    ...important to understand in order to use the language to its fullest potential. But there was never a period of painful adjustment, and we never felt we needed to fight the syntax or fumble for ways to implement our algorithms. More pleasant surprises were in store for us. Until we used Python, we were not aware of what a difference programming in such a readable language would make. Some of us already had extensive experience programming in other interpreted dynamically typed languages. We belie...

For the IDE itself, we solve it by shipping with a specific Python interpreter included; a task that's easily accomplished with support found in the Python standard library's distutils package. No other language we have used has been this devoid of quirks, even those we have used much less intensively and across fewer language revisions. Conclusion Without Python, we could not have sustained the Wing IDE development effort long enough to produce what i...

Kuchling: "Some other developers are listed as having signed Python agreements but not Jython ones. This is murkier: contributions going forward are covered no matter what they've signed, and maybe they don'...

But now that types play a more central role, it seems appropriate to have built-in names for the types that you're likely to encounter. Here's an example of a simple dict subclass, which provides a "default value" that is returned when a missing key is requested: class defaultdict(dict): def __init__(self, default=None): dict.__init__(self) self.default = default ...
