  • Bugs in Python 2.5

    ...Python 2.5 In the default installation directory (C:Python25), NTFS permission inheritance gives write access to the Python installation for all users of the system. If untrusted users have access to the system, there are two solutions to the problem: either install to the Program Files folder (where only Power Users get write access to the installation), or edit the access control list to remove the write permission. If write control should only be granted to Administrators, the command: ca...

  • Bugs in Python 2.3.5

    ...Python 2.3.5 IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine).

This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE. Build bugs Some platforms require some tinkering to get a clean build of Python. Some sort ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python. This shows that Python is not just a toy. It is a powerful weapon for solving real problems. There was one concern raised in the beginning of the project: Would Python be fast enough to deal with the real-time demand of the production process? In the CD/DVD partitioner, Python and Linux work perfectly as long as the fastest required response time is greater than 1 millisecond. For faster applications, a real time OS may be required to provide sufficiently fast and precise response tim...

  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...PYTHONHOME (see the usage message, e.g. try python -h). In most situations, the interpreter can be installed at an arbitrary location without having to recompile. The build process now builds a single library (libpython1.5.a) which contains everything except for the main() entry point. This makes life much easier for applications that embed Python. There is much better support for embedding, including threads, multiple interpreters(!), uninitialization, and access to the global interpreter loc...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python as a scripting language. The choice of Python as a development language initially seemed a risky one to the Agency, but its fast learning curve, tremendous power, supportive user community and broad range of books on the subject, quickly convinced them it was the right choice. The initial script development was done as a joint development between the Agency and QualiControl. The project was done in this way to help the Agency develop a solution in the shortest time possible, with simultan...
