  • 2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report

    2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report The grants committee was originally founded to use some of the PSF's "spare" money to advance Python projects. It wasn't initially clear what kind of projects where to be funded, hence the original call for projects was fairly wide. In the call, we indicated that we would give away $40,000 (which was a significant fraction of the PSF's assets at that time); in response, we got over 60 project proposals. Many of them were designed so that they...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...makes it convenient to use any of these types as a base class in a class statement. Second, it makes testing for a specific type a little easier: rather than writing type(x) is type(0), you can now write isinstance(x, int). Which reminds me. The second argument of isinstance() may now be a tuple of classes or types. For example, isinstance(x, (int, long)) returns true when x is an int or a long (or an instance of a subclass of either of those types), and similarly isinstance(x, (str...

Our texter Jan Ulrich has already started working on putting the various stories we did manage to collect together and will continue with this w...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...make an API for each table. Each table's class contains a few class constants that describe the columns in the database. This way we can add new tables to the overall API quickly and simply without having to worry about implementation details for any specific table. The API also uses meta-data to automatically validate and convert values passed to the database. This is done by a "normalizer" function that converts the Python data types being passed through the API into valid SQL values...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...make. Some of us already had extensive experience programming in other interpreted dynamically typed languages. We believed, at the time, that Python's reputation as a good language for rapid development rested solely on the fact that it is intepreted and dynamically typed. But by programming in Python we became more productive than with those other languages. We now believe part of the elegance of Python can be attributed to the fact that it lies in the "sweet spot" between tediously ...

(There are of course many more differences that become relevant if you are writing a new-style class from scratch; this list only lists changes in behavior relevant for the conversion of classic classes.) <ul> <p><li>The method resolution order is different; see the <a href="../descrintro/#mro">tutorial</a>. <p><li>New-style classes that overl...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

    ...make comparisons involving NaNs somewhat less surprising when the underlying C compiler actually implements C99 semantics. Optimized list.extend() to save memory and no longer create intermediate sequences. Also, extend() now pre-allocates the needed memory whenever the length of the iterable is known in advance -- this halves the time to extend the list. Optimized list resize operations to make fewer calls to the system realloc(). Significantly speeds up list appends, list pops, list comprehe...
