• Towards a Standard Parser Generator

  ...function is invoked to return the next token. Token numbers identify tokens. In addition, the yylval variable carries the semantic value. Older versions of BisonGen generate flex files from token definitions given XML; the recent versions generate re-style regular expressions from similar XML specifications. Error handling also follows the YACC tradition: an yyerror function is invoked. Since unwinding out of a bison parser run is not easy, this function normally only sets a global...

• Computer Programming for Everybody

  ...functional programming languages and possibly even logic programming languages to the extent in which they are usable as a general programming tool. Turing-completeness is the key concept here. The "declarative" category then contains everything else, from command line argument syntax to email headers and HTML. The distinguishing factor here is the presence of a relatively "narrow" application domain. In this category we would also place things like Microsoft's "wizards" (which are ...

• What's New In Python 3.0

  ...function (PyMemoryView_GET_BUFFER() can be used instead). ctypes function pointers that are COM methods have a boolean True value again. Issue #1819: function calls with several named parameters are now on average 35% faster (as measured by pybench). The undocumented C APIs PyUnicode_AsString() and PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize() were made private to the interpreter, in order to be able to refine their interfaces for Python 3.1. If you need to access the UTF-8 representation of a Unicode object a...

• Python Success Stories

  ...functionality that relied heavily on low-level APIs were rewritten in C++. The user interface was also rewritten in C++, in order to make use of the Visual Age User Interface Class Library. All of these components were addressable through a CORBA-like distributed object infrastructure. The business logic that drives these components was written in Python, ninety percent of which is common to all of the tools. Systems Architecture for Philips Semiconductor Manufacturing Line Zoom in Results ...

• Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, October 11, 2005 (Draft)

  ...function is a critical part of the PSF but the committee is clearly dysfunctional; dissolving it may be a good idea. There was no real interest from a mailing to psf-volunteers. The only offers for help came from S. Holden and N. Norwitz. If the PSC is dead, adding S. Holden as a member would make no sense. M. von Löwis noted that the PSC "owns" a lot of infrastructure, like the PayPal account. If the PSC is dissolved, how would this be maintained? Would the Treasurer deal with all...

  ...functionality. Naturally, we turned to the Open Source community for help running all of our development on inexpensive Dell laptops with RedHat Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP and Python software. Challenged to produce a system quickly and at a low cost we turned to Python to develop and test features and functionality for our website. Our programming team was already familiar with it and explained that Python had a reputation for being powerful while getting the job done quickly. They suggested we...

  ...functionality for sponsors. Whatever hours not used will be pushed to PyCon 2015. Childcare: Working on getting info from Westin regarding space/F&B for childcare. So far this is the best option. PyCon Dinner: Working on getting all details from restaurants that can accommodate large groups and AV needs. Convention Center Management: Working on adding space for Software Carpentry and making sure we have adequate space for PyCon tracks. New Activities Legal Issues: working on obtaining ...

  ...functional email module for Python 3. S. Holden: "This is a worthy goal, but can we afford $14,000? Should we start a fundraising campaign for this?" J. Rush: "It definitely is worthy. Many using Mailman should be in support and David would do good work. At least the cost is spread over seven months." D. Mertz: "What about a matching funds approach here also?" S. Holden: "So should we suggest that we solicit contributions for this effort? We could run it ...
