At the same time, Python lends itself to the creation of highly readable, compact and well structured code. Python's particular mix of features also helps embedded developers be more effective when programming a PC. While these developers are well familiar with C (by far the most popular high level language for embedded...

  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 6-Mar-2001

    ...programming language, Python is open source, cross-platform and easy to use. An elegant, highly readable language, Python's strength is object-oriented scripting. It is used for cutting-edge applications by leading technology and research institutions such as: Carnegie Mellon University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and NASA, to name a few. Hundreds of thousands of programmers are using Python around the world today, and the number is growing ...

    ...object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.</p> <p>The Python development team has discovered a flaw in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly other modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch() method. Servers using only register_function() are n...

    ...Programming Tools We will design and build a programming environment specifically intended to support the teaching of programming to users with no previous programming experience. Our aim is provide tools to support users when they are learning programming and when they are employing those skills in their homes and offices. We believe that most ordinary users will employ their programming skills to customized and extend their computing environment. Rather than writing new programs from ...

    ...object-oriented basis for building my Node class, and pygame provided the primitives for displaying images, creating cursors, and collecting input. One of the biggest challenges was deciding among ways to organize the description of the world. On the one hand, I could have created a descriptive language for the structure of the world, and written an interpreter to read the description and build the in-memory structures on which the game would run. This would have been a fairly large effort, and ...

    ...Programming Python from O'Reilly & Associates had recently come out. O'Reilly books occasionally land on my doorstep, selected from among the new releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization using a random process I've given up trying to understand. One of them was Programming Python . I found this somewhat interesting, as I collect computer languages. I know over two dozen general-purpose languages, write compilers and interpreters for fun, and have designed any number of ...

See also my foreword to the 2nd edition. As Python's creator, I'd like to say a few words about its origins, adding a bit of personal philosophy. Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christma...

After some time, we found that Python's powerful simplicity enabled my colleague to improve his programming skills rapidly, to the point where he was able to continue development of the system by himself.

The textbooks that teach both subjects are mind-numblingly dreadful.

While easy to write, Perl code often appears very cryptic when read. A common Python module was developed, with a few common classes that are used on all the OVO agent platforms. Most of the platform-specific customization was accomplished in the class initialization. In some cases, some methods needed to be overridden as well. On most plat...

    ...programming language? It is well understood that there is a bit of a dichotomy between "procedural" programming languages on the one hand and "declarative" languages on the other. For this discussion, we use the term "procedural" in a broad and loose sense, to include 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" categor...
