    ...stack trace to the point where the error occurred. There is no need to compile code or set up complex links between libraries. Since everything is interpreted at runtime, we were able to continue rapid development without being bogged down by complex syntactic problems or slowed by compile times. The ability to quickly tailor a demonstration for a particular audience was also an advantage of Python. When presenting our project to a group of orientation and mobility instructors and their visually...

Stack frames under VC 7.1 for 2.4 are enough bigger than under VC 6.0 for 2.3.4 that deeply recursive progams within the default sys.getrecursionlimit() default value of 1000 were able to suffer undetected C stack overflows.

Kuchling noted that some Jython contributors think they have signed contributor agreements, but they aren't listed. These may be part of the PSF records being held by Jeremy Hylton. 5   PyCon Status A. Kuchling reported that 508 people were registered so far, and online registra...

    ...stack traceback with each exception report. We found this very useful in helping us understand the source of a problem without needing to run a debugger or add extra code instrumentation. This feature of Python was particularly helpful in remote debugging of rare cases. Andrew is in the United States and Pierre is in France. When an error occurred, Pierre's email with the traceback often contained enough information to pinpoint and fix the problem. Adding Powerful Extensibility with Python The...

If we have informal agreement from the major contributors ..., you could post to the Jython list announcing that the PSF board is going to change the license, and then do that at the next board meeting." A. Kuchling will write up a summary of the license discussion, post it to jython-dev, and the current developers can decide what to do. 6   PyCon Budget A. Kuchling presented a budget developed by the ...

  • Python 2.0

    ...Stack function has been implemented on Windows by Fredrik Lundh. It prevents Python from failing with a stack overflow on Windows. The GC changes resulted in creation of two new slots on object, tp_traverse and tp_clear. The augmented assignment changes result in the creation of a new slot for each in-place operator. The GC API creates new requirements for container types implemented in C extension modules. See Include/objimpl.h for details. PyErr_Format has been updated to auto...

    ...stack depth in some cases. This was affecting Zope Python Scripts rather badly. Largefile support was added (but not on by default, you'll need to follow the instructions in the documentation of the posix module). SF bug #443120: Fix a cgi.py denial-of-service attack, socketmodule's SSL_read and SSL_write now release the global interpreter lock. threading uses the PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM attribute where available. This should remove the need to add tiny sleeps at the start of threads to allow other...
