  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...what two C++ programmers can't complete in a year. Python shines as a glue language, used to combine components written in C++. Common Lisp and Scheme These languages are close to Python in their dynamic semantics, but so different in their approach to syntax that a comparison becomes almost a religious argument: is Lisp's lack of syntax an advantage or a disadvantage? It should be noted that Python has introspective capabilities similar to those of Lisp, and Python programs can cons...

Some of my team members were skeptical and preferred the tried-and-true power of C/C++ for systems programming. We decided that those members would work on the web GUI for configuration of the product, while the rest of us would use Python for the other components. Implementatio...

  • Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup

    ...what they get.) Problems and Questions P1. When all uses of a module M have the form ``from M import ...'', the module M will have a reference count of 1. So it will be deleted in step M1. This renders all but the most trivial functions defined in the module (which are presumably still referenced by other modules) useless, since the imported modules and functions that they might need are all deleted from their globals. A simple remedy of course is not to use ``from M import ......

    ...what Python would have looked like if I had modelled it after the Unix shell and C instead! (Yes, I borrowed from C too, but only its least controversial features, in my desire to please the Unix/C audience.)
