  • Linux RPMs for Python 2.2.3

    ...download one of the .src.rpmfiles below, and run "rpmbuild --rebuild python2-2.2.3-1.src.rpm". Note toward the end of the output, the lines starting with "Wrote:" indicate where the binary RPMs were written. <p /> The benefit of building binary RPMs in this way is that they are built using exactly the set of libraries and versions of packages that you have installed on your system. Because the SRPMs encompass all the steps required to build binary RPMs, it is a "...

    ...downloaded it, compiled it, and installed it on my SPARCstation. It actually worked out of the box!" As if that weren't enough, further investigation revealed that Python has a number of strengths, not the least of which is the fact that "things just work the first time. No other language exhibits that trait like Python," says Friedrich. He attributes this characteristic to three primary language features: Dynamic typing Pseudocode-like syntax The Python interpreter The result...

  • PSF Trademark Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    ...download the official Python logo files from https://www.python.org/community/logos/ What does the Python logo mean? "The logo is actually based on Mayan representations of snakes. [...] The shapes used (cross/spiral/yin-yang) are also primitive enough that there will always be connotations that can be derived." - Tim Parkin May I use the Python logo to refer to things other than the Python programming language? In order to protect the mark, the Python logo may only be used to refe...

    ...download page. Adding one could bring in more donations from satisfied customers. A mention of the PSF and donations in Python release announcements wouldn't hurt. Perhaps even a link in the installer, if it's not too big a deal. S. Deibel thought these good ideas, and asked if D. Goodger was volunteering for the new PSC. D. Goodger agreed, and also agreed to pursue the ideas above. S. Deibel decided not to dissolve the PSC, but to change its membership to include S. Holden, N. Norwitz, and D...

    ...download components into a workable hierarchy. An Example Python API for DocBook To support development of the necessary content inserter with DocBook, I needed a Python API that could be used to quickly generate the SGML formatted documents. The design chosen for this API provides abstract classes for each document element type in a DocBook Python module. These abstract classes can be inherited in code that defines particular document structures, and can be nested arbitrarily, so that each ma...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...downloads? A "vote on this package" form? What is the original author planning to do? PEP 245 - Python Interface Syntax - Pelletier Jim Fulton has said that this PEP was premature. I agree. It introduces a new keyword, 'interface', and I'm not yet convinced that that is needed. On the other hand, the way this is currently done in Zope also looks butt-ugly, so something may indeed be needed. I think that at some point in the future when we have more experience with using inte...
