    ...Python - one stop shopping development plus platform independence I used Python before and it seemed to have the potential to do all the required coding and was a programming language that I enjoyed using. I was not entirely confident about some parts of the task, especially building a graphical user interface, but decided to face my fears, trusting to Python's maturity, powerful libraries, and third-party support. The SPE editor together with Python's interpreted nature proved especially valua...

    ...Python and Jython, the Java implementation of Python, were chosen because they would allow both the PowerPC and Java implementations of the PanMachine to execute the same user interface layouts. Python, implemented in C, was used on the PowerPC, and Jython, implemented in Java, was used in the browser applet. Implementation in Python Re-implementation using Python went smoothly. The Python language interpreter and support libraries are written in C and can be compiled with most C compilers. I...

    ...Python and Zope, a web application server written in Python, were chosen for the work. devIS had been using Zope since 1999 and already had a large staff of developers that were skilled in the ways of Zope, including the owner and developer of ZopeLabs. At this time devIS was still developing its web applications using Zope's management interface, DTML (dynamic template markup language) tags, and short Python scripts to create dynamic sites.

    ...Python in an earlier class and was impressed with the power and ease of use it provided. The fact that the other four members had no experience with the language fortunately did not stop us from making the wise decision to use Python. Very early in the development we required a simple program to test how the touch pad interacts with the operating system. This proved incredibly easy with wxPython, a Python wrapper for the powerful wxWindows GUI toolkit. Setting up a frame to take full control of ...

    ...Python 2.4 beta 2? Release date: 03-NOV-2004 License The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python is released, to remove Python version numbers. There were no other changes to the license. So, for example, wherever the license for Python 2.3 said "Python 2.3", the new license says "Python". The intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more durable way. For example, some people say they're confused by that the Open Source Ini...

    ...Python Chosen H2X using Drone was a successful experiment and it was used by many people. In 2001 AstraZeneca decided to develop it further and brought in Andrew Dalke as a consultant, to improve the back-end code by making it more robust, extensible, and maintainable. Andrew, a well-known advocate for Python in computational chemistry and biology, convinced the group that Python was the appropriate language for the next generation back-end, which was named PyDrone. Python was chosen for this wo...

However, TriZPUG have adopted the PyCamp name for their training seminars, formerly called "Python Bootcamp" (this name seems to have been dropped though). S. Deibel will reply, suggesting the non-exclusive use of "Python Bootcamp" as long as it includes a qualifier (region or organization name). We don't have jurisdiction over Py* names though. It's probably unrealistic for a...
