• SIG for development of Python/C++ integration

  ...String Support Modules, Types, and Functions in Python can be documented with "docstrings", which allow the automatic extraction of documentation (and even testing code) at runtime. Goal: Full support for docstrings on the elements of C++ extension modules and classes. C++ long long support The long long type is a popular extension to C++ which allows the representation of integer numeric values of at least 64 bits. Goal: Automatic conversions of C++ long lo...

  ...strings encoded in the preferred encoding, as informed by locale module's getpreferredencoding(). optparse module (and tests) upgraded to Optik 1.5a1. Changes: Add expansion of default values in help text: the string "%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of that option's default value, or "none" if no default value. Bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this allow...

Notably, Windows supports 'mbcs' as the default. The Macintosh will also adopt this concept in the medium term, although the default encoding fo...

  ...strings using a web browser. New library module difflib.py, primarily packaging the SequenceMatcher class at the heart of the popular ndiff.py file-comparison tool. doctest.py (a framework for verifying Python code examples in docstrings) is now part of the std library. Windows changes A new entry in the Start menu, "Module Docs", runs "pydoc -g" -- a small GUI that lets you browse the module docstrings using your default web browser. Import is now case-sensitive. PEP 235...

• Computer Programming for Everybody

  ...strings are passed as function parameters in C programs they are typically represented by two variables, a pointer and a length. The SWIG bindings should automatically convert between those two C variables and a single Python string argument. If users are empowered to modify and customize code, they will be challenged to maintain those changes when the underlying software is upgraded or when system components are replaced. Version control is already a vexing problem for software developer...
