  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 27-Dec-2004

    ...language that is developed and maintained by a global community of open source developers under the oversight of the Python Software Foundation. Python is very easy to learn for programmers familiar with other languages such as C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic, and can significantly increase programmer productivity. It is often characterized as an agile language that promotes speedy development and includes a unit-testing framework for building more robust applications. Python is often...

    ...language would make. Some of us already had extensive experience programming in other interpreted dynamically typed languages. We believed, at the time, that Python's reputation as a good language for rapid development rested solely on the fact that it is intepreted and dynamically typed. But by programming in Python we became more productive than with those other languages. We now believe part of the elegance of Python can be attributed to the fact that it lies in the "sweet spot" bet...

    ...languages such as C, C++, Java, and Visual Basic. The language's global user base is estimated in the hundreds of thousands and is growing rapidly. Key features of Python include: Object orientation, modular name spaces, exceptions, and multi-threading High-level dynamic data typing and very late binding Tight integration with C, C++, and Java modules May be compiled to Java byte code for use in any JVM String and regular expression processing Extensive XML and web services suppor...

And finally, Python has been used to implement a web browser (Grail). Python is also well represented in the distributed systems world. It is one of the main languages supported by Xerox PARC's ILU (Inter-Language Unification; a CORBA compatible distributed object system), and many distributed applications have been built in Python using ILU.

    ...languages and systems languages like C or C++. Why Teach a "General" Programming Language? It is well understood that there is something of a dichotomy between "general" programming languages on the one hand and "domain-specific" languages on the other. For this discussion, we use the term "general" in a broad and loose sense, to include functional programming languages and possibly even logic programming languages, to the extent to which they are usable as a general programming tool. T...

    ...language which provides programmatic access to spreadsheet content. Resolver One launched in Spring of 2008, by which time the team had grown to fourteen people, and the codebase to 40k lines of product and 140k lines of tests. Why IronPython? From the outset, it was clear that it would be good to use an existing language as our embedded scripting language, rather than inventing one. A dynamic language would confer appropriate type semantics on the spreadsheet formulae. It would be advantageou...

We do not want these trademarks to be used: to refer to any other programming language in a way that is misleading or may imply association of unrelated modules, tools, documentation, or other resources with the Python programming language in ways that confuse the community as to whether the Python programming language is open source and free to use Uses that Never Require Approval All trademarks are subject to "nominative use rules" that allow use of the trademark to nam...

    ...language to pick up. Once you learn Python, it's hard to go back to using other languages like C/C++. There were several reasons we decided to user Python as the platform of choice for WordStream. First, Python code is extremely and universally readable. Developers from any language background can read and understand code without having to resort to much documentation. Second, Python is a very mature platform, with a wealth of third party libraries and tools. The Python suite of debugging tools ...

  • What is Python? Executive Summary

    ...language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Pytho...

    ...language I've ever seen that is also flexible enough to be generally useful." Architecture From the beginning, Timesheet was designed and implemented as a web application. It uses a three-tiered web application architecture with separate layers for web presentation, business logic, and data storage. As time has progressed, the application's functionality has advanced considerably, and Curt's decision to use Python for an implementation language has proven to be good choice. Python is curr...

    ...languages The choice of Python plus C was made after an evaluation of various languages. I was rapidly convinced that only a mixture of a high-level interpreted language and a CPU-efficient compiled language could meet my seemingly conflicting requirements of rapid development and efficient execution. For the high-level part, Tcl was ruled out because it could not handle the complex data structures required by the project. Perl was ruled out because of its unpleasant syntax (this was of course a...

  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (1st ed.)

    ...language that I had helped create in the early eighties. It was an incredibly elegant and powerful language, aimed at non-professional programmers. Despite all its elegance and power and the availability of a free implementation, ABC never became popular in the Unix/C world. I can only speculate about the reasons, but here's a likely one: the difficulty of adding new "primitive" operations to ABC. It was a monolithic, "closed system", with only the most basic I/O operations: read a st...
