Two other big changes, related to the Unicode support, are the addition of string methods and a new regular expression engine: String methods mean that you can now say s.lower() etc. instead of importing the string module and saying string.lower(s) etc. One peculiarity is that the equivalent of string.jo...

  ...building the GUI accordingly. This code is also used in MayaVi's persistence mechanism, which can save most VTK objects to disk by inspecting them at runtime. The use of introspection to write data-driven modules such as these avoided substantial amounts of manual coding, and makes MayaVi self-extending as additional VTK objects are defined. Since Python is a scripting language, it was the natural choice for an extension language for MayaVi. As a result, MayaVi isn't just written in Python bu...

• Glue It All Together With Python

  ...building a scientific application, C/C++ programmers can implement efficient numerical algorithms, while scientists on the same project can write Python programs that test and use those algorithms. The scientist doesn't have to learn a low-level programming language, and the C/C++ programmer doesn't need to understand the science involved. Without Python, large amounts of C/C++ code often have to be written just to provide a flexible enough input mechanism so that scientists can feed t...

  ...build optimized Java Server Pages that run considerably faster than their JSP tag library counterparts, without any changes to the JSP files. This performance gain is a result of the fact that the XIST preprocessor takes care of many compute-intensive operations, that might require dynamic type introspection, string processing etc. and would be executed by the Java tag library code during page load. Fast development combined with low hardware requirements makes XIST4C especially suitable for sma...

  ...building directly upon the prototype. By using Python, maintenance overhead was greatly reduced. Over the next year, devIS developers were able to add new EZRO features quickly and easily, in response to requests from the client. As devIS acquired new clients, EZRO was leveraged to reduce development cost of new projects. In this way, the tool grew in features and scale to what it is today. Python's clean layout and structure also made the code that was released later as open source more readab...
