  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...Python Enhancement Proposals). PEPs are not designed to be tutorials, and the PEPs describing the type/class unification are sometimes hard to read. They also aren't finished yet. That's where this paper comes in: it introduces the key elements of the type/class unification for the average Python programmer. A bit of terminology: "classic Python" refers to Python 2.1 (and its patch releases such as 2.1.1) or earlier versions, while "classic classes" refer to classes defined with a c...

  • Python Humor

    ...tood how the old code worked anyway. So I chose Python because of its cool name and the fact that font-lock actually worked for Python syntax, and I wrote a Python C extension that allowed me to embed Emacs in Python, and to seamlessly call Elisp programs from Python. This was actually cleaner than JPython is now (sorry Jim), except for one little problem. I was under the misguided idea that Python used brace delimiters and I was hoping to just substitute parentheses for braces. My having to...

    ...to our requests - I guess the direct approach is still the best to enter larger companies. Unfortunately, we did not manage to get content for some of the high profile leads we had - both legal departments and management took too long to come to a conclusion whether to submit a story or not. We will follow up with them for a possible second edition of the brochure. Overall, the content collection took about 4 months longer than expected. As a result, we are not going to be able to meet our set d...

Since there was no "new business" to be discussed or voted on in the October 2011 board meeting, S. Holden took the opportunity to extend a ...

    ...towards this goal, and we will encourage companies and organizations wishing to take steps in this direction. We expect that the existence of JPython will be an important enabling factor here. Python's programming environment and documentation are less than ideal for teaching to novices. In particular, the existing program development tools and tutorials for Python (there are several of each) all assume that the user is a dyed-in-the-wool developer, who knows a suite of external tools to ...
