPEC" file). The .spec file is probably installed in "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS". Edit the .spec file and change the "config_binsuffix" line to "none". Build new RPMs with "rpmbuild -ba python.spec" (where "python.spec" is the name of the .spec file you edited)....

  • Python 2.0

    ...files a lot more readable. Most of the portability hacks were moved to a new header file, pyport.h; several other new header files were added and some old header files were removed, in an attempt to create a more rational set of header files. (Few of these ever need to be included explicitly; they are all included by Python.h.) Trent Mick ensured portability to 64-bit platforms, under both Linux and Win64, especially for the new Intel Itanium processor. Mick also added large file s...
