Most of Mac/Lib has moved to Lib/plat-mac, which is again used both in MacPython-OSX and MacPython-OS9. The only modules remaining in Mac/Lib are specifically for MacPython-OS9 (CFM support, preference resources, etc). A new utility PythonLauncher will start a Python interpreter when a .py ...

  • t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python

    ...Python extensions.) Most aspects of the underlying t1lib have been exposed to the Python layer. The exceptions are the functions which support the rasterization of Type1 fonts directly into X11 bitmaps and pixmaps; these are not needed from Python. An object-oriented layer written in Python makes using the primitives a bit easier, and an additional module supports the conversion of t1lib glyphs to Python Imaging Library (PIL) Image...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was discovered quite early when a member of the development team read about Python in a computer magazine. After some initial experimentation there were really no other contenders. Python had it all. It was a beautiful programming language that was extensible, embeddable, platform independent, and had no license cost. When it came to incorporate Python into the Tribon software, we found the integration to be quite easy and problem-free, and it was achieved with very little effort. The res...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python Python, a language that was previously used to build the Ultraseek Server and several back-end tasks at Infoseek, was used in creating the Ultraseek spider, as well as the GUI that provides the end-user search box, results pages, and all administrative functions. Python was chosen for several reasons: Python (like Java) is a modern language with objects, modules, threads, exceptions, and automatic memory management. At the time, both C and C++ were rejected as missing at least some of th...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was regarded fondly by our founders, but could not directly fulfil the requirement for .NET interoperability. Python for .NET was considered, allowing Python developers to call .NET assemblies, but in the end this lost out to IronPython, a reimplementation of Python as a .NET language, which runs directly on the Common Language Runtime (CLR). At the time, IronPython felt like a somewhat risky proposition. At v0.7 it was still relatively young, and had an extremely low profile. The acquisi...

    ...functions are about as simple as they get. Yet, they are nearly optimal (for code written in Python). In another Python Patterns column, I will try to analyze their running speed and improve their performance, at the cost of more code. UPDATE: Eryk Kopczyński pointed out that these functions are not optimal. To the contrary, "this program runs in exponential time, while find_shortest_path can be done in linear time using BFS [Breadth First Search]. Furthermore a linear BFS is simpler...
