  • Python Success Stories

    ...module had tables describing the serialization and deserialization of XML streams. The storage modules had other tables describing the mapping from disk to memory structures. The validation module had its own tables containing rules about which properties had to be present on which items. The in-memory objects had getters and setters for each property. It worked, after a fashion, but was becoming unmanageable. Adding a new property to the schema required editing ten tables in different format...

  • Notes

    ...modules is now greatly automated. Rather than having to edit the Modules/Setup file to indicate which modules should be built and where their include files and libraries are, a distutils-based setup.py script now takes care of building most extension modules. All extension modules built this way are built as shared libraries. Only a few modules that must be linked statically are still listed in the Setup file; you won't need to edit their configuration. Python should now build out of the box ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...modules, the data collection interface, and so forth. The activities of each of these components were coordinated by a sequencing engine in each workstation. At that time, the components and the sequencing engine written were in C and high-level activities were sequenced in a simple proprietary scripting language. This approach was used to develop Tool Application Programs (TAPs) for about 6 years. It was well understood by the developers, but had the following disadvantages: Since the majority...

  • Notes

    ...ModuleEx(): if an error occurs while loading the module, these now delete the module's entry from sys.modules. All ways of loading modules eventually call one of these, so this is an error-case change in semantics for all ways of loading modules. In rare cases, a module loader may wish to keep a module object in sys.modules despite that the module's code cannot be executed. In such cases, the module loader must arrange to reinsert the name and module object in sys.modules. PyImport_ReloadMod...

  • 2009-12-14 PSF Board Meeting Minutes

    ...Module The Board reached a general consensus after some discussion on R. David Murray's funding proposal to create a 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 he...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...declaration creates a class attribute for each variable containing a descriptor, and setting a class attribute to a default value would overwrite this descriptor. There's no check that prevents you to override an instance variable already defined by a base class using a __slots__ declaration. If you do that, the instance variable defined by the base class is inaccessible (except by retrieving its descriptor directly from the base class; this could be used to rename it). Doing this r...

    ...module shows the contents of the module's __dict__. (This is unchanged.) dir() without arguments shows the caller's local variables. (Again, unchanged.) There's a new C API that implements the dir() function: PyObject_Dir(). There are more details; in particular, for objects that override __dict__ or __class__, these are honored, and for backwards compatibility, __members__ and __methods__ are honored if they are defined. You can use a method of a built-in type as an "unbou...
