  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...about it -- in fact, it is rather elegant and deep, even though there's something dark to it.) (On first reading, you may want to skip directly to the examples in the section "Writing Metaclasses in Python" below, unless you want your head to explode.) Documentation of the Don Beaudry hook has purposefully been kept minimal, since it is a feature of incredible power, and is easily abused. Basically, it checks whether the type of the base class is callable, and if so, it is c...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    What's new in Python 2.3 What's new in Python 2.3 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.3. Faster According to a couple of simple benchmark, Python 2.3 is about 20-30% faster than Python 2.2.3. Some of this speed-up was obtained by removing the SET_LINENO opcodes, which means that the difference is less impressive when comparing "python -O"; the rest was various careful tune-ups. New Tools A brand new version of IDLE (from the IDLEfork project at S...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...about the space occupied by an empty dictionary for each instance you create.) If you don't need this extra space, you can add the phrase "__slots__ = []" to your class. (See above for more about __slots__.) Factoid: __new__ is a static method, not a class method. I initially thought it would have to be a class method, and that's why I added the classmethod primitive. Unfortunately, with class methods, upcalls don't work right in this case, so I had to make it a static method with a...
